Great idea, thanks Tigercubrider. The floss just breaks. Have tried same with fishing line and even wire but no good. Here is a photo showing the top looking down.

Hi All, I have a replacement flipper door (Valliant from Eastbrook) after my original door fell off and smashed into smithereens. My problem is I cannot get the old trim off the end of the glass wall. Everything is undone so I presume there was a bead of silicone put inside the trim. No amount...

Cheers for that. Yes it was a vented system before that with a weak old boiler. Thanks for your replies and I will do as you suggest keep an eye on it.

It was done about 4 months ago. The rads were bled over a couple of days after that, but not since until last week so it could well be pockets of trapped air as you suggest. I have just never smelled this rubbery smell or seen the fine mist coming out of the valve.

I keep having to bleed just 2 radiators on a system of 14. When I do so the rad emits a strange rubbery smell and also a very slight thin smoke like mist (Not hot) that dissipates almost immediately. We have recently had a new unvented cylinder and boiler installed and the system was well...

Cheers for the super fast reply micky. I guess he set it to 3 a that is what the manual says. The mains seems to fluctuate between 2 and 2.8 bar. What should the EV be set at to cope with that?

I have a new unvented system installed a few months ago. It has started to sometimes make a loud vibrating sound when a hot water tap is first turned on. The noise only lasts for a few seconds. The installer has been out a couple of times and solved the problem for a bit but it keeps coming...

What about creating an insulated enclosure (with an air vent for the boiler) around the boiler and tank? Would that be of any help in a cold loft? It would be easily removable for access.

Cheers Tony, I thought that maybe the bit of heat the boiler gives off may make a diffrence if the rafters are insulated. What do you mean by sealed air gap? Thanks for your help.

Hi All, I am looking at installing foil insulation on my rafters. The loft is well insulated between the joists but I now have my boiler, unvented cylinder and digital shower processor up in the loft. It does get very cold up there in winter and I am concerned. My query is do I need to...
