Evening All, Quick question, I've recently had some new windows installed (I'm in the middle of a renovation of a 60s house) The old timber frames have been removed and replaced with UPVC. Now upstairs, I have noticed (where the plaster has come away) that there are loose bricks sitting on...

It a vented system with head in the loft if that makes any difference? cheers Ben

Thanks Fluffster. I've done some more investigation tonight and it appears its a somewhat interesting installation! Upstairs appears to be a dual pipe system. The pump etc are in the airing cupboard, whilst the boiler is in the kitchen. Pretty much straight after the diverter valve the...

Hello again everyone, As mentioned previously I'm in the middle of a house renovation and I'm trying to sort the previous CH installation out. Basically, the system used to have a back boiler downstairs, which was replaced as part of the Warmfront?!? scheme with a Worcester Bosch 24Ri in...

Thanks for all the help Gents. After a lot of searching on here, it seems the Worcester Bosch fix for earlier boilers is to fit a 0.47uF 250V capacitor between the orange and neutral. The cap leaks enough of the voltage away to stop the boiler firing by all accounts and it's fixed my problem...

Thanks again gents. I'll investigate the use of a resistor, as I think (from searching on here, some Worcester Bosch boilers will fire up with a comparatively low voltage on the orange wire) Incidentally, I'm sure from me messing about earlier, when I switched to CH only, the valve...

Hi Boilerman, Thank you, I must apologise for forgetting to mention in my first post, I'd pulled the orange wire out from the terminal block and it was indeed staying alive (The orange lead) So I think you've confirmed my suspicions about it being the actuator. Only question now is, do I...

Hi everyone, Real quick one (Hopefully) I'm in the middle of renovating a house, and I'm trying to sort the central heating. It's a Worcester Bosch 24ri, and I've noticed when I'm working round the house, the boiler is constantly cutting in all the time. The pump seems to be running all...
