The gas people came and did some work down my road the other day and disconnected our gas briefly. Now the light on the boiler is flashing, i press reset and then after 2 mins of it trying to startup i get flashing lights again. I assume i have air in my gas pipe and the air in the gas...

Right...bit of movement on this: Its a Baxi WM 381 RSC HB. Pump runs. Cant get pilot light on. Still not sure what W or Y plan is but i got 1 tank in loft, 1 in airing cupbopard and the cylinder. Any clues to getting the pilot on. Just changed the lead on the igniter...still no joy.

Trouble is just havent got £3k!

yep!

Will try.....2 people turning up was the result of calling 15 plumbers!

Right. Had enough of my ****e boiler. Got a couple of plumbers come round to quote me on a condensing boiler. Im not sure how old the current system is but its on 8mm microbore. Plumber 1 seemed to think the microbore is not a problem. Nor is the old iron pipe to supply the boiler. Waitiing...

I still get water from the hot taps....its just not hot. The central heating runs from a different tank in the loft.

Its a Baxi, there is no model number on it but it looks fairly old. Access is ****e as its at the back of a low kitchen cupboard.

you will have to bare with me a little bit, ive been used to combi boilers. Should the boiler fire up for just domestic hot water for the taps? I take it i would need to ignite the boiler manually? How do i do that? I havent a clue what a y plan or w plan is? Does the pump need to run...

Right chaps heres one for you: Moved into a new house last wednesday, its got a conventional boiler in a lower cupboard in the kitchen...a right arse to get to! Got a cylindrical tank in the airing cupboard and a wickes programmer on the wall. Neither the hot water or central heating...

Pump is running nicely. Are there any checks with the ignition module that i can do? The continuity between pcb and ignition module is fine on all circuits. If i knew the pinouts and expected outputs i could test the pcb and ignition module. The corgi engineer that i finally managed to get...

good for you, thanks for the help!! This is a diy forum for advice. The system is pressurised as it should be. 1 bar. I have checked the continuity of the circuit with the overheat thermostats. The air pressure switch seems to be functioning. Is there anything else i have over looked...

Hi, I currently have no hot water or central heating from my combi boiler. There are no error messages or anything just no hot water. The display is illuminated as normal. The light changes on the control panel when i turn the hot water tap on so it knows it should be doing something....its...

As the title really. My protherm 80 control panel keeps going off and on intermittantly by itself. If i tap it, it comes back on for a few seconds and then goes back off. Where can i purchase a new front control panel/pcb for it? Thanks, Matt

Currently have a Protherm 80E combi boiler. I have worked out with help from this site that its an expansion vessel fault (pressure flies up). I have had the front off and located the EV. It is a tiny pot built into the pump on this model of boiler. Its not responding to being pumped up at...
