i recently purchased a sterling eliter searcher, which has been brilliant apart from the Alde 3010 heating system.
First i had problems with an error saying "serial". This was due to a bad electrical connection. I resolved the problem eventually but it meant we had no heating or hot water in the van during a cold weekend. Then when the system was working only 2 of the rads become warm, probably due to an air lock somewhere. I bleed the 3 points that i can find. This improved it slightly but not the rads at the end of the run. Also the circulation pump was very noisy. I assumed that this was because the level had dropped slight in the expansion tank after i bled the system. To resolve this i topped it up to just above the minimum.
I now have a new problem, where the control panel is set for the heating to be on. It shows that the circulation pump is on, but it isn't. Which means that we have no heating again.
Can anyone help with this new problem?
