Yes it looks like the one in the photo. Honeywell Sundial Y Plan 3 position Diverter Valve.

Thanks for your advice. I think you are right, the motorised valve does seem to be the problem. My problem now is to change it. The valve is situated right at the back of a low cupboard so I am working myself up to crawling in on hands and knees and working in cramped conditions. The...

Thanks for that, I am just off to the hospital yet again to visit our friend. I will try this when I get back. I had noticed the little lever on the top of the valve and I can see where it should clip in.

Sorry for the delay, I have had a busy weekend (I'm getting too old for all this DIY lark). The pipework running from the pump goes to a 3 position diverter valve. The pipe leading to the valve and the two branching off are all hot when the boiler is on but I am still not getting the rads...

The pump is in a cupboard under the stairs and attached to the pipework nearby is what looks like a valve. I could feel some heat on the case and also the pump felt like it was running. I have got to stop at this point as I am off to the hospital to see a friend who has had an operation this...

Not sure where to start. I'm not a heating engineer, I am a retired domestic appliance engineer, on a pension so trying to save money by repairing it myself. The boiler seems to have the main gas valve with a solenoid beside it, a potentiometer, a thermistor, a overheat stat and a pcb (which I...

I have a Baxi Solo. The hot water side is ok but I cannot get the C/H side to work. I thought at first that it was the room stat as it was quite old. I fitted a new stat and also fitted a new programmer at the same time as it needed an upgrade. I still have the same fault, hot water fine, no...

You've got me nervous now, think I might get someone to fit it for me, I'm getting too old to have all that hassle.

I'm still not sure what happens to the inside door handle, it must be attached to the outside handle. Is it attached by a cable or do I need to remove anything else?

Thanks, what happens about the door catch (inside)? I have removed the screws around the edge and the one above the handle but the panel doesn't seem to want to come off

I need to remove the inner door panel so I can replace the electric mirror. I can see the the screws around the edge and the one behind the door handle. What else do I need to remove to gain access to inside the door. I have the new mirror and it looks like it is held on by just one bolt. Any...

I haven't worked on appliances for a few years but normally, after undoing the 2 screws at the rear, the worktop should push back. It will be fastened with keyhole shaped fittings at the front. If this is incorrected then sorry. I did work for Bosch for 20 years but appliances may have changed.

Ordered new pcb yesterday, arrived this morning at 0945. Fitted it by 1030. All working correctly. Thanks for all your advice. nearlypastit
