Thank you Ric.I think you can even get non-metal tanks that are suited to high-temperature water. Which may give you more choice.
Basically, if your boiler can run some of the radiators and/or the cylinder without the pump being on, and is open-vented, I cannot see that it is likely to be especially dangerous, particularly as it has been tested for thirty years; although I agree the F and E may not be suited to high temperatures. The fact that the pump is on a simple timer is not a safety issue. More than anything, the concern is the system may need the pipes cleaning out as they may be heavily sludged up, especially the cold feed pipe.
Hopefully your new plumber will prove more helpful than the last.
Thanks, think I just need the confidence to get in there and have a look, the loft isn't an easy place to get in and out of, as you have to climb between two major beams as you get torough the hatch and there's not a lot of room.Good work. There is often no substitute for time and patience.
