When the CH is in use, the DHW doesn't work properly. Sometimes the hot tap can run cold from the moment it is turned on and no hot water comes through. Other times, the DHW will start but run to cold after about a minute. The problem is consistent with the CH being used. I have the CH turned...

Hello I have a Worcester Bosch 28 CDi boiler and have a recurring problem. The boiler works fine for hot water during the months where the central heating is not being used. But as soon as I switch the CH on, the DHW starts to play up. Last winter I had the unit serviced and flushed, but...

Thanks, So I don't need a trap, but I do need a waste kit. I see various types - sink wastes, basket wastes, different sizes, 60mm and 90mm. What size do I need for a 2.5" hole?

What's the simplest option to plumb in a belfast sink? It has a 2.5" waste hole and I've set it up in the garden. It will be attached to the downpipe from the gutters. I was thinking of putting a 68mm hopper under it, but I'm not sure what size waste trap to use. Any advice?

JohnD - Yes it was an earth leakage rather than a short. Seems short is a common misuse for all electrical malfunctions. My mistake.

I have three heating elements, one at the top, middle and bottom of the oven. There is also a light. Each heating element and the light have a live, neutral and earth connection. One of the four is shorting, causing the RCD to trip. I disconnect all connections from each one in turn. Finally I...

Thanks for the replies. There is nothing like the threat of having to pay some guy £110 to focus the mind. I turned off the power to the cooker and removed the back panel. There were three elements and a light. I disconnected each in turn, switching the power on between disconnections until it...

I spent several hours cleaning the oven on my cooker at the weekend. I used a caustic spray on the lining and wiped clean with a wet cloth. Now the oven shorts out when switched on. The problem is only with the oven functions, grill and gas ignition all work fine. I have since removed the light...

I have exactly the same problem with a Worcester Bosch 28 Cdi. I get a poor supply of hor water particularly in the mornings when the heating is running. Problem has gotten worse since the clocks changed - I didn't change the clock on the boiler for a few days - seems if the heating only...

Thanks Thermo. I have been in contact with Rado, he offers a lot of informatio on the website and some additional material on CD if you are willing to cover the cost of mailing from Oz. I received the cd last week, but haven't had time to go through the content. But the information arrived...

I fancied the idea of some sort of DIY cooking facility outside. A wood fired oven was my first choice (have a BBQ already). Looked at some websites for (imported) wood fired ovens and found the price a tad high - like £4000 too high. So the plan is to build a domed wood fired oven from...

Update - plenty of hot water this morning - should I get a plumber to have a look?

Hello I have a Worcester Bosch 28 CDi combi boiler. It has been running fine until this evening. While trying to get hot water to rinse the kids from a bath - the water would not come up to temperature. I checked the heating thermostat and turned it down to ensure no heating demand, but...

Okay, so the tiles can sit over the channel and collect the rainfall and run-off from above the window position. The channels are made from pressed aluminium. I can't tell if they have been cut or not. I think they are from Wicks, can't find any logo on them. Are spare parts available for...
