    I suppose I could buzz off out each day, move the wheelie bin and other rubbish, open the cabinet and take a reading! Don't know if I can do it via the website. Octopus sure know! At least we know that gas consumption is near zero! Just had a quick look at what air-sourced heat pumps cost in...

    Thanks for that, I'll google CT1 and see what it says. I just wish I has some spare bits to practise with and see if it really does the job. But it must be some sort of hard plastic to hard plastic. Ta again, mate!:):):)

    No, we have heat, it is just electric convection/fan heaters. And electric blankets and heating the water with an immersion element. We'll survive. Due to the gate valves and the fact that Grundfoss no longer make the pump I'm leaving it to the pro. For once. ;)

    Got CH pump off with no more water spillage, cleaned it up, put it back on. Long story short, it hummed and got hot with no boiler on and no hot water, so I guess that although it seemed to spin quite freely, when turned by hand, the electronic bulls' droppings that turns it by induction or...

    Testing and changing the glow plugs on a TD5

    What happens with the glow plugs is governed, of course, by the ECM. @sierrafery will be able to tell you more about this than I can and may be able to throw some light on the situation. But yes injector sealing could possibly be part of this.
