alright everyone
i just completed my plumbing/gas apprenticeship in the summer and am working on the boiler in my house.
I have an Ideal Mexico super cf 465 which has now had a series of problems.
1.the the boiler wouldn't light and i narrowed it down to the solenoid on the gas valve, i bought a new gas valve for £170 and swapped the solenoid old for new. the boiler works now but only for 5 mins then seems to shut off.
2.i think this second problem is to do with the pump (which was circulating) i began to fiddle with the speed dial which then broke and now the pump doesn't circulate. (wilo gold 50 pump)
i am about to replace the pump with a grundfos ups2 50/60.
any ideas why it would switch off after 5 mins?
any advice welcome
cheers
