    Longest possible extension pole?

    I know this is a bit of a daft question but... I have no head for heights. In fact I bloody hate it. But I have to paint our house this spring/summer. I have NO intention of going up a ladder. Money is tight so a scaffold is out looking at the prices on HSS. Also hiring someone is too...

    intermittent hot water Ideal Boiler C80FF

    Well, all done. Took less than an hour top get the exchanger out, easy to do. I ran some fernox sludge removing stuff through it but I think it is still sludged up in there. Certainly you can here it swishing about in there when you shake it still. Replaced it and it is better- longer...

    intermittent hot water Ideal Boiler C80FF

    Right, looking at the manual that does look DIYable- few screws to remove and replace it- no need to touch gas. Is this correct? If so I'll give it a go. Or is it cleanable? If so do I just flush it through with water?

    Filling loop, where is it? Ideal boiler C80FF

    Thanks for your help so far. I have looked and looked but there isn't one there! I'm thinking it would be fairly visable from the photo you showed. Should I have pipes where it would attach to? Could i attach a new one myself? Where would it go? Thanks again

    Filling loop, where is it? Ideal boiler C80FF

    Hi New house, problem with the boiler. It is a "Ideal Boiler C80 FF" and the pressure reading is zero. The radiators are cold upstairs, I am assuming because there is no pressure. All the advice I have seen so far recommends adding pressure via the Filling loop. This is my problem- I can't...
