    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    It's a Baxi 30HE. Max DHW changes nothing (I've tried it on max, mid, low) the problem remains on the bad shower. The temp hits the 70 led really quickly before the flame goes out, we then have to turn the knob on the shower to max hot, wait until it's scalding then have a few seconds at the...

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    It was just under 3.5 litres in 30 seconds, around 3.4, so is that 6.8 LPM?

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I drew a line on the bucket, anyway, on a reduced flow the rainfall does indeed do the same thing. So, is this definitely a boiler issue? Thank you again for your help.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    Will try that shortly, house is a bit mental at the minute, the teenagers have returned. So, I'll do the bucket test I did yesterday then adjust the rainfall shower to match the other and see what happens.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    Apologies, just done it again, with WD-40 and grips and without my wife(!) and the water does not run when it's isolated on the boiler, I obviously hadn't turned it enough from fear of breaking it.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I turned both off (one then the other) but the one on the boiler was super stiff to the point where I thought I was going to break the plastic handle thing on it. The culprit being the diverter valve? How is the rainfall shower still working good? I reckon we need a new boiler at this point.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I turned off the water to the boiler (I'll attach a pic, I turned the off where the silver flexi-hose is) and the shower continued to run.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I messed up the multi quote. I have hopefully fixed the leak. It was like a sauna up the loft, horrible. Many, massive thanks lads, I will try your suggestions tomorrow when it's a little cooler up there. Will report back.

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I have limited knowledge of what I'm looking for there, BUT a new development has occurred - Combi is a Baxi Combi HE30, all major parts replaced last year by Baxi. Anyway it's bloody lucky I was doing the hot water temp test because on entering the loft I saw we had a mother of all leaks...

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    I'll go do the max temperature on the combi shortly and I really appreciate that incredibly detailed reply. I'll also try and get the combi details (it's in the loft so a little annoying sometimes). One thing I forgot to mention, there's a definite audible change from the shower when the...

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Did the measure and the rainfall shower was roughly twice as much as the hose/head/problem shower. But could this be because the rainfall shower fitting is at least twice the size? Combi was set by the Baxi engineer who maintained it, it's over half way on the temp...

    Shower Runs Hot and Cold....

    Hi all, I have searched this issue but it seems unique. I have an Aurlane shower fed by the combi, combi has had a complete overhaul and this problem was around before and after the combi work. The boiler fires up fine and stays constant when the shower is used. I have changed the cartridge...

    2 Gang 2 Way With Pictures *help please!*

    Using bullet points is like poking me in my chest from behind a computer screen :) Here is the way it is with me, rightly or wrongly I jump in because jumping in means I get it done, if I don't jump in I will make an excuse to not do it and once it is started it will eventually get done. Also...

    I know, I know. I am going there today in a calmer frame of mind and I am going to do it properly and find the permanent live and take it from there. I was trying last night after a bad day in failing light so..... Bear with me please and I'm sorry. Edit - I have also ordered a Fluke...

    2 Gang 2 Way With Pictures *help please!*

    I have a multimeter which also has continuity testing on it. I am learning how it works by asking on this forum which I thought was a DIY forum (Do It Yourself?), I aren't actually doing anything that anyone else can't attempt, I aren't installing a new circuit etc so why would I get an...

    2 Gang 2 Way With Pictures *help please!*

    Hi, I have followed your instructions to the letter but no joy :( The seperate switch at the other end of the hall works the light fine and the porch light works but turns on when the switch is up (off position), the hall light doesn't work at all from the 2 gang switch. Problem in my head...

    Brilliant, thank you once again. Sorry for my dumbness, but if I don't ask...... Still haven't got around to doing it today, had crap news regarding mum so other things were dealt with first, may try after tea tonight.

    2 Gang 2 Way With Pictures *help please!*

    Yes I understand that but if you were in my situation with what I have going on and you wanted to get something done before someone you love dearly comes home then maybe just maybe you wouldn't think clearly either. Not everyone who asks questions on here is an imbecile my friend, I messed up...

    2 Gang 2 Way With Pictures *help please!*

    Ha! Thank you, it's easy to see why I thought that though......isn't it? I think to be double sure I might just lick the wires to test them :D Thanks again and wish me luck.
