theres this odd whirring noise coming from the boiler cupboard.. cant work out if it's the motor in the pump making the noise or not.. the pump was knew last year.
its only a dull whirring noise, not like the pumps running dry or something
Thing is our heating seems to have stopped working, any idea what the problem/solution could be?
plumber obviously, but only want to do that after we've tried to**for free first.

It might not even be fan flued. Could be an old open flued apollo.

If it's a GRUNDFOSS pump it might just need the end float slack taking up.
Mine did just after it was installed. There's a big chrome screw on the end, you remove this then tighten the smaller screw inside (I think). |

not really gas is it? just hot water

Have a google for instructions first, it's years since I did mine.
The pump is separate to the gas. |

i just bang my pump with an hammer, or undo big screw and turn little screw inside, but watch when it sets off cos you got to whip the screwdriver out quick

You are NOT the most impractical Mand P!!:(
I AM !!! Driving 30 years and haven't any interest ( or a clue) how to change a tyre on a car ( though I know "a Man" who does know) :) Just about change a lightbulb now after 55 years...lol |

About seven months after I got my first car, my tyre blew on the motorway on a Saturday evening. I got Green Flag out to fit the spare, and they threw the burst tyre in the boot.
I put the spare in the bin and got a new tyre on Monday (the day when the bins were emptied round my way). The fella from the garage said, "The tyre will be £20. Where's the wheel." I said, "It's in the bin." "No, you put the tyre in the bin. Where's the wheel?" "It's in the bin." "What - the metal bit inside the tyre?" "Yes. Why?" "Cos that'll be another £30 for the wheel!" :( |
