Well got up this morning and jumped in the shower - all nice and hot then turned the temp down a bit and the hot water went cold again! Diaphragm replaced yesterday and flushed out the plate heat exchanger as well just in case and it was clear. Anyone got any ideas?

Am trying that at the mo mate, got a load of air out upstairs so guessing it will blow round eventually! Thanks loads mate - you is a star!

Thanks Andy changed the diaphragm earlier and cleaned up the housing inside, cleaned the rods and greased them and now the hot water kicks in lovely! Bled the pump with the bleed screw at the top and pumping away nicely. Only problem now is that it still sounds like there's air in the...

If I did that she'd want chocolates as well mate :mrgreen:

Just tried it and the rod slides out but not far enough to push the microswitch to make the circuit. Looks like I'll be on ebay and a bit busy later this week! and buying the missus flowers for waking her up to turn the taps on upstairs while I was 'p*ss*ng about again!' Thanks Andy

Thanks Andy I had suspected this earlier today when I read other peoples similar problems with the 30 HE but had discounted it as its only the upstairs where its not hot. I'll give this a try mate as £7 is nothing compared to the moaning from the missus with the heating on! Cheers

Thanks Tom but if the valve is opening fine for the downstairs DHW how can it be jammed? Is it that there is more pressure when the downstairs hot water is on? Cheers

Hi all, This one has got me stumped! Running a Main 30 HE combi fitted in the kitchen and it was fitted before we moved in 5 years ago, worked fine til last the last couple of weeks. The problem I have is with the DHW not kicking in properly upstairs. Both downstairs hot water taps work...

Not sure how you getting on with this one but I would suggest you contact British Gas direct as that is who your contract is actually with. If you involve them now it will be more beneficial as they will carry out their own investigations into the problem and identify solutions to it. Were...

Hi Chris Laguna's are renowned for it. 99.99% certain its a Garrett and you can pick one up from Ebay for between 350-400. You don't need gaskets or anything but it is an awkward swine to get at (well, my spade sized hands struggled but did it eventually!) When you do it pour some oil into the...

Renault did extend the warranty - well pointed out Kingboy. There is a ton of information about this on www.renaultforums.com My car has still only done 63K but because it did not have a fully stamped service book they dismissed it out of hand, even though the car had been serviced by...

Rich Sorry to tell you but your turbo has blown! It is unbelievably common on the 1.9Dci - mine went about 5 months ago. If you are a half competent mechanic the cheapest way to go is to get a replacement from Ebay (about £375) and have a crack yourself. It isn't hard to do, just...
