F5 is Fixed!! Warranty Boiler engineer came out under warranty. The small square flappy thing sits on a rubber seal. Over time, this rubber seal sweats and becomes sticky with use. When the flap rests on it for a time when the boiler is off, it sticks to the sticky seal! The fan cannot...

Sounds like it could be, whats the fix? I did mention about flappy after looking at these forums yesterday but he said that there was nothing to indicate any serviceable parts inside the case bit and taking the cover off would mean replacing the gasket which he didnt have on him? Edit...

If its a sticking flap, what is causing it to stick?? Gunk? If so, would a hoover do the job?

Morning Gents, I have F5 on my boiler this morning too. I had a boiler engineer look at it yesterday and he said its a viesmann call out job. Still trying to get through to them, engaged tone, since 8am. The boiler is 2.5 years old, will they come out at all?

I have a similar situation in my loft. Boarded, insulated though, and have space where I could potentiall put some non compliant stairs. However, headroom is not great. 1.92m from ceiling joists to ridgeboard. Despite that though, its a great space (19tf x 10ft) and seems such a shame if it...

Thanks for the comments Gents. Lever ones could be used for hot and normal ones for cold by the sounds of it. In theory the shower should be savvy enough to control the pressure and maintain temperature, why else would you buy a Mira Excel at £370! Interesting debate though, thanks...

Thanks for that Chris. I guess you mean if for example someone flushes the toilet it wont take all the pressure away from my shower?

Morning Gentlemen, When I install my shower, MIRA Excel running from a Combi, will service valves reduce the flow rate significantly? Are there special isolator/service valves that dont ? Regards Andy

Sounds definitely like a driver fault, though not had a driver fault do a BSOD on me before. Sure you downloaded the right one??

Yes what you have said initially should work. Assuming the USB Caddy has the same interface. I.e. IDE/SATA

A lot of chat and not much common sense. With regards to tiling before or after, you can always fit the sanitaryware and leave a 10mm spacer gap. This way, you can get on with tiling and still have your facilities available to use. When it comes to tiling around the basin/toilet. Just...

Yes no doubt it probably will get up into the loft. But when my cupboard are in and the insulation is platerboarded those small amounts should vent out of the velux window vents or be dispersed around. Where I've partially celotexed it, theres a nice easy path for the air to flow up into the...

Are you losing it Graham, you posted this the other day too.....? //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=107057

Cheers Deluks but I'll just go for the safer extension lead option I think. Moderator can this be pinned as virtually everyday a post comes on here regarding loft boarding for space only and there is some useful stuff in here. There isnt much in the wiki either.

Realised what was going on. If I leave the loft hatch open for a couple of hours whilst I'm working up in the loft, the warm air from the house condenses in the air gap between the felt and the celotex. PROBLEM SOLVED. Close loft hatch whilst working!

Hi Deluks! No the insulation is not down to the eaves so I would have though there was sufficient airflow there now. There is a cover of sorts on the cold water tank but a partial one only on the central heating one. Its very strange indeed. Its spooked me a bit!

I think you're right. I've decided not to go for a proper because to have any real benefit to me and the house i'd have to spend a fortune. I can do a board job, without electrics apart from lights (extension leads screwed to wall), make a new opening in airing cupboard, and make some new...

Not sure you want to build the joists up to 10 inches? Why dont you just lay it between the the existing joists and have it proud?

Whilst I was up in my loft last night I noticed a lot of condensation on the roof side of the celotex insulation. So much that it had been dripping, onto the floor from where I have only partially insulated it halfway down to the eaves cupboards. Initially I thought this was a leak, but then...

Yeah you could be right thanks mate. I mean low ceiling height is only an issue when you're walking from a to b. When you're in bed, watching telly or sat down a lowish ceiling is not a problem I would say. My only option with regards to the stairs is to effectively reduce the ceiling in one...
