I had the same problem. Blank screen. Changed batteries, but still nothing. Wondered if one if the kids had knocked it off the window sill and batteries weren't making proper contact. Took back off by pushing two clips in battery bay so I could see the circuit board then from the back eased the...

That's the problem really. The Santon Premier Plus PP150E comes in at £536.06 (incl VAT) and has a 30 year guarantee and the Ecocyl 150 comes in at £429.70 (incl VAT)

Hmm..... after listening to more advice, it seems that having a store of hot water, readily available is a good idea. A local plumber has given me a price to supply and fit a replacement cylinder by the name of Therma Q Evocyl 150 for £750, which doesn't sound bad. Any thoughts on these...

I had a long chat with the Vaillant technical helpline this morning and they have suggested that in fitting a new cylinder to a 15 year old boiler, I could be throwing good money after bad and they have suggested buying a good, high output combination boiler, such as the Vaillant 837 Plus...

I can't find any of the Vokera Aquaflow cylinders on the Grahams website! :( http://www.grahamplumbersmerchant.co.uk/heating/cylinders-immersion-heaters/

"Being a plumber or heating engineer SOMETIMES seems to be a licence to print money" Like ALL trades, there are some bad apples that spoil it for the rest.

Oh well that was easy then, but good to know there are cylinders out there that will fit the space we have. I like the 25 year warranty too. Sounds like a quality cylinder. Not cheap either. I don't mind spending the money if I get piece of mind and longevity. The reason I am doing my...

Thanks for looking that up for me. :)

There is only around 8 inches between the top of the Vaillant Vantage cylinder and the bottom of the boiler and a much taller cylinder looks like it wouldn't fit! I had a look at the RM Cylinders and Santon websites this morning and the cylinders all appeared to be much taller and as you...

Does anyone make a replacement cylinder that closely matches the space and pipework connections of the Vaillant Vantage 150? Not that I plan to do the job myself, but to place the cylinder in the same space under the Vaillant boiler and make the job easier for the engineer to do the pipework...

This just came in from another source: "Those cylinders rust through on the coil. So the hot water is pressurising the boiler. It will need replacing. Get a Santon Premier Plus, or a Stelflow. All pipe work will need altering as the Vaillant cylinder is a short dumpy type. The heating will...

Okay with no pressure in boiler circuit and tap side of the tank (i.e. taps run dry), open system isolation main valves, but kept filling loop valve closed and pressure builds on the boiler guage! It builds slowly to 3.5 bar! Taps run again and boiler circuit is full with safety valve working...

Okay fellas, I'll do some checking and report back.

I thought this, but the fitting instructions state pressurise to 3.5 bar. I could lower it to 2 bar and see if that lowers it I guess, worth a try.
