Hi all. i'm looking for some advice and you experience of gravity wall blocks. I'm looking to build a retaining wall at around 1.2m in height in my garden. We've had a dig and still have black Earth to a depth of 1.5m from the lowest level. It looks like it might go a lot deeper. Our builder...

Hi Colin. Brown is the live to the motor. Orange and grey are connected to an end switch for boiler/pump switch live. So it would be call power to common on thermostat then call from thermostat to brown on zone valve. They are closed when not powered by springs.

What's the system pressure sitting at on the gauge?

More than likely something to do with the electrics. Are you getting a steady voltage to the boiler, within tolerances. Is the earth ok? Polarity ok? It may be coincidence with work carried out but with the sound of it they could have mucked something up.

Fair point fireman, No offence to the op but I don't know how capable he is at removing replacing it so airing on the side of safety as usual :wink:

No problem, hope all goes well, Cheers
