D_Hailsham and cso30, Thanks for your replies. D_Hailsham, thanks for confirming the size of wires. Yep, a 3 amp fused spur protects the lot. Cso30, thanks for your thoughts. Just to clarify what I wrote yesterday, the original problems were sorted by replacing the timer and cylinder...

Hi D_Hailsham Sorry I didn't reply to this... I didn't get a notification in my email inbox so didn't realise that anyone other than Gavinda had replied. Well, if anyone should care, the timer was replaced (so the hot water wasn't on constantly anymore) and the cylinder stat also. I think...

heehee. Thanks for that. Regardless of the plumber, is it obvious why the three way valve would behave like this? SullyTheGoldfish

Hi We're building an extension and have had a new boiler fitted but getting the heating system back to normal is posing a few problems. The system is a Y plan one with Honeywell contols bits and the new boiler is a Rehema Avanta condensing one. For some reason the hot water is always on (ie...

Thanks for the replies! I just want to use the loft for storage so the only walking around I envisage is to find/put things in the hard to reach areas. are 3" joists too small for this kind of use? How much extra would it be sensible to put on? Is it hard to do? Thanks again Andy

Hi I've just moved house and and thinking about what to to with the loft. I want to board the loft with chipboard kindly left by the previous owner - they not secured down so I want to screw them into the joists. The joists are about 7cm in height and have 42cm centre to centre. In the...

Hi all, Please can someone tell me what I ought to do... In a perfect moment of stupidity while cleaning my cooker, I thought it would be a great idea to make sure that the nozzles of my gas hobs weren't blocked so I stuck a wooden skewer into one and wiggled it about. Unfortunately the...

Hmmm, I tried it. Maybe not such a brilliant idea - told me exactly nothing. Back to uncheered. :(

Hi All Thanks for your replies - yet more poeple telling me it's the PCB! Here's an idea: if it's the PCB then there should be cracked joints in the solder, right? So presumably an inspection of the PCB should tell me the answer quite quickly. Doh! why didn't I think of this before...

Thanks everyone for your answers. I see that the PCB is going to be everyones suggestion. After a little searching it's clear that the PCB's come up again and again. Originally my second plumber suggested it would be the PCB until he realised that the Boilermate was responsible for...

trooperman, did you get this sorted? if it's a boilermate II i can tell you what the different PCBs do. Andy

Hi all If anyone has anything ideas about this i'd be grateful, before I spend out more money... thanks. For almost 8 months I've had a intermittant problem with my central heating (potterton suprima 30 and boilermate II) as almost everyday the potterton has gone into lockout (red...
