Neither of them gave me the actual readings. They just said they'd never seen readings so high. Its still turned off now. I have called another engineer who specialises in Baxi's, he can't come for a few days but I'd rather wait for him then have these 2 back. I'll let you know what happens!

Its a side flue.

I think it may well be the Solo 3. I had a look on Baxi's website at their discontinued products and it looks to be the same model. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick replies. I will call a different company tomorrow and ask for an experienced engineer. Laura

Hi, I'm looking for some advice please. I have a Baxi boiler (solo, I think) that was installed 9 years ago. Its been running fine but I hadn't had it serviced for a few years so I called a local firm last week to carry out a service just for peace of mind. The young guy that turned up took...

thanks jon, really helpful advice :)

I need advice please on preparing and painting the under side of a porch roof. Its been left to get in quite a bad state, with alot of peeling gloss paint. The area is 7m x 1m. Its peeled right back in places to what Im told is asbestos. I planned to scrape back the loose, flaking paint...

After trying a few different products, including silvo which made no difference, I ended up replacing the mixer tap....expensive lesson!

Ive just been on the 'money saving expert' website. There is a whole section on these haier washers being useless faulty machines! And the same fault seems to be the spin and drain problem....at least I know its not just me or something Ive done!

Thanks for the tips :)

If anything I think its been underloaded. Yesterday I filled the drum full to bursting so that the whole space was filled and hopefully as it span it would be evenly balanced in the drum. For the first time in wks it worked and the clothes smelt fresh coming out. I tried to do a second...

Ah, I see. Could we really be putting in an unbalanced load 8 out of 10 washes? Just looked up some reading on this. Could there be a fault within the washer that is registering it as an unbalanced load, or is that not possible and its purely human error? Thanks.

Im not sure if its a drainage or spinning problem on my 'haier' washing machine. It seems to complete the cycle as normal (doesnt make a difference which programme we choose) but then even after spinning the clothes are still wringing wet. There isnt any water left in the bottom of the drum...

Hi Zampa, In your opinion could this shrinkage problem have occured between a coat of zinsser (shellac based, the red tin) and the flat oil then? The zinsser coat seems to be intact, its only the flat oil thats flaking away. Do you think sanding the surface down, removing the flaky areas that...

Thanks. Was I right in thinking that the flat oil should repel the moisture and would be just as efficient as soft sheen? I hate any of the kitchen and bathroom type paints, they are a nightmare to apply, and never give a good finish no matter how carefully applied. I usually use soft...
