:( After 1 week of hot water, it's all gone pete tong!! After only two quick showers this morning, the water was running luke warm from the taps and the tap at the bottom of the hot water cylinder was stone cold. This can't be right, particularly as the hot water had only just finished...

Sorry unable to post a photo of our heating. glenda x

Thank you for your kind interest!! Is it a photo of the hot water cylinder or myself that's required? Hot water cylinder I will gladly post but as far as a picture of myself is concerned...................You'll have to use your imagination!!! With regards to an imersion heater, I think it...

Well, it looks like 26 years of experience has paid off and we now have a tank of piping hot water as normal! The engineer even gave me his moby number to contact him directly if that wasn't the case! With regards to an immersion heater facility, we don't have one at all. There is a blanked...

Oh heck! I presumed that all British gas engineers are fully trained and compentent, particularly as I pay a hefty monthly premium for their services when needed! Thankfully hubby can stand over the chap's shoulder tomorrow and monitor what he does/doesn't do! He's not a heating engineer...

Wow! Thanks for your speedy response! We have a Vailant boiler which was checked by the engineer and is working fine as the radiators all heat up! The point about the cylinder stat (Sorry is that short for thermostat?) has been mentioned by another reply so I will "suggest" that to the...

I would be so glad on any advice regarding my following problem! We have a Santon premier water cylinder (model TP150B) which was installed 7 years ago. Up until last Wednesday we have enjoyed a daily tank of piping hot water ! However, literally from one day to the next, the tank is now only...
