Hi Guys, hope someone can help advise me. 6 months ago I replaced our Grondfos UPS2 central heating pump with a new Grondfos UPS3 after the old pump died after a decade of service. It was a simple unbolt and replace job - didn't change any plumbing. All I did beforehand was clean and flush the...

Just an update (in case it helps others): I changed my central heating pump for a cheap https://www.screwfix.com/p/grundfos-ups3-15-50-65-domestic-heating-circulator-230v/503fh it was a pretty easy DIY job, would have been easier if the gate valves shut off properly (had to drain down the...

lol - yes a 10 year old laptop practically a classic :-) With laptops, phones tablets etc there always built in obsolescence. Problem is the software gets updated and is designed for the latest and greatest, so when you run the new software on an old system it struggles. You can spend money...

Sorry, i had just edited my previous response 'holding the shaft of the screw driver between finger and thumb' - I'm an average sized 6ft bloke. I'm not a proper engineer (Software Engineer- but still inquisative as to how things work) :) Yes the speed setting is on #3 And thanks for your...

Little update, because I'm a curious soul (and an engineer) I tested the torque of the motor and it seems pretty weak - obviously i have nothing to compare with but... From stand still (motor off) i can easily hold the motor by gripping the shaft of the screw driver between my finger and thumb...

So it could still be the pump? As you rightly say i have no reference to know if the torque feels ok or not. It is 8 years old so might have reached end of life? I suppose I can take a punt and replace the pump (Grundfos 15-50(130) @ ~£200) or get in a pro and if they diagnose the pump and...

Hi Guys, Hoping someone out there can help a DIYer with some ideas as I'd like to rule out any simple things first before calling in an expert. So I have a Glow worm flexicom 24hx with an intermittent Error F25 error. I read that this indicates low pressure / poor circulation. It is on an old...

I fixed it! Well kind of, I took the I.T. professionals approach and unplugged it then plugged it back in and it seems to have reset itself? Dunno how long for though mind, fingers crossed :-)

Like the title says it seems to be stuck in drain mode. No matter what you do with the dial you can hear the pump trying to suck the water out, if i pour water into the machine it is pumped out okay. just wont do anything else. The model number is Whirlpool generation 2000+ G2P DWS, I'll...

Thanks for your help Richard, you've confirmed all my suspiscions.

Okay fair enough. Basically the old power shower died so I'm replacing it with a mixer shower and seperate pump as I think it'll look neater than a plastic box on the wall. The pipe with isolating valve you saw was supplying the old power shower which is now removed. My original question...

I want to fit a salamander rsp50 to my existing system but reading through the instructions I'm not sure it's going to be as straight forward as i'd have hoped :-( The instructions say my tank should have either a no stop essex flange, warrix flange, york flange (if less than 20l per min) or...

The shower hose is fine :-(

I have a newteam xt1000 power shower and recently it has developed a starting fault. When it's switched on the motor runs but no water's coming out (the pump is running dry) however if i take the shower head and hold it down low the water starts to run and then flows as normal for the rest of...

It could well be the right part, but I've already tried buying one I thought may fit and it didn't wasting £20. I could try this one but then I'd be down another £30 if it's not the right part. If anyone here has a belling cooker that is of the dimensions previously mentioned (35cm x 44cm)...

Finally got a reply from their customer services, very helpful - not. See below: Thank you for your email to Customer Support. Spare parts are normally available directly from us. Sadly we are not able to proceed with your query as we cannot locate a part without a 9 digit model number...

Thanks, I sent them an e mail. I'll see what happens?

Hi There, Moved into a new house and the ovens door seal has broken. Problem is I cannot identify the model number of the cooker so can't really order the part I need :-( I tried a universal seal it was naff and lasted 5 minutes and i took a punt on one that looked right but wasn't and ended...

I had the same prob on my old boiler (previous house) it was caused by dry joints on the back of the pcb (especially the relay). I fixed it myself by removing the pcb and reflowing the suspect joints.

I'll turn the temp up later and see what happens.
