I have a Ravenheat combi boiler - not sure of the model number, but can dig it out later if relevant.
A few issues which may, or may not be related...
Ever since we had it installed there has been quite a long "lag" between turning on a hot tap and any hot water coming through (although the boiler would fire up after only a couple of seconds) - sometimes up to a minute or so. I tried turning down / up the water temperature, but it made no odds.
Then, in the last few months it's got a lot worse, so much so that unless I switch the central heating on, no hot water will come out upstairs, and even in the kitchen, switching the hot tap on only seems to fire the boiler up intermittently.
Finally, in the last few weeks, pipes leading from the hallway up throught the floor into our bedroom have started knocking really loudly whenever the central heating starts up or shuts down. It's got so loud it's waking the baby every time, and frankly I get little enough sleep as it is!
Please, can anyone help?
