thats fantastic, thank you all, think i'll get working on it tomorrow in daylight. i was going to post my artist impression of how it should look like with new fitting but that diagram is excellent. lol

Thanks I've recently switched electric off and had a closer look, there are 3 cables leading to rose, 2 cables have 1 red wire/1 black wire and 1 earth wire, ther 3rd cable have 2 red wires and an earth. Seems like this is the loop system where the bathroom light switch only interupts the...

I want to change my light fitting in bathroom(not switch) but have not attempted as yet. The problem is that it looks like it is a ring setup with all wires connecting at the rose rather than a junction. Each rose has 3 sets of cables going in to them making it difficult to change rose...

Correct ! He came out this morning within an hour and it's the APS, also said the AAV could do with replacing as its letting in water. It's fixed for the moment but said he would need to come back and replace part, costing another £120 on top of the £69 I just paid. However, he has...

The boiler is self lighting, lights on demand of hot water/CH The fan does run There is no spark when the there is a demand, normally you would hear a clicking sound and gas lights. No the red led is not flashing. This all points to ignition problem to me, however one engineer this morning...

lol, I wish was, I could kill for a hot bath now !! Anyway, i'll be leaving this thread as you all seem to be able to argue without me and my big spoon ;) For those who are concerned about my situation and tried to help or would like know what the problem was, I will post when an engineer...

Softus there is no way you can justify high call out charges, in any field not just this one. e.g I took my car to a garage the other week because a pipe under the bonnet had been cut in half, he wanted to charge me £95 labour and £20 for the pipe. I said i'll come back, instead I went to...

That's why the government charges me NHS fees !! I'm not moaning about people making a living I am moaning about the charges "these people" think are acceptable for something that is a necessity. Don't try and judge my debt situation without knowing me and why I'm in it and what i'm doing...

Cheers CDG, Sounds like you have your head on the right way ! I could see them closing ranks, obviously they are people who charge quite high for what they do. ok, so here we go... Yes I repair my own car Yes I have good teeth Yes I do most DIY No I haven't used a solicitor...

hmm, i'm quite concerned that you think some engineers prices are justified ! It seems some companies actually use emergencies to make money than help out someone like myself. Anyway, thanks for your help, looks like i'm going to have to call out someone and get myself further in debt.

doesn't the pipe with the flow switch on provide water for taps and C/H ? The diagram in my book shows .. domestic cold water supply ---> Flow Switch----> Through Heat exchanger---> domestic hot water out To me that means water is detected as flowing through flow switch, it send signal...

didn't think of that... checked it and it's in the down position, is it possible to overheat and switch off with the switch stuck in position ? Can I force the cut off switch to activate to see it if pops up ? another note, just checked the manual and it has a flow switch. How can I...

oh sorry, it was on 3/4 bar, default on mine is 1 bar so i refilled it to 1.5bar and still same problem. (to refill my boiler I have a blue tap under boiler, i'm guessing as it's a combi it only needs cold inlet) I've had it drop below 1bar before and it wouldn't lite but you could still...

Please help I really don't like calling out engineer who charge the backside of you. I have a Worcester 24i combi boiler that has been working perfectly for 8 years now, was working fine at 1pm today and packed in around 6pm. I'll break it down a bit more... Cold water - all fine runs...
