Hi All
Seems I have hot water but no heating. I seem to have a two pump system. The green pump (high left) throbs gently but the red one (low right) does not vibrate at all. Pipe at the top of the red pump is very hot, pipe at the bottom merely hot so I presume the red pump does the heating (how do I tell? ) and is broken. What does the other pump do? Hot water pressure?
I read elsewhere that I am supposed to turn off the power (tricky as there is no switch!) and undo the silver nut in the middle (very stiff and actually has a 20p piece wedged in the slot - presumably where someone else tried to turn it)
How should I proceed?

Crisis averted. While figuring out how to turn off the power to the pump I found out that there was no power going into the pump. The main thermostat said heating should be on but clearly it was not directing power to the pump. So I fiddled with the contacts in the main thermostat and suddenly there was power, a working pump and heat. NO idea what I actually moved so it will probably recur but for now, bliss
