Thanks both! I’m in Kettering, Northants. I’m guessing that this kind of installation will require an installer with a good level of familiarity with the Intergas system and will likely be beyond folk who regularly fit Baxis (or anything non-Intergas)? Razor - as you work for Intergas, can...

Thanks smuggles - although now I’m a little confused. I had assumed that the “Combi Compact ECO RF 24” was a combi boiler and if it is, how would that work with a tank? Also, isn’t there more to go wrong with a combi over a system boiler? I’ll read up on hot water priority bit - but it sounds...

Sorry - We’ve decided to go for a loft installation now and there is plenty of room up there, so space isn’t a problem any longer… Should have mentioned that before!

Fair comment - we’re an active bunch and often need showers after running and other activities…!

thanks Razor900! We do have good pressure coming into the house. Family of 5 with multiple showers and sometimes baths running in the morning and evening. Are you saying that a 170L cylinder is too big? Any thoughts on the Jet series of cylinders?

Apologies for the thread resurrection. The old Worcester stumbled on until very recently and its now very much dying a slow and painful death. I’ve had a quote in from a local chap I like and he recommended a Baxi Megaflo 24 paired with a Jet 170L unvented tank (Jet is made by the same...

thanks all. The baxi calculator says I need 39.2kW (feels a bit high!) I've never heard of intergas or joule! We've had Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Ideal and Vaillant boilers in the past - mostly combi's - never had a unvented cylinder before. I've been surfing about and have found folk talking...

Hello All, We have an old Worcester 280 combi that I think dates back to around 1995. It broke down not long after we moved in (2005) and we called a worcester engineer out who, after plying with tea and biscuits, replaced more components in it than he should have. The result has been that...

Yes, fitted the right way around (same way the old ones came out). I did notice when i took them out for a look that the area of contact is quite small (maybe a slightly different profile on the pattern parts) and one of them seemed to have picked up more wear than the other - so i made sure...

I'm having more of the same with the new brushes fitted. I sourced some replacement brushes from an online shop. They appeared to be very similar to the originals I took out of the machine (only longer :) ), fitted them and bolted it all back together. We stuck a very light, quick wash on...

Awesome - Thanks again Zipper! I managed to get the machine apart and the brush assembly out. Brushes do look quite short compared to photos of the spare ones I can see on ebay. Lots of carbon dust in the assembly. Anyway, I cleaned it all up and cleaned the commutator - put it all back...

Thanks Zipper! Is this potentially a DIY job? I'm fairly handy with a screwdriver (I'm a computer engineer) but I've got no idea how the thing comes apart to get at the motor. Cheers

W504, rinse light flashes and the drum seems to be struggling to turn. It does have a heavy load of towels in it at the moment. This happened first last night so I drained and emptied the machine and then stuck it on a rinse. Seemed it run through that fine. Today, I put half of last nights...

well, it looks kind of unfinished - like its just undercoat. I've been using a purdys brush and have been rollering my doors (totally flat - no panels). The roller hasnrt worked very well either - lots of flat spots. And this is after multiple coats of the stuff. I think another problem for...

...and it looks terrible. The wife says I have to do it all again...arrgghhhh! I stripped and primed all my woodwork with leyland acrylic primer/undercoat and then used johnstones acrylic satin as a top coat. Lots of coats of both the undercoat and the top and it still looks crap. I do like...

Hi There I have a Worcester 280 and I drained my system down last week to remove a couple of rads while I was decorating. I refilled the system and all was fine until yesterday when the heating stopped working (hot water still works). The pressure in the system appears to be fine. The boiler...
