Gareth, A good engineer with a multimeter does not necessarily need to know the Glow worms inside out although does help. There are so many different boilers around that you do have to ring technical lines sometimes to help diagnose faults I.e getting resistance values for components and such...

With you on that one. Make sure you got plenty of tea on the go. Although you might be lucky and get through straight away, has happened once or twice :)

Never come across the pressure sensor fault, used to go to 30ci for breakdowns reg on contract firm I worked for but that was mainly due to them not being flushed before installed!!!! Have changed half dozen boards on the ci and cxi and they've all had the fan pulsating and screen flashing...

I expect the main issue is that there are alot of chancers on here (not saying you are one btw) that will go and then do the work themselves when ONLY that type of work should be carried out by a registered gas engineer. In essence taking not only money from the hard working honest...

Well I'm still inclined to say its the board. Especially as the fan was pulsating and screen flashing. In my limited experience of the cxi and ci's that alone has indicated the board. Sorry cant help anymore.

Dont want to upset anyone but there is a fuse on the pcb. Would have presumed it was checked whilst checking for power at the board.

Easyflow Dont mean to be ignorant but what did you mean about the forum rules?

Would be interested to see how you get on. Let us know.

Yep would def say it sounds like PCB has had it. Worked on a few GW 30ci and cxi where fan pulsates and display flashing where board has gone. If engineer has checked power to PCB and showing these symptoms then should all be up and running on Monday......think the other test from memory on the...

Def blown about a metre by mwtre patch. You can hear it whilst knocking sounds a little hollow if you like. Wouldnt be my thing but is it fairly simple to knock blown patch out and render then skim?? Or better to remove a bigger section...wouldnt attempt skim etc. Myself. Get a pro in.

Totally agree with you but its more the blown plaster thast annoying me as it sent hairline cracks off like a spiders web, and bellying out above rad.

Presumably though if plasters blown in front room then if badly prepped it could obviously blow elsewhere..... I'd be prepared to rip wall back to bare bones if it would mean sorting all the niggly bits like the cracking, although that would mean some fairly largish walls. I know a couple...

Hi all, Our house was built in 1900 ish and was totally replastered before we moved in by previous owner. For the last couple of years small hairline cracks appearing on alot of walls and today noticed i have alot of blown plaster on one of my living room walls as well. The wall behind is...
