Hello all, after a bit of advice.
My parents have just moved into a bungalow and there is something not right with the hot water. I didnt really have time to try and diagnose exactly what was going on but the basics are:-
Appear to get hot water from the kitchen tap (Close to combi boiler)
However in the bathroom the water never gets above luke-warm, but i noticed that the bathroom radiator got hot when running the tap.
The combi boiler is a baxi, and was apparently serviced a week before they bought the place.
I see two possible faults.
1. the diverter valve in the boiler (Would this have been checked as part of the service?)
2. There is some serious plumbing problem somewhere
Does (1) sound like the most likely culprit? Sorry i dont have more specific details, but was only there for a very short time.
