Last year loads of you helped me out and i'm asking for your help again! :) My open vented 5 radiator central heating system is suffering from sludge...apparently! :? I am ready to have a go at cleansing it, flushing through and then refilling it with new water & inhibitor but the...

i accquired a pcb in my quest for fixing my heating a week or so ago (not yet fitted)... only cost me a £10.00 off ebay.... so hopefully that will do the job...which will be a result! :D Is there a permanent live on this thing i.e. am i likely to do myself a mischief when i replace the board...

ahhhh!! i think i may have found the problem!! there are numerous wires that go into the control panel and i have found that when the boiler cuts out (in it's annoying way after about 5/10 mins) that if i give one of these wires (big black thick one that appears to feed onto the control board...

yep, lovely blue flames through spy hole! all i have done with pump so far is whack it as my selection of screwdrivers wont shift the bit in the middle... although i will have another go when i have got a better tool for the job! there are pipes everywhere ... i'm sorry but i dont have...

no mention has been made of a bleed screw anywhere...what does that do? i can stand for a couple of hours holding onto any pipe i fancy no matter how high the boiler temp knob is turned up! although when i did 1st put the new 3 port valve head on things did hot up when i set the control...

i have bled the rads, i'm getting water out of them - this is with the whole system turned off, so i assume thats 'ok'. "If instructed how to test the pump speed do you have the competence to test ? and are you able to clean out your system?" Pump test - i dont know, but i'll give it a go...

ok, ok, you are all losing me here! i'm getting confused! :? I took a chance & bought a new motor for the 3 port valve and fixed that in yesterday... resulting in guess what....'no change'! i have also got hold of what i thought was a pcb for my Baxi Solo 2 ... but i now realise it is...

ahh, orr err! i dont feel any resistance on the 3 port valve, but even if that is fixed, i assume that will not fix the water temp, i shall have to have a go at both i think. i can feel the pump vibrating very slightly, but as the boiler is having one of its funny turns at the moment, i cant...

I am far from being an expert on such matters but i know something isn't right with my CH system and I can't face another winter wrapped up in 14 layers of clothes! :( I have had my Baxi Solo 2 boiler serviced ever year since I had it installed approx 8 yrs ago, including last year when my...
