2 Neighbours in new bungalows both with same system - S Plan, Grant boiler. I have replaced stuck microswitches in the Drayton valves, several times, for both neighbours. I think they just get stuck as turning on the pump and boiler is too much for their rating and the contacts stick. Sometimes...

Solenoid for sure. Not tripping with it unplugged, just going to lockout. Boiler now running with solenoid coil off the cooker burner. A

Hi, Just looking for any wisdom out there before I start. 100k twin burner Stanley fitted with Monoflame burners, Danfoss pump etc. I put the heating on the other night, ran for maybe 45 minutes, then it tripped the house earth leakage trip. I reset it and 10 minutes later the Stanley went...

Didn't realise service valves come in different 'flavours'. I now have this. Which has standard olive 15mm connection at one end and 1/2" tap connector at the other. Looks like straight swap for the original. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks, whole lot will be coming off. Just wanted to be sure of what I was looking at first.

Thanks Terry, just looked to be missing a nut to me. And thanks for pointer to 'tap extension'. And thank you 'mattylad' for posting the image.

Hi, Just wondering what is going on here. I have been sent an image from my son's house. Quite a recent build of about 5 years. Wet/leak under the cistern. Initial thought was leaky corroded shutoff valve, simple enough but looking closer it doesn't look right. Looks like it may have been...

I can see this will be difficult to resolve. My installation is totally my own, except for the oil side, so I know how it is wired and what goes where. I don't understand what was done here to require the crossing out and writing on the programmer face.

As an owner of a similar vintage Stanley 100k can I beg to differ. I would say that is the original programmer as it says Stanley on it and has Cooker printed on it where a normal 'off the shelf' programmer would say Hot Water. It is of the type that was fitted to our Stanley. They certainly do...

Have owned a couple of these in buy to lets. Problem is probably due to gravity flow from the large mass of hot water in the thermal store, just circulating around the rads. It was bad in one of the the properties, so I fitted a zone valve in the flow to the radiators and opened this with the...

All good. Original RKP in the garage was faulty. It may have been the disturbance of being opened to check it's address or it may have failed prior to this I do not know, as it does not get a lot of use. In short, I removed the wiring for the new RKP and just had the original connected and it...

No...I was just going by the instructions that came with the RKP :- Configuring the Keypad =============== When the system is powered up it automatically checks and configures all connected keypads. It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery)...

Hi, I have had a Veritas 8 for many years with an RKP in the garage. I have just moved the main panel into a cupboard and added a new RKP in the hall. This new RKP, with an address of 2, works fine. I just checked the old RKP in the garage, with an address of 1, and it double bleeps when keys...

Thanks. I think I may have the washers sorted from eBay. I sourced some Neoprene, 12mm ID, 26mm OD by 1.5mm thick. The originals are quite thin. All of the chrome parts are now screwed 'tight' into PTFE. Below text added for INTEREST. However..as a side issue..and not looking here for...
