Thanks Tony I thought I’d read before about someone bypassing this but thought best to post to see if there was anyone who’d confirm. regards paul

Hi just an enquiry as to whether anyone has had issues with the vetus m3.10 wiring loom plug at the engine. my engine seems to want to start when it feels like it and after changing the starter solenoid and the relay Which we’re both in bad shape I’ve now discovered that the fault lies with the 12pin plug on the engine . is this a common fault?? has anyone bypassed this plug ?? Or is there a better alternative as in an upgraded one. thanks in advance paul

Hi mike i was thinking of connecting a hose at the lowest point where I’ll connect one of the self tapping valves and a pipe to drain at the highest point of the system having closed of the header tank and just let the hose run till it runs back freely. does this sound like the right way to go ?? regards Paul

Thanks mike would I need the pump on while flushing the system. regards Paul

thanks chaps I’ve just found one with a 22mm adapter would this be suitable with pressure from the pump and heat mike?? regards Paul

Hi jen The system is an existing system that worked before as I purchased the boat from a friend I’m at work at present so am not able to look as to what make the stove is as for the pump it seems to be working as you can feel movement on the pipes I cracked the drain off closest to the calorifier but had only the slightest of trickles both with the pump on and off which makes me think it’s a blockage. ill post the stove make later again thanks for all members help. regards paul

Hi all thanks for your replies and on further in spection I fear I have a blockage as I’m only getting water from one drain off valve that being the one at the highest point, the system has no radiators but has a pump I think the way may be to flush the system as suggested by mike the boiler man unfortunately there seem to be no drain offs on the lower pipe work so I may have to disconnect both pipes going into the back boiler and flush from there. Ant further suggestions greatly received, and thanks for all replies so far. I’ll keep you all posted with updates. regards paul

Hi all I’m new to the forum and I’ll probably find that this question has been answered before I have aback boiler stove feeding my calorifier with a pump in line but am faced with an air lock has anyone got any suggestions as in how to shift this as I’m in dry dock and can’t run my engine for hot water. thanks in advance paul
