Whats an honest government? - In my 47 years, i have not seen one yet in this country.

Told you I did it cheap..............

Definitely BG fixed repair for this. - The last one of these I did came to £240 inc labour. - I did it cheap beacause I felt guilty at selling her the boiler 3 years before. If BG are still doing the £150.00 fixed price repair, go for that.

If the H/W is working, but not heating, your'e looking for an air lock on the heating side. - Check if there are any more vents on the pipe from the 3-way valve (if it has one). If so, open them to let the air out, then run it again. You might have to repeat this a few times, as the pump might...

Dont know what the regs are in Portugal, but you couldn't install it legally in GB. - Best bet is to contact Ravenheat fot the appropriate parts and get a qualified engineer to install it, if its legal to do so in Portugal.

I am C & G Gas Service Engineer, but it didn't qualify me under ACOP's, and it doesn't now - thats why I got ACS, so I could legally carrry on working. I am not particularly chuffed about all the rules, regs and training, plus 5 year renewals, but I live with it. However, you as an unregistered...

All sounds fair to me, but those prices may be the going rate in Oxfordshire, however, here in South Yorks (Doncaster to be precise), it is usually price that wins out when the quotes go in, and there is usually someone who will do it cheaper. Consequently, if you want the job, you need to price...

I am not sceptical, I know that sort of money can be earned, but not in my neck of the woods. If they were in and out in a day, how many installers were there? did the system get flushed out & commissioned properly? Usually takes me 2 days on my own for a straight swop, extra trv's, new...

£600 a day changing boilers If only.........

MET - UK ring me regularly to see if I want to take a trainee to work for me for 'free'. I always say no, and have even started wondering why I should give a trainee their final 6 months training for nothing! After all, they charge people £5k for 6 months training!. All the sole traders round...

Yes, turn off let it cool down, then vent pump. Make sure you have towels handy to catch the water that spills out of the venting screw. When you start it up again touch the pipe on the pump outlet to confirm that the pump is actually drawing hot water away from the boiler.

Sorry wrong mod No - twas M96. My problem was meausuring solenoid resistance at valve, which of course, does not show up the dodgy connection. Disagree that you would check all boiler plugs. If the design is good, then you wouldnt need to, obiously a bad design if they then changed it to a...

Installed 7or 8 M90's around 2 years ago (good deal from local supplier). Gas valve gone on 1, flue stat gone on another, and a minor problem on 2 boilers, which nevertheless took me a while to suss out - Gas valve multiplug loose on the pins, which can stop a proper connection being made from...

At present installing, depending on customer Budget: 1) Worcester Greenstar 30 Si 2) Vokera Unica 28 or 32 He 3) Ravenheat CSI 85 B et Have'nt had any problems with any of the above, and no call backs either(might be a bit early to say how reliable any of these are - oldest...

There's a lot of things he needs to check to ensure that each appliance receives the correct supply pressure. Call him back, and if you are still not satisfied get CORGI involved. - If the job is up to standard he has nothing to fear, but if it isn't CORGI will ask him to carry out remedial...
