Suffice to say I'm in TS8 which is much better than a lot of the areas in the town.
We must have got the Biasi's with the knackered time clocks and the bonus screws in the Middlesbrough B&Q then.
Although I have found them with this problem in Hartlepool as well so maybe its just a North East thing.

Someone popped my window for a Sat Nav just round the corner from that in Lambton Road. It was actually just a cheap notepad that had a light and 2 minute voice recorder on it. It was just a £5 toy.
I was still laughing half an hour later when I was stringing in my spare quarter-light window. I was thinking that some poor smackhead will have been turkeying that night, unless of course that was the time they walked round the corner and got yours instead.

I wouldn't have expected you to wander this far up North. You must have been googling?

Hi Tony, thanks for the info reguarding the boiler. Customer phoned this morning "boiler is not working", so been round this evening and after an hour I found the fault, turned out to be a loose spade connection on the live feed to top of DV. so the boiler was firing but the heat had nowhere to go.

Prompted me in to booking a day at Biasi in the new year.

Thanks again, Oh, and all the best big fella

Unless the spade connector really was loose or dirty which is unusual, the problem is much more likely to be a dirty positional contact within the motor actuator.

Did you remove it to check that the gland seal underneath has not leaked water into the motor?

Generally I would recommend replacement unless you are totally confident the connection INTO it was faulty rather than INSIDE it!

Was the loose connection, after seeing what was happening, ie, the boiler firing temp rising and the shutting down and taking an absolute age to cool, I was convinced the pump was to blame, drained and took out pump thinking shaft was turning but impella not, was not that, removed micro to make sure pin was moving which I knew was as boiler fired. went through some more checks and drew conclusion faulty DV, removed the head and thats how I found the loose terminal.

Still Stumped though as to how the boiler would run "normal" and other times not, as in how was the loose spade sometimes making conntact and other times not, I mean, if the wire could be influenced externally then OK, but its within the boiler and no amout of switching on/off could make or break the contact.

One of them there odd ones.
