Cripes! Id better get on with floor and some sort of wall insulation! I do have ancient aluminium double glazing as well so lots of room for improvement measures to take!

Thanks, useful to know. I didnt disable WC, my installer stopped installing it and sourced a vicare climate sensor (modulating) instead so the boiler was never fully comissioned with WC, he did check which one i wanted at the time viessman told him so it was my decision but im a bit annoyed with...

Johntheo5 - based on my recent experience with having this model of viessmann installed for me - yup. But maybe viessmann assume its a smart/modulating thermostat rather than an on/off one.

Tech749 now the weathers getting colder hows the weather comp going? I have the same boiler and originally chose it specifically for weather comp but my installer was eventually told by Viessmann techies that you cant have a a roomstat/timer and WC together (Viessman sales people were not...

One of the experts on here may be able to give a better view but it does sound like you may have a water pressure issue meaning theres not enough water pressure to push water out of the upstairs taps. As you say its only happened since install (and assuming youve not changed taps etc upstairs at...

I think it did RandomGrinch, thanks for help , links and quick responses. I was almost ready to start looking for a new one so for the sake of some patience and 13 quid its helped delay junking it for hopefully a few more good years.

So to update anyone reading this later, i fitted the replacement reed switch a couple of days ago and the problem hasnt re occurred. It was a simple job to lift up the flap on the water tank disconnect the wire and then carefully pop the part out as its only clipped in by some simple tiny...

I did a few normal cycles and the issue didnt repeat. So i ordered a replacement reed switch just in case the issue came back and i have something to try. The white powder gradualky reduced but not completely back to normal so i expect its because the salt was completely empty and takes a few...

I still have this shower valve in place, i never found out the exact cause because i tried several changes and one worked but i dont know which as i was so fed up with the issue i just threw a bunch of changes at the problem with no testing between so no clue which was the fix, probably did way...

Thanks RandomGrinch, that does sound like a similar issue so ill run a few cycles consecutively to see if its a working but worn pump. Im also not sure if the fact that when the issue recurred the salt container was completely empty and maybe was a factor because after filling it up and trying a...

Wow i didnt see the posts on here since my original reply. Ducati was the capacitor i used and I never had to replace it again. The original tell tale that the factory capacitor had failed was it had a very obvious bulge on the side (a bit like a bulbous growth!). Both the factory capacitor and...

Hi any help on this one is appreciated: My Neff S51T69X2GB Dishwasher has started to not complete its wash cycle and i find it on 00 minutes with undrained hot water in the bottom not too long into a wash cycle (maybe 10-30 minutes in but is seems to vary). It did this once or twice before in...

For anyone else viewing this, if you've replaced the diverter and find the problem still isn't fixed eg dhw still not as hot but radiator/s then try descaling the secondary heat exchanger. In the ravenheat I have it is quite difficult to get to but was well worth the hassle, once I got it out I...

Thanks. Are these products effective on pebble dash?
