I have had no end of problems with my britony combi boiler, and recently it has sprung another one on me. When it is fired up and heating there is what can only be described as a kettle type whistling coming from the boiler. It gets quite loud and high-pitched. It lasts a couple of minutes...

My sister has a problem with her Baxi Combi 80 Eco boiler. If she turns the hot water on the radiators all come on, at full temperature. This is even with the dial set to hot water only. The thermostat doesn't work either when she turns it down. It sounds similar to a 3way valve problem I...

I have now found the leak, well not 100% but i know a lot better. The metal casing I mentioned is leaking from within/underneath. THe water then drips down the drum and is shorting out contacts. It appears that one of the metal clips from the metal casing is missing and therefore water is coming...

I have just acquired a Zanussi washer dryer, i'd say it's between 5-10 years old. It has a slight leak on top of the drum, I can't exactly see the specific start location, but it is running down the drum and shorting out some contacts. In the approximate area there is the pipe which comes...

You're a true gentleman! Ha. Thanks for all the advice, i'll get onto it asap, prob tomorrow evening. At least the shower is electric, so we can wash up still! Thanks for advice about instruction booklets too, the britony one is rubbish!! ________________________________ lynda...

Cheers chrishutt. If i remember correctly, that part comes in two bits, and I fit the other half to it about 6 months ago, it was cracked. Remember thinking I was lucky because the side I replaced was the cheaper side. But I guess now i'll have to buy the more expensive bit. Is there any way...

http://www.gas-spares.co.uk/chaffoteaux.htm I have been searching to see if I can find a diverter valve. Is it the 3way 80/100 valve in the picture on the right? If somebody could please help it'd be much appreciated. ________________________________ lynda, moderator, please note form...

Woah, i was in no way not believing you, i was merely asking how it got contaminated water in it! I don't understand boilers so i'm bound to ask questions. How can i truely flush the pipes then, in order to make them clean? Also, what part is the diverter valve? Is it sometimes known as the...

So, how does my system have contaminated water then? It's been drained about 30 times over the last year, so if it's contaminated then it must be a dodgy filter or something (if boilers even have these) Thanks for the reply ________________________________ lynda, moderator, please note...

Oh yeah, thats true, think I read your post wrong, sorry mate! It may well be something completley different then.

It's a Brittony Combi 80 if that helps any. Where is this diverter valve? And, more importantly, how much will it cost me? lol Cheers for the speedy reply!!

Don't know if i'm allowed to answer questins here, but I always thought that problem was due to them needing to be bled? There is a screw, or bleed key nut at the top of the rad, unscrew it slightly and air wil hiss out, then eventually water will start to spit out. BUT BE WARNED...the water...

I have had loads of problems with my brittony comib boiler over the last year and a half. Changed the pump, changed a pressure switch thingy (can you tell i'm no plumber) and also had to replace a cracked part. Today when I was going to do the washing up i turned the tap on to get hot water...
