ok, the pump there was making noise because of a lack of water, what is the sytem pressure? should be 1-1.5bar....

the pumps works but the piolet light wont ignight to fire up the boiler for the hot water and heating
I replaced the pump because when hot water and heating turned on the pump just made a funny noise and the radiators were not hot and it seemed to be working very hard. I just want to know how to get the pump to ignight i have checked everything i can think of being a girlie its a bit limited!
