£10 says there isn’t one
Off grid on the isle of purbeck

It would appear that Hugh wishes to help, so rather than have too many 'cooks', I will leave you in his capable hands.
Best of luck in resolving your problems.

You are more than welcome.
I prefer to work through problems in a systematic and logical manner, particularly when the person seeking help is new to heat pumps. I suspect that having a number of forum members throwing different questions at them could actually be counterproductive.
It's going to be a difficult one to diagnose just off photos... I suspect that the ashp is batch charging the thermal store - that all needs re-plumbing if it ever stands a chance of working properly. Shame I'm basically the other end of the country.

This is one of the problems, you are arriving at conclusions without establishing the full facts.
