    My Programmer/stat is badged 'British Gas RC plus', talking to a Worcester Bosch 28CDi. LCD screen is knackered and I want to replace prog/stat.

    Shower pump outlet: expand to 22mm or keep it 15mm?

    I am installing a shower pump and rejigging pipework. Pump outlets are 15mm and mixer taps are 22mm. Is there any advantage in me fitting 22mm pipe over the 4m run or should I fit a 15mm run and expand it just before the mixer taps?

    Alpha Ocean not firing.

    Tried a mains-off-and-on and IT'S FIXED IT! Pity I'm too late to buy a lottery ticket - I feel very lucky tonight. Perhaps I should go on the pull...

    Alpha Ocean not firing.

    Hi, Alpha Ocean 240E won't fire on DHW or CH. I have amber warning light for 'Blocked flue or fan fault' coming ON whenever I demand DHW or CH. I'm working my way through fault finding flowchart: Turn selector to DHW. Power light comes on? YES Turn DHW stat to max and open DHW tap. DHW...

    DHW flow valve leak

    I have an Alpha Ocean 240E combi. Been good as gold 15 years. It's dribbling from where the plunger pops out of the DHW flow valve to operate the microswitch. Must I replace the whole valve or is there a tweak I can perform? I notice the plunger emerges from a hex-shaped head but I don't want to...

    Bypass pipe clips leaking on Alpha Ocean combi

    Hi Pablo, Had a good look behind boiler and also on diagram in the manual. Can't see any sign of a pipe from the expansion vessel teeing in to the bypass pipe. Am I missing the obvious? Cheers.

    Bypass pipe clips leaking on Alpha Ocean combi

    Cheers Nath & Pablo, I am intrigued as to why both O rings should leak simultaneously, not having done so before. It does look to be in a right fiddly place. It appears that I could shut the flow & return valves, leave the rads full and drain only the boiler. Does that sound right or must I...

    Bypass pipe clips leaking on Alpha Ocean combi

    Ends of bypass pipe linking CH flow to return on back of boiler are held by spring clips. I have dripping from both clips. System still ran although pressure was 0 Bar. Topped up to 1 Bar and is running fine. All rads getting hot, suggesting no blockage, so why would bypass pipe be in use...

    How to prep a glossed ceiling for matt?

    I want to matt-emulsion my ceiling but at present it is painted with HARD gloss paint with drips in places. Been using orbital sander but it stands off the hollows and leaves them unscoured. Rubbing it down is a long, horrible job. Have tried a heat gun at varying temperatures and distances but...

    Wiring centre - boiler switch live fallen out

    No. The pump live is clearly marked on boiler and that goes direct to pump via a JB, not through wiring centre.

    Wiring centre - boiler switch live fallen out

    A wire has fallen out of a terminal in a wiring centre I’m working on and I’m don’t know where it belongs. It is the ‘Switch Live’ leading to boiler. I was replacing the mid position valve so suspect it may share a terminal with a valve wire, can’t be certain. Diverter valve = Honeywell V4073...

    Mini immersion feeding wet underfloor heating.

    A badly-installed wet underfloor heating system is heated by a 3kW element in a tiny, foam-covered immersion tank no bigger than a thermos flask - no make/model visible. I need to move pump onto cool side as it has been heat-damaged. Can I orient the little immersion tank upright or must it stay...
