    Useful tools for painting window frames

    I'm in the process of painting the woodwork on my house, stained hardwood windows and 3 dormers. What tools do I need to make this an easier job than sanding by hand with a block - are detail sanders any use? thanks

    Ferroli boiler fault dignosis

    Many thanks. I have been told a few times its getting old - is this a sefety issue or an economic issue? I fitted the board with advice that nothing needs to be adjusted - I'm guessing that was incorrect information? Is there a way to work out if the temp/flow sensors are reading...

    Ferroli boiler fault dignosis

    I have a 10 year old Ferroli 701. The circuit board was replaced 9 months ago. The problem I have is the hot water cuts out momentarily at the taps while the demand light is still on. When watching the boiler flames after a minute or so, they appear to drop as if the gas valve is modulating for...

    Ferroli requires new PCB

    It's been on the way out for some time. The fan relay or some circuitry driving the relay is failing. I have now wedged the fan relay open so it runs all the time. If I don't do this I get some major arcing (buzzing) between the relay contacts which last a few minutes before melting. The fan...

    Ferroli requires new PCB

    Hi, I need to replace the PCB on my Ferroli Optimax 901. Is it a straight swap or does the new circuit board need to be tweaked or setup? Thanks Jeremy

    Ferroli boiler problems/general

    Thanks. Guess what. New fan relay didn't fix it and was just burnt out from arcing/buzzing caused by the fault. Its looking like a new board but what else can i test with a multimeter before spending £200 on a new PCB? If I wedge the fan relay closed with a bit of plastic, fan comes on, pressure...

    Ferroli boiler problems/general

    Hi, first post on this site! I have a ferroli optimax 901. Have had numerous problem with it over the years (over 10 years old now) mainly with dry joints on the PCB. The most recent problem is an expected faulty fan relay which is currently on order from Farnel (£4). I used to rely on plumbers...
