BG back. 1. Swapped the 'potentially' dodgy 3-way motor to no avail. 2. Took out main PCB and low and behold there was a tell-tale brown mark 3. Replaced PCB and all systems go! 4. Put my Ebay motor back in and still all systems go! So it was the PCB after all. He said we had a good...

The independent engineer was recommended to me so I don't know much about him. When I asked if the new motor was working he said he did not know - not exactly professional? He left the job saying he'd call in a friend who is a Glow Work specialist but neither has been in touch and he is not...

Tony, He did not replace anything today but he checked the other guy had installed my new bits correctly. Suppose the valve could have been snagged or something. I think it was OK but he never said. Mike PS The creaking noise is from the Gas Control unit. It is worth getting a competent...

1. No problems with engineer - very efficient and businesslike but pleasant. 2. Started with replacement actuator and diverter valve to ensure these were installed correctly. 3. Demonstrated that old motor had WATER in it - explaining blown fuse. 4. Discovered replacement actuator produced...

Have taken both offers of advice and have booked BG tomorrow morning. For those who are interested I have paid £189 in advance which covers me for up to 2 hours (80% of jobs apparently). If they fix it in 30 minutes I will receive a refund of £120, so £69. If it is longer then it rises to a...

I suppose it is more a creaking noise - like springs being compressed - guess the water pressure in the diverter could push the springs back until they resist? Finding a competent heating engineer who does not charge the earth is a nightmare. Found one on the net who charges £60 plus VAT per...

Heating engineer never turned up so I shorted 1/2 on J10 and it made no difference but disconnecting the diverter motor connection was interesting. The chuffing noise that I took to be diverter vault movement was still there so is it something to do with the gas control valve or the heat...

New member here. I had no hot water but the boiler fired up when a tap was opened. The central heating was working perfectly. The 3amp fuse blew overnight which suggested an electrical fault so I replaced the 3-way motor and the diverter valve. Now I have perfect hot water and the boiler...
