The silver box on top. It looks like a cheap diverter valve.
Random question. You haven’t changed the timer recently have you?

 

[SavageW]

Thinking same Harvest link in the back in right position ?

 

[Oakwood109]

The silver thing on top is new today

Flomasta or something

Sorry really thick again how do i change the timer?

Thanks a lot for all the replies i really appreciate it

 

[Harvest Fields]

Or bridge in timer itself

 

[Oakwood109]

Would that pump take much replacing?

 

[Harvest Fields]

I would do valves as well so full drain down. Check to see if it is spinning first.

 

[Oakwood109]

When you say change the timer do you mean the Honeywell programmer thing?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Put it this way the pumps the same age as me

Yes mate. Do you have a picture of it?

 

[Oakwood109]

Of the timer?

Yep here you go

That looks new. When was it fitted? Also when you put the heating on by itself does the hot water light come on as well at the same time?

 

[Oakwood109]

It was fitted before I moved in so I don’t know to be honest

I would guess 2013

No, just the one light mate

 

[Harvest Fields]

Ok. So excuse my bluntness but if that is the case. Then you should clearly be able to have the hot water and heating on separately. I have just read your first few posts again and you say that you have to have the water on to get heating. This would point to a faulty diverter valve. I have had new cheap diverter valves faulty straight out of the box. Did he go and get the valve or was it on his van. I would ask him how long it has been on the van also.

It's not wired so he can't tell atm

 

[Harvest Fields]

What is not wired mate?

 

[Oakwood109]

No bluntness at all mate, no worries

That new one replaced an old one that he thought was jammed or bust hence why I couldn’t get heating without the hot water being on

He put the new valve on today (flomasta) but couldn’t wire it up as his mate the sparky didn’t show unfortunately

 

[Oakwood109]

It’s a flomasta three port mid position motorised valve fresh out the box

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What is not wired mate?

The valve as the sparky didn't turn up

 

[Harvest Fields]

The valve as the sparky didn't turn up

Ohhhhhhhhh

 

[jtsplumbing]

Looking at what's been done I would be looking at using another Plumber, one who can do the wiring, (Simple wiring) what with your guys charge plus that of a sparks , get that pump & Valves replaced as well , Don't mind me asking what are you being charged for this ? and its still not working.

 

[Oakwood109]

I haven’t paid him yet! Sad I won’t until it’s working

At the moment I have hot water but only two rads functioning (the two closest to the cylinder). The rest are mixture of cold and luke warm

Some fill pipes are scalding to touch others are cold

Think it’s a pump issue?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Sounds like it.

Just think you need to call someone in who knows what they are doing, this guy is a waste of time !

 

[Oakwood109]

Yep I think you may well be right there mate

Thanks everyone for your replies, really appreciate it
