Help-Warmflow bluebird 70/90 cuts out?

You said in your first post that you had 'refilled' with oil. Obviously you must just be putting a 20 litre drum or so in, which is entirely different than getting a proper fill up & would often be hard to bleed the oil line! The Allen screw or the 15mm nut would have bleed it, but you may well have needed a different method to do this with so little oil.
Once it is started, even with only 20 litre top up, the boiler should not be "struggling".

any ideals why the red light is not on, I have 120 litre of oil in it at the minute,usually when i switch it on from the control in my kitchen ,the red light would show on the boiler, Now i can hear it trying to start without pressing the red button... nightmare

Well, you shouden't have to do that anyway!

get an oftec engineer in, from the sounds of it, your boilers in poor health and its been left to suffer.

now out of interest. Are you filling it with kerosene or red diesel (gas oil) ?

Definitely time now for an engineer.

By your last post Stefen, my best guess is that exactly what I had earlier said could happen, has happened, - your oil pump may have broke & the boiler is constantly starting/stopping in split seconds as the oil pump catches & slips inside.
It should have been fixed days ago but obviously you have tried to save money, which is understandable.

Could be a number of things. Pump might be goosed, control box knackered or a couple of other things. A quick call to an engineer when you had oil in and you would have been sorted for minimal cost. Its now nearly midday on new years eve. I think your going to be cold for a few more days and have a large bill to pay.

Which is why i recomend to people with oil issues not to play but get an engineer in. No sympathy.

Whereabouts are you roughly in Belfast? Someone might be able to look at it & no doubt tell you what's wrong.
