some advice about solid fuel stove

i know this isnt strictly money saving however im desperate for some advice.
we are running a charnwood la45 stove which runs 5 rads and are having problems, ill try and keep it short.
we are stoking the fire up well and the pipe running to the tank is getting to 65 degrees. i have the high limit stat set to 85 and the return set to 45 as charnwood have told me. i turn the timer on when we have the stove going but it doesnt seem to start pumping unless i override it by reducing the high stat to for example 60 degrees c.
the pump has recently been replaced as has the high stat. when i do override the system and it pumps to the rads it gets hot downstairs but the upstairs ones are barely luke warm. i have had the heating engineers out twice now and they do not seem to understand the system. they are telling me that the system wont pump unless i get the cylinder up to 85degrees (which is almost impossible). i phoned charnwood and they have said this is nonsense the high stat is just for safety purposes so it kicks in the pump if you have the timer set to off for example overnight to stop the water boiling
if theres anyone out there that knows this system i would be hugely grateful for any advice.
i am using welsh blend anthracite which is recommended for this stove
thanks again

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.
