No one reported you, friend. I saw your post and acted. If being concerned about DIY numpties. attempting to kill themselves is being sensitive then yeah we're sensitive. And we can all look ourselves in the face and sleep soundly at night.
You will not be offensive in these forums. I will not stand for it.
Aah...went there once, got very drunk on apple juice 🙂

Fell out of the Pack of Cards quite a few times after drinking too much freshly fermented apple juice.

beautiful memories guys but can anyone actually help me on my thread?

have had 2 engineers in to look at it but they can't figure it out but they didnt actually take the burner out.
a 2nd hand one has arrived today from ebay with the same output but different model, will it be straight swap for the engineer or will he shake his head at me like most spanish tradesmen haha?
The boiler could have burst inside and the water level is at the electrode level. Seen that before 🙂 Or it could be a bit of burnt off baffle shorting the electrodes. Loads of reasons, shouldn't be too much of a hassle for somebody who knows what they are doing.
It's a case of elimination.
You can still create a demand on the system without the boiler being switched on. That could then tell you if it's something outside of the boiler. Might be a pump, motorised valve or other component.
You then need to start checking with power off all the components. You're looking for a short circuit obvioulsy. So I would put the meter onto ohms and check all the components.
You're new burner will need to be set up and checked before it can just be bolted onto the boiler. This is a job for an oil technician.

best ones in Padstow Im afraid, Pack o cards failed to get any hygeine points a while back so I stopped having sunday lunch there! Best way to meet me, is buy a kids blow up dingy, a few tinnies and try rowing to Wales, seems to happen quite a bit and the dingy always seems to be punctured by the time the owners get dumped ashore🙂

Sorry to sound obvious but if the stat isn't calling for heat then the house won't trip because nothing is being asked to work.
So, turning the stat up to call for heat might mean the stat is at fault, or the boiler, or the pump or the ... .etc
It's probably time to start isolating/bypassing items until you can isolate which item is causing the cut out. There's no shame in calling in some help - honest! I'd start with an electrician, unless you're competent with a multimeter.

Valve not dripping.valve is working so is the pump

Again I have isolated everything possible except the new fuel box and it still trips

Including the pump?

why would i need to disconnect the pump when i know that it works?????????:banghead:
It could still have a fault on the wiring and still work.

really??? but if i disconnect the pump then the boiler wouldnt fire up would it??

This ain't the first time I've wondered why I bother.
I don't pretend to know all the answers and I never said it was the pump. I was just asking whether ...
Oh never mind! My post was ignored in the first place :smile:

OMG , WHY IS EVERYONE SO TOUCHY ON HERE??? is it that time of the month or what?:cheesy:
AGAIN I am not trying to fix it myself
AGAIN circ pump and valves fine
AGAIN have been eliminating with my engineer
AND is there a rule against uk citizens who live in spain to not be members on here? not looking to employ any of you guys anyway , just after a bit of your advice like you do on forums, its not a job center.
It gets a bit clicky on here doesnt it? and not a nice atmosphere for new members.
Thankyou again to the guys i thanked, MY ENGINEER is going to stick in the 2nd hand burner, will let you know what happens.ADIOS.
