my friend has recently purchased and moved into a property issue they are having is the bath will only fill with hot water for approximately a quarter then it shuts down not water at all. similar with the central heating it turns on for a short period of time then cuts out. hot water cylinder on the first floor CWSC in the loft space with a glow worm boiler space saver mk 2 on the ground. any ideas on the issue. i am not local to attend and attempt a fix so i am seeking the adice to forward if possible many thanks
Elderly boiler, better off replacing it. Pointless repairing it, I can remember council fitting the 30Bto properties, way back around 1990, might been a bit earlier.
Totally scaled up heat exchanger most likely, causing it to shut down. Fit Magnaclean Pro 2 to system, give system a good clean out with X800 or other cleaner, then fit new combi boiler. But, I would budget for new radiators, did a system for a friend, fitted Magnaclean, in with Adey cleaner,it removed the crud, but ended up with pinholing on several radiators. And dump cylinder, also probably in a poor state, as not needed with combi.
