I'm having trouble getting the upstairs radiators warm, the

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.

Anyhows the kitchen was modenised just before we moved in, about 4
years ago and the floor is covered with nice stone tiles, so removing
the floorboards to locate the pump is really not an option.I would
have to totally remove the cupboards and worksurface also.

Can I add a second pump to the system somewhere to boost the water
upstairs and around the cold radiators. If so can someone suggest a
pump and where I should place it..

Ofcourse the problem could be something else , but I cannot think of
anything else it might be .


Many thanks from a gratefully novice.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

ITs difficult to fault find on your system via the net but i would not
listen to that set square chap as he obviously knows a little about ch
repairs....It could indeed be the pump....However there may be a
restriction or low water in your system.....did you get water as you
bled the upstairs rads....I bet your correct regards the pump....I
hope you are...its an easy fix....

ps...even if the pump seems to be turning it may only be powerfull
enough to heat a few rads

If you had bothered to keep up, you would know that he has already changed
the pump to no avail - and is now following further sound advice -
mercifully not yours!!
