Urgent Help Needed

Fuel filter i think. Would be mildly surprised but it had been deep in the red a few times over the last couple of weeks so maybe that fucked it a bit. Wasnt due a service for a while on it.

You’re not at your first rodeo here. It was drummed into me as a young lad not to run the motor with fuck all juice in the tank. All forms of shit then make their way into the system causing issues such as you’re now experiencing. Golden Rule 1: The needle drops into the last quarter - Refuel.

That’s what my father always said. Fill it up and top it up when you go below half way.

That might have been true 40 years ago but it’s not now.

Good man, you’re sorted so.

For the record (and to cement the reputation of forum PRO for Clare GAA @Raylan) what did they charge you?

I made the tragic mistake of calling with an elderly (and farmless) aunt just as her boiler packed up. The red button isn’t lit up, nothing happens when I press it. There’s oil in the glass thingy above the boiler, but none coming when i bleed the boiler.
I take it there’s a fuse in the virtually inaccessible grey box…might that be the problem?
Is there anything i should try, or will she need to get a man in?
Sorry for using heavily technical language…

You need to whip out the motor and a quick burst of a wire brush will clear off the soot and shit that accumulates around the solenoid and you’ll be away in a hack.
This mightn’t work but for the sake of 10 minutes you’ve eliminated one problem.

How in the name of clifford am i going to whip out a motor?

It actually fired up there, then stopped when i turned my back to walk away. I passed on a few of your quips…she says they remind her of a man she met in the stardust ballroom, sligo, circa 1956
