Ok! Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. :D

Hi Kevplumb, Diverter valve stuck mid position.... What does that mean, and where would I find that? Is that something in the pump? Or is that not a good idea for me to be fiddling? Brrrrrr....

:arrow: Problem: cold or lukewarm radiators. :arrow: This maybe a problem but so far we are not bothered about it because we have hot water: Water is hot, in fact very hot at times, especially in the shower. I had some joy last week getting the radiators to react (I downloaded the manual...

Kevplumb - What the hell are you doing in Iraq!, although I guess they have massive plumbing problems at the moment. Those lucky people with water.... :D No, I'll stick to this site for help, and hopefully not wreck my floor with water damage. Ha Ha!!

What are you looking at? Where is that picture? Is it with the photos of the boiler and radiators... I can't see what I posted.... (behind firewall)....

Bahco, You are kidding right? :!: How are you going to do that if you are in Italy?

No tanks in the loft. I was in the loft on Sunday, and did not see anything up there other than a loft ladder, which was in pieces. I have linked photos to this body. As far as I can see, there is only a gas boiler...

Very true, but I don't know if the system is fouled. Ok, so fernox can be injected into bleed valve... That is a step closer for me. I will definitely get some from the local plumbing centre. (not B&Q). Thanks Kevplumb for your rapid reply.

I understand Pedanticvindictiveman. Stay clear of B&Q. I really meant to say my local plumber merchant... Ha Ha Ha.... because the do offer good advice unlike the tourist helper at B&Q, who should have known better than selling me the wrong stuff in the first place.... I curse those B&Q...

Powerflush! - Yes I have heard of that. But, who is to know if that is needed or not? I want to try this first, and if it does the job, then I have saved £250, towards my new boiler..... Which I want to get because I believe my boiler is not energy efficient. Yes, I do believe in calling in...

Bahco, Oh! yes, I think these rads are from another planet. (Ha Ha). I might just take a photo of them and put them on here tonight. To give you an idea of what I am talking about. You mean take the radiator off completely. Ok! :shock: - Is this a weekend job or something I can do...

Bahco: It's a combi boiler. The two chrome nuts you refer too... I don't see them at the top of the radiator, or on each side of the radiator. The radiator has two parts, and each has a bleed screw on the top right hand side. There is nothing on the left side. The male iron elbow (which I...

Hi, Have had a few problems with our radiators recently and someone suggested sludge blocking the pipes etc, because they do not warm up quick enough. Sometimes the rads take an hour or two to warm up. So I went and bought two bottles of Kilrock Central Heating Cleanser. The guy at B&Q...

Hi L-man, I have seen this thread... and do believe this is the answer. But! Have an Ocean 80-FF, and the wiring is not the same. But, I am going to have a look at it. I have opened my boiler cover and it's extremely dirty inside.... Perhaps will be calling in an expert.

Hi ChrisR, Thanks for your email. What is trv's? - (Do you mean the radiator thermostats?) You mentioned turn up the pump to setting three (Did you mean the pump or the boiler thermostat?) The pump is behind the boiler cover. The only way I know of turning up the boiler temperature is...

Hi All, My wife and I recently moved into our first home and enjoyed two weeks of hot water and warm to very hot radiators. We have an Ocean 80-FF Combi Boiler. It has a GRUNDFOS Super Selective pump UPS 15-60. Looking at the pump we have noticed there are 3 settings and at the moment the...

Hi, Do you think its practical to have a washing machine in the bathroom? Our bathroom is very large and there are electricty plugs. (Past owners had a tumble dryer in the bathroom). We would like to put a dishwasher in the place of the washing machine in the kitchen, as there is not enough...
