Hi all.

first post here and not an expert so some of what I describe may not be termed totally accurate but hopefully will give the info so I can pick your collective experts brains on a number of issues which I think could be related...

i have a conventional system. Main 24kw HE boiler, Drayton wireless thermostat/programmer. All rads apart from 2 have trvs.... Hot water cylinder and pump in airing cupboard... Been here for 18 months, boiler is around 2 years old. The pump needed replacing when we moved in and I have had new rads fitted...

- system has always been 'noisy'. I have been able to hear what I can only describe as 'running' or 'gurgling' water in the boiler. I thought that the system would be sealed, so assuming no air meant that I would not be able to hear the water moving about the system so much.

- over the last couple of weeks, each time the boiler has stopped, there has been a 'clunk' from the pump as it has cut out.

- notice over the last few days that even where the thermostat temperature has not been reached, the boiler is stoping, come on 5 minutes later for a minute or so, then goes off again

any pointers you helpful kinds could provide would be very much appreciated.

Dan
 
you need to get a heating technician in to check the system over as to why its full of air, leading to boiler overheating and short cycling. then they can fix the issues for you.
 
Thought my boiler was kaput a couple of days ago. Drayton programmer like yours and the boiler was acting like it was locking out- put some new batteries in the programmer and now it's all good.
Worth a try.
