heating problems- plumbers advice welcome

budget1984

We have a Hamco Glenmore stove fitted in our living room. Our house is 2 years old and this was the stove recommended by our plumber. Unfortunately he has since gone to Australia so we can't get him around to help.

the problem is- we do have a mighty fire down in stove for the entire heat but there is little or no heat in the rads- none at all in the ones upstairs. Also after having a fire going all evening there wouldn't be enough hot water for a bath.

Just wondering if anyone can help us with this problem. There is what looked like temperature gauges on the wall of the kitchen and one in our bedroom upstairs but we don't know what these are for either.

Any comments greatly appreciated.

You need to change the cable (arrowed) in the pic attached, unless you are sure its heat resistant.
