John - thanks for the reply.

TRV (Thermostatic radiator valves?) - all the new upstairs
radiators
have these. The circuit is off at the moment.

On the old bit of the house, 2 of the twelve rads have TRV.

The overheat light is on constantly. Sometimes the bolier
on light
(next to it) is also on; and sometimes that light flickers.

That doesn't sound good ;(



I will try the boiler thermostat route.

Baxis realty dont like running hot
often the firebox gasket is leaking which trips the overheat
stat.
When was the boiler properly serviced?- Hide quoted text -

Recently - we have an annual service plan with British Gas.

I've rung Baxi and they've offered a service visit - £250 including
parts and labour. Should I take it up?

Not yet. Till all the more correctable problems have been addressed.
