I turned the valve that I put on the end of the pipe - a fair amount of air came out and then I ran about a gallon of water through. The problem still exists...

I removed a dishwasher the other day, it was connected up with one of those flexible washing machine hoses. The numpty who put my kitchen in built the units on top of the joint where it attaches to copper pipe and left no access hole and it's right in a corner. There is a length of the hose...

I think the only people getting upset about this are those that usually charge people over the odds for doing this kind of work - and it's hardly "specialist" is it? I mean we're not talking about the depth of knowledge an electronics engineers would need, or a mechanic. This is the plumbing...

Hi yes it has a back boiler. Can this be plumbed into a central heating system that is pressurised? And there is no smoke coming out now, but hardly any draw.

Hi John, I haven't checked it myself but the chimney sweep did. And yes it's an 18kw - you need to scroll down the page to see it, it's not the one at the top which looks like a 5kw. This is it:

They used to do, it's not on their site any more but it's on other sites - It's like this one but with a multifuel grate in it. http://www.villager-stove-specialist.co.uk/multifuel-woodburning-stoves/villager-a-woodburning-stove.html

I have some, I mentioned so in my post. They don't register any CO2.

[/url] I know dozens of people that have stoves without liners. None of them have died yet.

Hi mate, it was last winter when we tested it originally.

Yes I was thinking along similar lines - maybe throttling the chimney will improve its performance?

I have a rather frustrating problem that I hope someone with a bit of knowledge may be able to help me out with. Last year we installed a Villager multifuel stove into our front room. The output I believe from memory is 18kw. The lounge could be heated by a 5kw one as it is only 5m x 4m but...

Thanks. What's the target price for a liner installed?

My neighbour has installed a multi-fuel stove and ever since he did we have been getting smoke in our house. We are a semi-detached, brick built, about 1895 and our stairs adjoin to the neighbours lounge. We can feel the warmth on the wall from his fire and there is a strong smoke smell and...

Thanks for the info guys. And no I'm not Gordon Ramsey, lol. And actually it's 600W as there are two of these fittings on seperate switches.

Hi, I have a light fitting in my kitchen that holds 6 of those little spotlight type bulbs, they are 240V 50W. This morning I switched the lights on and there was a flash and a pop and darkness, the main 5amp fuse had been blown. The lights have been installed two years with no problems...
