    Hey all, when I turn my heating on it turns off after about 20mins, after this a hissing sound can be heard coming from the burner for a time. The heating has not been used for about 4 months but after returning home recently and turning it on this issue has become apparent. Another recent development is when it is on for that short duration the overflow pipe from the loft starts overflowing. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar and if so how was this issue resolved? Many thanks.

    remove the back cover of the boiler the pump is more than likely there

    And get a remote acting firevalve, the wheelhead valve fitted is useless where its fitted
