I posted last week about "hunt the PUMP."
Anyway, to summarise, I have an "old" glow worm floor standing (cast iron" boiler. It is fully pumped etc. THe problem was as follows;
1/ When I moved in 4 months ago the wall thermostat had no effect on the temp. When heating was on, the place just went tropical.
2/ Now the cold whether is here I have recently tried again. But no heating. Lots of HW but no heating.
So to try to rectify a "friend" has done the following in the last week.
1/ Fit a new wall thermodstat.
2/ Fit a new motor to the value (near the pump)(which works)
Anyway, after the above was done, the heating worked fine for Friday night. However, since then has stopped!
So, its not the pump or the valve or the thermostat. What is it?
The friend who "fixed" it seem to think the wiring between the therm and boiler was crap and siad that I would only get heating because I had HW switched on!
As last night was freezing, I really need this sorting. Has anyone any suggestions.
If not does anyone know a good plumber in the Bury area?
I have BG coming on Thursday to do their first inspection as I have recently joined there Homecare plan. Howevr, I think they will charge an arm and a leg to get the heating working before I am covered!
Dear Jim please fix it for me..................
cheers chaps
