Thank God for someone with a sense of humor Tony.javascript:emoticon(':D') Personally my tongue is permanently in my cheek and find it hard to take this mad world seriously! If you had the energy to plow thru my post you would see I did note (“Age UK”) after Age Concern as most people still say...

I am always frustrated by finding someone has posted on a forum asking for help, help generously provided and then the story goes cold – no conclusion posted, no thanks, no nothing. I try not to be such a “someone” and in this case if anyone searches Google UK for “Biasi 29S no DHW” this topic...

Yep I was hoping my post might catch “god’s” eye! I have looked at your past posts (about 1% of the many thousands!) and see you are a plumber and from the looks of your profile an expat brit living in Tennessee who is blessed with a sense of humour. I adore Tn (my eldest daughter now...

God bless you both Petit Pablo and ChrisR for your reply. So quick it took me by surprise! Sorry about the bold – I am nearly blind and tend to use “big and bold”! Yes, I think they only changed the head as I asked for the old pieces to be left and only got the red bit. It was cruddy and it...

Hello Forum! Anyone able to give me some advice about work on a Combi Ideal Response 80? A Brit Gas engineer (maybe a contractor not their own man?) said I needed a new expansion vessel and also PRV. I was forced to agree. Job done and billed. Later I tested the old EV and decided nothing...
