The pulsing is continueous regardless of demand from the taps !! Is this perhaps a problem with the pump circuit board ?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which brand and what I should be looking for? I know almost nothing about water storage solutions but would welcome any suggestions. How much does these storages typically cost including labour? Many thanks in advance for any input.

Now although there is enough water in it, the overheat light won't light up and I can't press the reset button as it won't press in. The boiler itself feels warm, we've got no hot water but I can't help but suspect the warmth has more to do with the temperature in the flat?? Is that silly and how can I get it going again??

we have a pulsacoil III boiler and at present are getting cold water. The green lights are flickering but occassionally go off for a second or so. The top cistern is full and the cupboard appears warm and even with the booster switch we have been unsuccessful in getting warm or hot water. Any advice would be great.
