Yes tried that exact thing... no change

Since I replied I have managed to dig out the original thermostat instructions. I found the section regarding resetting etc but when I tried my minus and plus buttons don't work so I can't scroll to code 35. Could this point to the problem being this unit?? I have dismantled the unit and the...

Hmm, no I hadn't considered that. Is that a simple process?

Hi. I'm after some advice on fitting a central heating room thermostat. Currrent boiler is glowworm ultra power Sxi with the gloworm climapro RF system. The thermostat control unit/cuitcuit board now just displays a solid red light indicating a permanent fault so I'm considering swopping to...

hi.i have a glow worm ultra power sxi and my climapro rf recently came up with the rf error on my remote unit rendering it useless and leaving me with basic timed settings set by the boiler front panel. And no thermostat to kick in when the temp drops as it's all controlled by the rf unit. The...

evening all, we have 2 vertical rads in our bedroom. One blazes away as it should the other doesn't even get warm. (A long story but not my current question!) The one that works as it should (i.e. Gets hot) makes a really annoying water dribbling noise, almost like someone is poring water in at...

Ok thanks, I've had a little play with the box etc but I think it's little beyond me. Might be best getting a local firm in to give me a quote. I know you have recommended the texecom but Just out of interest do you know which brands give the most relatively trouble free service at decent price...

I'm not sure, it's the same as this one. (Google image) I think it's generally not happy as the siren and strobe don't work either (tried via the panic switch by the door.) Are the texecom ones wireless? If not is it even feasible to re-use the old wiring as it looks properly well hidden and...

hi we have an old optima 2 plus alarm system which is I'm guessing 20 years old. It's wired with 5 P.i.r's and garage door contact, 2 panic button pushes and 1 extra keypad in the garage. its never been right since we moved in. Zones not working right internal battery dead, can't be set etc...

our main bedroom is freezing as its above a double garage. The roof is flat and plastered but needs more insulation imo. Can I literally stick a load of king span pieces to the roof? Will it help or is there a better way? I don't want to break out a big job. I'm no pro but I could make a decent...

Done it, worked a treat! Many thanks, big sweat on here!

You mean this??

Hi my zilmet pressure vessel has rusted out on top of my boiler and sprung a major leak. I need some advice on what to do. I've shut the boiler down electrics side. The pressure vessel has been weeping for a good 90 mins now, do I need to turn mains water off too? Or open hot water taps to drain...

It's not loose it has some resistance.

I removed the valve as you suggested and the pin seems to ping in and out freely enough. I will try and shut off a few rads to see if that helps. Should I shut off the ones nearest the bad radiator? If this doesn't work could it be a bad valve on the opposite side to the thermostat? Thanks.
