Lot's of things to fix this week: shower doors sticking and heating not working. I think the circulating pump is stuck in the oil boiler. Will investigate and try to unstick it before the plumbers get involved.
Edit: Just as predicted, the pump was stuck and this isn't so good. These pumps usually have a slot at the end of the impeller shaft (under a screwed on cover) that can be turned to unstick the shaft. Not much hope of doing that because of the way it was plumbed, facing away and up against the insulation. Anyway a few taps with the handle of a mallet unstuck it (Don't hit these with anything hard. In fact, don't do any of this at home unless you understand basic safety procedures working around electricity)
Chances are it may be on the way out, but fingers crossed. I've saved €230 for the moment.
