    Its fine when its on, but after a while it starts to make a kind of vibrating noise. then when its turned off the vibrating noise keeps going for an hour or so.

    Any ideas?

    could be the pump, im pretty sure its the black thing at the top of the burner. extremely hot to touch.

    EDIT: i know nothing about oil burners, this is the first house ive ever been in which has one.

    only the radiator in the kitchen and sitting room are like that, the one in the hallway and all the ones upstairs are warm the whole way through.
    those two must be full of dirt id say


    PS: lets ditch the OHs and be together at last

    Could be a loose baffle, I have seen this happen before when the boiler gets hot.
