    Heating’s been foobarred since before christmas. Managed to get it running by running hot water on constant and turning it on full. (water is now scalding hot – not good with kids in the house)

    I think a valve is sticking but I’m not sure which one.

    any ideas?

    BTW – It’s a 2 zone system (upstairs/downstairs) with a glow-worm boiler. Thermostats are working ok and I think the Grundos 15/60 3 speed pump is working OK too (thank fook for heating forums)

    Merry fookin Chrimbo !

    *Update*

    After a few hours and a lot of googling I have found the problem!! (YaY!)

    It’s a zone actuator valve. Well the actuator not the valve

    just gotta find somebody to fit it now ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    Will phone plumbers tomorrow

    Actuator is just a small stepping motor you can do it your self, just get the same one you have fitted ๐Ÿ˜†
