Glow Worm Ultracom 35 store.

Hi Everybody.
Hope someone can shed some light on this one, the above boiler rattles when you call for hot water or when it heats its storage up early morning, but it is ok when the heating is on, its quite lowd and vibrates through the pipework.
It does it almost immediately even before the burner has kicked in.
I have replaced the plate to plate, diverter valve and the pressure vessel over the last few monthes and this has started just in the last few weeks.
I have spoken to Glow Worm technical but not a lot of help, I suppose telephone diagnosis can be tricky.
If any one can help it would be most appreciated.
many thanks

Alan

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice please. My system has 5 Drayton Wiser TRVs. There are 8 rads over 3 storeys and a 170l unvented cylinder. One of the attic rads is in the same zone as the cylinder so just has a "dumb" TRV on it. The two bathroom rads also remain without TRVs and I...
