I've opened the screw half a turn (as far as it will open), but nothing. Looks like I'll need help with the above problem. Thanks, Lee

Hi Phil & Ian, & thanks for your help. That is the screw that I opened, except nothing happened...perhaps I didn't open it far enough? Opened it about a quarter, but nothing happened. Thanks, Lee

Hi, Recently inherited a boiler in a new place, & noticed over the last few weeks the water pressure is getting a bit low.. As of today, it's now stooped below 1 bar, so needs topping up fast. As best as I understand, this model does not needs a filling loop? The videos I've seen to...

After several months, I finally decided to put the heating on today, after much nagging from the wife. Bottom of the front room Rad was cold, but the top hot, so removed the rad & hosed it through for sludge - there was none. I re-fitted the rad, but the problem is the same! I had a new...

Hi, have a strange problem with my boiler. It's a valiant ecoo pro 24, fitted 2/12 years old. The problem started on saturday, when the communal mains supply burst, and we had to have an emergency repair done. later on that day, I noticed the boiler wasn't giving out any hot water...

To cut a long story short... Moved into a rented place a few months ago, not bad, but in need of some work. All of the UPVC windows are blown, but as it's rented, there isn't a lot I can do about that. Decorated the bedroom a few months ago, & have noticed recently mold growing coming...

Hi, Does anyone know a good place to get PCB Mounted fuses? I have a blown one on a PCB, with the specs: T2.5AL 250V (I assume the T stands for time delay?) It's not a glass fuse, looks more like a little black button with feet that are soldered to the board. Apologies if I've...

Hi, i wondered if anything knows much about this.. Our row of houses have a sideways row behind them. In english, at the end of my next door neighbours garden is the side of the rear neighbour's house, whilst at the end of My garden is the rear neighbour's back garden. For about three...

Just pulled the front off the boilr & looked at the pump itself. There's a switch setting on the top or 1 & 2, It's set to 1. Not sure what the setting is, it's not in the manual. In the middle of the pump, there's a slot to fit a screwdriver, but there's no display to show what pressure it's...

My system is a Valiant TurboMax 824E. My front room radiator, which i'm told is the last in the chain, gets hot at the top, but not at the bottom. The "In" pipe going into the radiator is hot, but the "out" pipe going back to the boiler is cold/lukewarm. Google searches pointed me...

My Dad gave me a hand looking at the troublesome rad a few days ago,& he noticed that the pipe that runs back to the boiler was warm,whereas the pipe running INTO the rad was hot. He reckoned there was an airlock that was causing the air in the bottom half of the radiator,thus making it...

I have no idea on the size of the pipes-they've been fitted behind the skirting boards. ( i would have boxed them in myself). Thanks for the bucket test tip,that's something to try out,although it appears when the system is emptied,it's fine for a week or two,then deteriorates. The...

Forgot to mention,none of the radiators are the thermostatic kind,just the on/off kind. i didn't know what they are called though!

I've recently had my central heating balanced,as the front room radiator (last in the chain),was hot at the top,& cold at the bottom. This was great,& the rad was working correctly. However, within a week or two,it's reverted back to the above state,& this morning i've noticed it's stone...
