Hi All. I have read on here I need to bed my stone/resin shower tray onto a sand/cement mixture to prevent movement. Can I put this sand/cement directly onto the floorboards? Can it be placed under the edge of the shower tray, or does it need to be underneath as well? Thanks Jimmy.

Recently the flow from my bath hot water tap has reduced to a trickle! Well before this happened I replaced the pipes that tee off to my ensuite shower. Does this sound like an airlock?

Well I bit the bullet and bought a new pcb at £143.00. The boiler has now fired up and appears to be working properly. Namsag you mentioned a dirty pilot as possible cause. How do I get at the pilot on this model? :lol:

I have been getting clicking noises from my boiler, being quite handy I thought pilot solenoid and I changed it. The boiler fired up with no clicking. However it soon went off again and tries to ignite but cant. I hear initial click, fan starts up, but stops again, this goes on until I switch...
