Does anyone happen to have a manual for one of these to hand please ?
(I don't know which specific model it is from the range atm) I'm just trying to work out what's making it run so noisily - the rads are bled, but even with them off it sounds like it's pumping a huge amount of air around the system (gurgling like a b*stard to be more precise) I've just tried to lower the temp at the boiler end in case it was kettling causing it (don't normally notice if it is, as it's in a garage) |

Email or ring up Glowworm. They sent me a copy for mine PDQ. OK thanks for that - for some reason I thought they'd gone out of business ! |

...possibly - Ed or the other chap who repairs PCBs might have one to
hand, The bloke who repairs PCBS ? You mean the one who pays other people to repair them for him ... He's got enough positive feedback for me to consider him a worthwhile bet ! |
