Hi all We have recently moved into a new house. THe boiler in it is a Ideal HE15. The problems are as follows: 1/ It is very noisy, as though there is a lot of air in the sysytem. Any clues how to cure this? 2/ The temperature of the hot water isn't high enough. It is very warm but...

Many thanks for your advice guys! If any of the plumbers on here from the North West are interested, please shout up! :lol: My email address is in my profile.

cheers for your advice chaps. One more question, when BG give a quote, is that set in stone or are they prepared to negotiate?

So the BG man came and sorted my problem. The valve was broke. Anyway, as I suspected the boiler is at least 15 years old, the system is full of sludge and the less said aboutthe wiring the better. (the word deathtrap was used). Hence, I need to think about a new system, the work will involve...

Oh and yes, apparently its not a 3 port thingy? It's the other one? It does have a lever on it tho'. What position should the lever be in? (the middle?)

Yes , the lever on the valve was moved and the rads heated up. However all was cold the following morning? A new motor was fixed so this can't be the problem! The pump and valve were about 2 foot away from the boiler, under the floor boards and under a kitchen cupboard which I had to take...

I posted last week about "hunt the PUMP." Anyway, to summarise, I have an "old" glow worm floor standing (cast iron" boiler. It is fully pumped etc. THe problem was as follows; 1/ When I moved in 4 months ago the wall thermostat had no effect on the temp. When heating was on, the place...

Where was yours ?

Its an old Glo worm boiler. There are 2 pipes connected. I have hot water, hence the valve is probably stuck ! The pump must be working.

OK Chaps My heating isn't working ! 3 people have been to my house (bungalow) to help and the problem lies with the pump/divertor valve. Only problem is, I (nor them) can find the bloody thing. It isn't in the following places; 1/ The loft 2/ Near the hot water tank 3/ Under the...

Not a tax inspector. They are the enemy, I work for the other side! Will be venturing up to the loft then ! Hope all you plumber guys have your CIS cards...............

thanks for your reply. Have you any idea what the problem could be tho'? My dad says that my system MUST have a pump and I should find it? As its a bungalow is it likely to be in the loft! Personally, I don't think there is a pump, but what do I know. What I do know is I'm freezing my...

Hi Chaps. Firstly I apologise for the terms I will be using in my query; 1/ My boiler is a glow-worm I believe. It looks quite an old thing and has probably been there since house(bungalow) was built about 1970. 2/ I moved in in July this year. I tested the heating and it worked fine. Too...
