Thanks guys. I have turned the boiler down a smidge and left the power off for an hour. There has been no f code in the last 8 hours! Keep your fingers crossed, and many thanks

I rebooted the boiler.... it seems to run fine for a couple of hours, and then gives the f26 code

I get both. I have a new motorised valve that I could fit if needed.... but the old one still seemed ok.

I can do, but I would have liked to hear experience from someone on here! I expect my plumber will not no the cause of the issue.... and will guess at trapped air, or just keep charging me to replace thermistors, and other bits. I’m not in very good health, and hoped someone on here might give...

As it was at the top of the system, there was very little water- so the plumber did not drain the system down.

Two way port valve that is underneath a motorised head. The valve stuck open a bit and constantly called for hot water, so it was swapped out. (Copper valve? I hope this describes it properly !! Thanks

Hello?

Sorry to trouble you all. Replaced the copper valve under the motorised head yesterday - but the Glow-Worm hxi 38 boiler now gives an F26 code after a couple of hours. Bled all the rads and no air in them. the code book mentions return temperature thermistor- but it seems very coincidental that...

They are led lamps

Thanks for the advice. Can the dimmer switch be making the fuse box tick?

It just does it for the three wall lights that are wired together. Can turn on everything else, but no ticking in the fuse box, until I turn on wall lights. They are connected to a two gang two way switch in one room (dimmer which doesn't work well) and a single switch at the other end. The...

He hasn't finished the job yet to leave a cert. I've used him on many jobs before. Any idea of the ticking noise in the fuse box please?

Hi all. I have ticking coming from one of the trip switches in my fuse box ! I have just finished an extension where the sparky "tagged on" a few led lights to the upstairs lighting circuit. By a process of elimination (turning everything on and off) I have isolated the ticking in the fuse trip...

Hi everyone Looking to screed a 5m x 5m floor, which will be tiled on. Are there any additives which we can add whilst we're knocking up to speed up the drying time please? If anyone has experience, please reply!!! I've read that ronascreed 8 is an additive that allows you to rule 8 days after...

Hi all, I'm in Haddenham Bucks (between Aylesbury and Oxford) and I'm hoping to find a renderer for my two storey extension. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks, Spike

Thanks for the reply buddy. I meant to say that the "paint" top coat has a rubber texture to it. I now realise that it must be a silicone paint of some type - my neighbors led me to believe the rendering was all sprayed on in one go and not painted. I guess it must be sand cement, Tyrolean type...

Hi everyone. My extension is plodding along, but I am concerned about matching the render. I am hoping the plasterer can sand and cement base, and then put on a cream tinted silicone type of Tyrolean (or whatever it's called these days!). The existing render top coat (2007ish) has a silicone...
