Anyone any ideas!

No hot water from the hot tap.  Can hear pump working when hot tap turned on.  Water heater tank appears to be filling up as I can catch a bowlfull if I open the drain plug.  Can hear the switches in the tap clicking (It's a mixer type), and the cold works fine.

Is this again a manifestation of the NRV problem on the cold inlet, or could I have problem on the hot outlet side?

It does sound like you need to pull some pipes off and see if the hot water comes out , if your getting water into the heater tank , but not at the taps , then either the outlet from the heater is blocked or the tap is broken , that's all i can think of hope it helps .

One trick is to switch everything off and go out to the submersible pump and remove it from the water container, give it a shake and return it into the container, then start the pump again. If this does not work, try draining the hot water tank, do what I suggest with the pump and start again. I have had this happen from time to time and it seems to work for me.

hi see...........  hot water it is possible that the micro switch on the hot side is faulty and not the cold side.which taps do you have?

Thanks for the tips guys.

David, I'll give that a try next trip away.  Michael, taps are of the "lift lever & turn" type, but as I get same result from kitchen, wash basin and shower, I've tended to discount it being a tap problem.
