Been to fix the pipe. It was fastened ok at fan end just not supported at outlet nozzle end. Couldn't extend the pipe in situ so took the nozzle off, released it from the fan and extracted the whole pipe from the outside. The two parts wouldn't slide over each other until I gave it a spray of...

Just had a quick look. Can't see anything blocking the flue. I can see that the inner pipe in the flue has dropped a little and is not held in place by the outlet nozzle on the outside of the house. It could be that this happened as a result of the fan being fitted. I expect I can fix that...

Switched on again this morning, it was back to the boiler firing when programmer (CH & HW) off. This evening it was boiler not firing but still getting noise. in other word it seems to vary between the two scenarios. I just don;t understand the second scenario. Why do i get the noise when the...

I have an Ideal ff350 boiler, EP2002 controller and a Megaflow system. I noticed that I had a noise coming from the Megaflow last night. It sounded like it was still heating water or possibly a pump running. Sounded louder with ear to tank. Programmer was on timed but both CH & HW lights...
