    Not happy with engineer's work, need second opinion

    I've made a few posts now over the past year about my boiler, but I'm at the point where it has broken yet again, and each time the problems are so similar, that I can't help but think the problem wasn't fixed properly in the first place. I don't want to upset the engineer however in case...

    baxi 80eco

    My problem has evolved, so I thought it best to start a new thread.... In a nutshell, when I turn on the CH, the sequence is as follows: pump comes on, fan comes on, something clicks, then flame comes on with orange light. After about 10 seconds or so, something clicks and flame goes out...

    when either the DHW or CH is running after a few minutes of continuous operation, the flame goes out (If it's CH, then the pump continues to operate). The flame then tries to kick in again, fails, tries again, fails a few more times, then woof, it fires up. Give it another 30 secs and off it...

    Adding a stat to baxi 80e

    I have a Baxi 80e with wireless Towerstat RF/BM. The Rx unit has died a death, and i'm going to put the old mechanical timer unit back in. Problem is there was no stat, which is why I replaced it with the Towerstat. I am going to buy a wired room stat, and whilst I am quite competent...
