Appreciate all your advice ! Fortunately, there is plenty of room for me to use 64a connectors without fouling or squashing any wire within the back box.... Have connected it all and pleased to report all well, nothing smelling suspect and I have easy access to check connections/connectors...

You've hit the nail on the head - different layout apart from the new earth location which is fine. Are you saying these 60amp rated connectors aren't suitable for use connecting 30amp supply ?

Hi The layout of the Control Switch is different and connections screws of L&N about 5cm further than the length of wire. The earth connection is situated within easy reach. Simples really.....

Hi Guys I recently had cause to change my Cooker Control Unit but the 6mm cabling is too short. Is it feasible and safe (!) to extend the cable using two sections of a 340v 30A Terminal Block (earth is long enough) This would save me having to replace the supply cable and chasing...

Having checked it out with a lot of Corgi installers in the area, none of them have the kit that BG uses but rely on mains pressure for flushing whilst BG put chemicals into the system - leave it for 7-10 days and then use a powerwasher type machine to clean it through.[i]

The inhibitor used was Fernox that isn't black in colour..... the black stuff is rather like iron filings and sludges up at the bottom of a bucket. Thanks

Hi Folks Last year we installed a new Vaillant Ecotec 428 open vented boiler. At the time, the Corgi installer did flush the system to an extent but he did not have the high pressure Power Flush equipment. Recently, when replacing a towel rail style rad, we noticed a lot of black...

Hi Folks I just bought a brand new 1100x600 chrome towel radiator (the flat panel style not the tube type) and after installing, we noticed a couple of tiny leaks from what appeared to be the welding where one of the horizontal panels connects to the upright. I got it from iBathUK who have...

Hi Guys Recently had a Vaillant Ecotech Plus 428 installed and after a few S53 problems were solved all seems fine now. The programmer I'm using is the old style mechanical Danfoss 4033 which has a separate timed,off and constant switch for both heating and water. If it is on 'timed' the...

Hi Guys I have exactly the same problem with my new EcoTech plus 428 as verypuzzled has. It's a real pain in the butt and wife not happy about being cold! Being a simple travel agent, can someone tell me what 'NTC' means and what it's for ? Sorry to be of any bother ! MalcToy

Hi Martin Sorry I can't advise you on your current problem - I'm a simple travel agent! I too am having problems with our new EcoTech plus 428 whereby the boiler won't fire up at times and pressing the 'I' button get the S53 code. Other times, when it's working ok I get the standard...
