As promised opening my own thread to save monopolising Pauls experiences 
We have a 3010 system, fitted when built 2006? we think, not registered till 2009, bought by us in 2013, we suspect it has never had a fluid change, so that started me following a few threads, particularly as our header tank is a little low and needs topping up, that would be about the third time I would have done that with tap water
So we are now booked in at Alde UK for early May for the £200 fluid exchange
that would seem to be the easy bit
we have 2 further issues to resolve, although until today we thought we only had one
our pump is mounted right under our bed, although not overly noisy during the day, when it cuts in and out at night on the thermostat it disturbs our sleep
simple option, turn off at night
no thanks, we use our MH out of season and have had -10C (outside) overnight, not doing that without heating
next option adjust the program to not run for the key hours in the middle of the morning, but that would involve a degree in programming way above my current education status, the keyboard has so many options, I daren't even open the lower display options they literally scare me
but I have now found out that Alde created a new controller to exchange for this scary thing, probably due to a melt down at their technical help line, I have even heard that these have been fitted as a DIY project, not really sure that will come under my brief but I have watched the video at least, so know how someone else did it
I have options to leave it till the service visit and get Alde to do it, buy one and try or more likely buy one and take to Chester and give it my best 'need help look' and hope there are willing helpers going, must have a look at the attendees
but for now I cant even find it on the Alde web site, but have found an upgrade kit including the back plate for £270 on ebay, but don't know if that is good or bad price wise
great idea by Alde to improve the controller but why could they not make it the same shape
over the next few weeks I will give it my best attempt to understand the programming options, but also intend doing the upgrade or at least have it done in May at the service by Alde, plus review the pump noise level
there is an option for Alde to relocate the pump
anybody else been through similar upgrades / issues?
