Gravity fed system wiring fault???

[stanna]

Afternoon Plumber gurus.

Have a rented property which has a gravity fed system in it. Been asked by tenant to sort a few problems with heating. 1. bleed a radiator (give me strength) the other is she cant have hot water without the heating on. (had house a year)
I thought this would be a MZV problem so ripped up laminate flooing and floor to get too it and it seems fine. now realised if it was that it would be other way round ie hot water no heating as valve operates when both selected.

Whilst fereting round the MZV i noticed when only hot water is selected the pump does not run. This is confirmed as fault as when switcing on for HW only the boiler runs for a couple of mins then shuts off. So it appears to be heating whats in the boiler then shut down as its not being pumped once reaching right temp.

I remember when doing kitchen the programmer came adrift when being rewired and sparks said he would sort it.

Does it sound like fault at progger end or control unit?

Hope you can help

Quick update

Ive had progger off and been messing with wires.
Its a danfoss 102e5. If memory serves sparks was messing round with the 3 wires that go to terminals 1 and 2 and kept changing them.
All 3 are flex rather than 1.5 t&e.
Im assuming they are room stat, cylinder stat and 1 for the zone valve.
What should be correct connection once ive identified which is which.

Thanks

Thanks ive got that

Ive looked at various wiring diagrams and believe i have a C plan wiring layout given 2 port valve. Problem is that no diagram shows having 3 lives going to the 2 connections on progger. I guess this was a short cut but cant work it out.

Doesn't the words 'gravity system' ring any bells.

Well should the pump run when hw only selected on a "gravity system" ???

No, it's wired wrong so you need someone that is competent in wiring heating systems to come and rectify it. Your electrician clearly wasn't and by the sound of it you are struggling. Get a professional in before you waste any more time. This is not something that can be diagnosed over the internet.
