I have heard good things about Howdens & Ikea funnily enough. Negative reviews for B&Q, Wickes.

Hi again my friend ! When youi wrote : disconnect water supply 3 wires L, E, N Is L,E,N the order in which they are in the shower ? Thanks !

Is that behind the attached sticker thing ?

I will give it a go and see what happens. Is the water inlet easy to remove ? Im a bit worried about a leak especially with electrics. Is it on the right ? :roll:

So if I unscrew the 3 screws up the top on the brass plate that will release the 3 wires ? Thanks very much

Thanks very much ! Top bloke. Below is a link to the engine. http://www.showerdoc.com/GNS-20101080-8-5kW-Replacement-Shower-Engine If you move the cursor over the engine it enlarges. Is it the green/yellow wire, and the two black ones in the middle I remove ? Thanks again.

Thanks for your advice. Im not stupid but im not great at DIY. So obviously I would turn the water and electric off. Take cover off, take the engine off. But before taking the engine off do I have to disconnet 2 wires and piping ? Can you tell me what will be going in to the new engine...

Hi I was told by Gainsborough that is the water pressure drops below 1 bar then a switch inside the shower shuts down the heat element ? Im sure my shower is in someway connected to my boiler as I had a new glow worm put in 18 months ago in my loft and they guy said he would run the water...

Hi My shower stopped producing hot water when the water pressure dropped below 1 bar. I have since increased the water pressure to 2 bar. (As well as the boiler wouldnt work so not hot water from rads and taps, now it is all fine). My shower though still produces cold water. I have a...

Thanks. According to the Gainsborough website if the water pressure drops below 1 bar, which is did then : Is there sufficient water pressure? The minimum working pressure required is approximately 1 bar at 8 litres per minute. If you have enough pressure the small white plunger between the...

Hi yesterday my boiler wouldnt work, so not hot water etc plus my electric shower wouldnt produce hot water. I checked the boiler and found the pressure was below 1 bar. I have fixed that problem, boiler working fine now. BUT my Gainsborough 8.5 SCL is not producing hot water just cold. I...

Thanks for your help.

Hi I have a Gainsborough shower and at present water is flowing from underneath the shower. I have removed the cover and its not from the water pipe its coming from the outlet pipe or PRD. I have rang Gainsborough and they said you cannot use a hose or shower head from any other company...

Thanks for your reply. Is my powermax 155 a combi boiler ? Theres a small tank of cold water in the loft, also on the face of the boiler I cant see a power gauge ? Does that make sense ? What KW would you suggest ? That price was from Ebay, but a shop. I rang them up. I guess just a...

Hi I am having a new boiler put in. Currently have a powermax 155 and its done for. Ive had a few quotes on different boilers inc Worcester Bosch, Glow Worm and Baxi Duo-Tec. Baxi was £2k which inc ripping old one out etc etc. The Glow worm quote was £900 was seemed very cheap. Can...
