I suspect that the pump may be the problem. Unfortunatly I cannot
locate the pump, the boiler (Ideal Mexico ) is located in a cupboard
in the kitchen, but I dunno where the pump is, I can hear a clicky
sound from under the floor close to the boiler,under the kitchen
cupboards/worksurface etc. maybe its there.
IIRC the pump is inside the boiler case on a Mexico.
We have a Mexico, there is an external pump - though it's a few (3-5)
years old and of course I don't know what other models there might be.
In our last house the pump was indeed underneath the middle of the
kitchen floor.... Damn stupid place for a pump :-) took me while to
find it as I couldn't believe it was in such a silly place
OK there was access into the crawl space from the hall way - but it was
an awkward shuffle on your back.
