Who`s to say a new boiler when fitted will go in the same spot?

As you have been told,the cover is part of the combustion chamber.No GSR on here will tell you how to remove it,you need to get a GSR heating engineer or plumber to do it.

Keep the boiler as long as you can but get it properly serviced regularly.As long as the few parts that are needed for it are available and you can afford the gas bills it should give you far less trouble than most condensing boilers.

BES.co.uk part no 0985 is what you need.

Some manufacturers supply a coil of sticky backed foam sealant strip,similar to the kind you can get for draught proofing(windows and doors)but usually denser.Stick it to the countertop at the edge of the hole,less messy and easier to remove hob in future.Try an ironmongers or DIY store.

When you shut off the gas valve it stops the gas right there,at that point.Yes there is still gas in the down pipe,but it`s not under pressure and as long as an appliance isn`t turned on or the gas carcass isn`t opened it will be fine(just like turning off your water mains). The article you...

I`ve found worcester jnr`s to be very reliable.

If you don`t know of any decent heating engineers in the area,then for your own and your mums peace of mind,put her on the yearly contract with WB.

It`s most likely to be fed from the floor,just take the oven out and look.If it fits now it will fit when you put the oven back in.Don`t worry about the 4 side screws not going back in,it`s not good practice but they often aren`t used at all. While you have the oven out,check that there is some...

It could be a few things,the ignition generator may be faulty or the electrode may be cracked or the ignition lead may have broken or slipped off the electrode lead.Sometimes it`s just a matter of repositioning the burner. If you have a small electrical screwdriver(the type which lights up when...

Firstly,the water in the small tank should be cold as well,therefore the c/h is pumping over back up into it,which is causing the overflow..It could be a number of things causing this,it may be simple to resolve it may not.I`m sure some of the more knowledgeable guys on here can advise you...

Hey psarinuk,you might be surprised at how many different things could be the cause of such a small fault. Get a torch and stick your head in the oven(with the oven turned off)and check the burner below the ignition electrode in case there is anything blocking it. If it wasn`t wax and it...

Possible scenario:- If she has been using a candle to occasionally light the oven,then that will be the problem. If wax has dripped onto the burner below the ignition electrode,it won`t light when cold,but will when warm as the wax will melt. It`s the most likely explanation for the hot/cold...

It`s a reg.

I don`t think I`ve ever seen a CO detector fitted on a ceiling before. The instructions usually say"fit on wall between 1.5m/2m high and 1.5m/2m away from appliance",or something similar. I always try if possible to have them fitted on opposite wall to the appliance(depending on room size) and...

As a general rule of thumb,if a hob has an oven fitted below it,it requires to be fitted with rigid pipework.If it just has drawers or a cupboard it can be fitted with a bayonet connection. But manufacturers instructions always take precedence.

There`s no real difference on the heating side between a combi and a system boiler,it`s all on the H/W side. Install a Condensing "system" boiler(not a combi),this should in theory just be a straight swap,with a few tweaks here and there.

At the very least the system should have had cleanser added after the new boiler was installed,the system and ALL radiators allowed to heat up fully,then flushed properly before inhibitor was added.This would normally take an hour or so at least. I would also be concerned whether he has...
