To be honest I'm a bit baffled as to what
could have shorted, and would appreciate if someone could give me a
pointer
in the right direction.

Could be the pump. Disconnect it and try another fuse. Also have a
sniff around the pump to see if you can detect the unmistakable smell of
fried windings.


Thanks Mike. I tried unplugging the boiler and replacing the fuse (leaving
the pump the only thing in circuit which would come on when the H/W is
switched on by the controller). This seemed to work fine, and did not blow
the fuse. Unfortunately when I plugged the boiler back in, rather than the
fuse blowing, it appears all is well again and everything is functioning
normally. I guess I'll just need to hang out for the next deluge and see if
it happens again.
