Tony, you know full well that if you get rid of it then you'll get a phone call the very next day.

Can't you cut away the base of the kitchen unit so that it drops through to sit on the floor?

We use Genus. Must say that we've never had one problem with the units themselves, and the guys are decent to deal with too. Next day free delivery. If you're diy then you'd have to go through us as they don't sell to the public. I don't believe I am allowed to post our website and details...

Oh my god, are there still ELMs out there? What happened to our campaign to have them turned around at Dover?

Bunser. Chris may be right, you may have the old water to water (separate) HW heat exchanger - in which case (usually, though not always) the flow would be reduced if there are limescale deposits. Though I have seen VERY many times combis overheating because of a layer of limescale on these...

Bunser. If it's a plate to plate HE you don't see the limescale!!! Did you flush it with acid and observe if any CO2 bubbles came down the clear tubes of the flushing pump? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ..And the flow remains virtually the same as usual in most cases as...

Hello Tony. Actually that would be extremely soft. Hard water doesn't start until 100.

What boiler is it? Make & model? Is it a gas to water HW heat exchanger?

Bunser. Has your boiler got a plate to plate heat exchanger? I think it has. In that case, I'd go for limescale incrustation within the plates. There will be poor exchange of heat (scale is an excellent insulator). It will require descaling. Where exactly in the country are you?

Bunser. Do you live in a hard water area?

Lenny. From what you said I would suggest an air lock in either the flow or return. Turn the CH off. Turn the boiler stat right up and wait. The water will expand as it gets hot and 'should' push the air bubble out if it's in the flow. If you know what you're doing it is possible to pull...
