Hi all, my first post but a long time user
I've read the sticky so here goes...
1) Boiler make / model (gas or oil)
Gas, Myson Orion (50 - i think)
2) What is / is not happening.
Boiler knocking when in use and the stat is turned up past '2'.
3) Has ANYTHING else been done or changed recently.
Called in a local plumber regarding a different issue but he mentioned using washing up liquid, tried that and it worked for a few weeks!
4) When did the problem start?
We moved in 12 months ago, its been doing it since about March but only when the stat is turned up past '2'.
5) When does it happen? eg, heating coming on or going off.
Within a few minutes of the boiler firing up.
6) Anything else you feel may be of relevance.
Oh yes...the previous owners were DIY fanatics so i don't trust all the joints to be able to resist the Fernox DS40 treatment. Pipework to rads is only 10mm but they all heat up fine. I flushed the system out 6 months ago using just water.
Oh, and the boiler sites in a brand new fitted kitchen so replacing it with something more modern is to really possible.
Would you recommend the Fernox Restorer as opposed to the DS40, I don't want to end up with leaky joints....
Thanks in advance
Si
