Morning All :D
Herself's doing the morning shoppin/paper-getting and posting stuff for her Ma. :)
I am having a coffee and contemplating how awful it is going to be lying on my stomach arms outstretched undoing pump-nuts and avoiding a flood.
I think there's isolating valves either side of the pump but in my experience they never ever work properly when new, let alone after 31 years :(
Hey-ho. I will also need to let the system cool down (nothing worse than trying to hold a hot pump).
Have a good day, I shall report on my success/failure later. :)

Good luck with it all mate. sincerely do feel your pain and wish you all the best!:):):)
 
Afternoon folks:).

Well that's another days work done, ish;).
Its gonna be a homemade soup and fresh homemade bread at tea time. So now have to sit and be teased by the smell of bread baking:eek::D.
Its cold but still no white stuff on the ground although can see a little on the hills, the fire has been getting lit earlier last couple of days:).

Thinking of doing some online shopping, Now where's that list of "I need":eek::D.

....that the pump has been replaced. :)
It took a lot of uncomfortable minutes lying on the floor with my arms at full-stretch and a lot of Anglo-Saxon invective to undo the pump-nuts.
As anticipated the gate/isolating valves either side of the pump were about as useful as tea-strainers in stopping water flow.
A full system drain-down ensued. Pump out, new one in (cannot even hear the new one running) :)
But! the boiler popped its overheat cut-out on first firing up. I have switched the immersion on to overcome the "boiler priority" and also told the CH controls to make no H/W only CH.
Checked for leaks and none-so-far. :) Added a litre of corrosion inhibitor/anti-knock during the re-fill. :)
Waiting for the heating to actually get to all the radiators. ATM only a few are getting warm (TRV's on the rest and its a mild day).
I think we are OK though. :D
