Just another update on this, don't know if it makes a difference to the diagnosis, The boiler stays active for longer with reduced flow, e.g. tap on half way it will fill a bath, if it's full on it needs 're setting within a few seconds

Hi guys I have replaced the plate heat exchanger but I am still experiencing the same issue, heating runs fine but hit water runs from 30 secs up to 2 mins but then the boiler needs 're setting , any other ideas?

Thanks muggles, I am lucky enough to have a next door neighbour who is gas safe registered so I do the work, he then checks and services that way I save a bit of money (unless I make a complete balls of it)

Thanks guys, I replaced the heat exchanger about 5 years ago so it is probably due (old rads but new boiler 10 years ago) Can it be cleaned/flushed out or am I better replacing again

Hi, Yes, I get hot, cold, hot, cold then just cold I replaced the flow turbine a few months ago and the old one was pretty disintegrated, I thought I got all the bits out but looks like there maybe some bits from that in the plate heat exchanger

Hi I have a greenstar 28i junior that I keep ha ing to reset when running hot water, it's fine with heating but when I demand hot water it will run for 30 seconds or so then will cut out and need a reset If I reduce the flow on the hot water tap the hot water will run for longer and...

Hi, I want to remove a stud wall in my house to make my lounge bigger and to open up the stairs, is there an easy way of determining if the wall is load bearing? My house is 110 years old so i would presume that this is not an original wall,however the wall above it in our bedroom is a...

Thanks andy, From further investigation today I have noticed that the pressure rises even when the boiler is off, I have also noticed that there is a very small amount of water continually comming out of the pressure release pipe outside, but would that also let water into the system, I have...

Andygasman2010 - Thanks, Yes the pressure only rises when the heating is on, i can run hot water all day and the pressure stays fine, its funny that the pressure does not go down even after the system goes cold.

Andygasman2010 - "It sounds very much like the braided hose is blocked" I have removed the braided hose (easy enough as we have a side flue) there was no blockage in it When you say the PRV may need some attention what do you mean?

Thanks Guys, bryanpar, I have to let water out of the system every 2 to 3 hours as the pressure does not drop when the system goes cold, I didnt directly pay for the repair its part of my Natwest insurance. Andygasman2010, we have 3 double rads and 2 single rads, The part he took of is...

Hi Guys, I have recently started to have problems with the above boiler. When the heating is on the pressure slowly rises to the point where it expels water out of the saftey pipe outside, I got homeserve out and the engineer replaced a part and said that should be the problem solved...
