Is the new stat the same frequency as the old scr cos they changed the frequency at some stage.

Hi. I'm looking to replace a Potterton system boiler. It's an 'Ultra D.V.' It's got a honeywell diverter valve inside the boiler (hence the name D.V. I guess! DUH!) . I don't want to change all the pipework as it's buried in a concrete floor in a flat and there's a megflo in the airing...

Yes they were taking the **** and should have spotted the problem. i don't see how it could effect her plan but I'd be looking for some money from BG for a problem they should have spotted and fixed.

You can often buy a new front for these programmers from a plumbers merchant/heating spares place. The lack of independant control maybe something as simple as a dip switch on rear of programmer or maybe you.ve got an old system that can't run independantly.

Gas, I.ve got a customers boiler doing the same thing, an Ideal Elan 2. Just makes noise on hot water. No air from bleed point so I think maybe the heat x is just scaled up. What do u think?

Some are adjustable to give different flush quantities such as the dudley duo flush syphon. Remember the old saying 'if all else fails, read the instructions'

Have you considered fitting a cabinet with concealed cistern and a back to wall (or cabinet!) toilet. Sometimes this saves moving the poo pipe.

How do u check it then Gas?

You can buy a pressure gauge which screws onto an outside tap or theres another type which pushes onto a kitchen sink tap. Cost about 15 quid. Go to plumbing merchant as the diy shops don't have em.

You can buy these programmers from Travic Perkins for about £30 branded under a different name but exactly the same unit. It sounds like this unit was never installed correctly in the first place.

Yeah its more expensive but if installed right will be a pucka job. Most plastic stuff I've seen installed has been lashed in.

Another problem with plastic is the restriction in the flow caused by pipe inserts. Copper has stood the test of time! :wink:

Why not fit the DT20 RF kit. Plug the programmer into front of boiler. Screw digistat to wall. Comission. Finish. Takes about 15 minutes. Costs about £110

I don't suppose your in Ascot are you Mikeuns? I went to a job just like this several months ago. At first we changed the valve as electrically it wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing. The boiler still wouln't work properly so I spoke to technical, followed their advice and one of...

Call Gledhill in the morning and ask for technical dept. They ought to help you, after all its not gas.

Hi Gas, why don't you like the Glow Worm boilers?

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Corgi do them

Sounds dodgy to me. I would be only to pleased to flash someone my credentials to reassure them and help get the job. If you do get a number from him then you can verify it by calling Corgi customer services.

I'm just a bit concerned cos if you try turning adjustment screws and dont set the boiler to the right pressure it leads to incorrect combustion, carbon monoxide, death and destruction. :cry:

If you've gotta ask a question like that then it sounds like your not Corgi. Could be a slightly blocked injector of pilot tube. Poor gas pressure. Best left to someone with the right knowledge and equipment.
