Hi. Please can anyone help. My mum has just sent me this video of her airing cupboard.
She had put the imersion heater on to warm the water for a shower when she noticed this horrendous noise. Can anybody shed any light on it ? She has BG cover but before calling them I thought I’d post here. Needles to say, the noise has frightened the life out of her. She switched it off but it continued for a while. It has stopped now though. It is a gravity fed system with a header tank in the loft. The boiler is of the British Gas 330+ type from memory and I think there is already an issue with the diverter valve? To get hot water she has to put the central heating on which is why she used the immersion instead. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks mate, I hadn’t thought of that and I haven’t witnessed it myself but it makes perfect sense. It obviously started after she finished her shower otherwise it just dribbles out.
It stopped working 6 months ago; impeller seized and I managed to get it working again, I guess it’s time for a replacement. Thanks again 😊
