east london mains leak affecting the whole area lol sorry 8)

Checked outside- water metre is indicating no leaks and spins when the tap is on- very low pressure, only sink tap works at half capacity. The boiler wont pressure up EDIT: If i leave tap on and try to increase pressure on combi initially the tap water pressure increased but now there is no...

burner light is flashing- boiler is on and hot pipe is hot. Ideal have refused to help

its an ideal HE30 with a honeywell pipe thermo and control panel. I think its a thermostat problem perhaps. no idea. 'c' setting meaning ch is being supplied. sorry i cant be more helpful, i really am at a loss with this one

the system is as you say- its def a boiler problem and not related to the system. the boiler worked fine until one week after guarantee ran out..

hot water pipe is hot- very confused. the burner light is flashing- if anyone can throw some light on this it would be much appreciated

The hot water works, the heating doesnt- is it something simple? The status says 'c'. Pressure is just above 1 bar. The heating installation costa fortune, but the boiler looks so cheap. Its not a regular system, circulating hot air through ducts. My uncle has the same type system, no...

I have a 95cm area from window to left hand wall and plan to buy and install a 4 burner hob in this space. I only have a limited length to fit the hob sink and plug sockets safely(245cm). What is the minimum you would go to/from the wall? I was thinking 20-22cm from edge of hob to wall.

Gas guru, thanks for the help- if you are ever in E1 I'd like to give you a bottle of Moet 07976605077 Will

Isolated boiler, connected 3 and 4 up, switched back on, hey presto. :D Bar went down to 1.5 (to the red marker setting). And the temp gauge works, up to 50 now. Do I still need to take bar down to 1? I think I owe someone a bottle at least.

Hmm.. I think the thermostat has been removed(?)- I think I can see where something was fitted as there are holes in the wall. I removed the panel at the bottom of boiler and there is only live/neutral/earth. I'm beginning to think the boiler has moved location. Should i buy a thermostat...

Yikes, didnt realise 2 bar was too high- the red 'hand' is at 1.5 and the max point looked to be 3 (round dot) Nothing happens when switched to dual /continuous setting (only comes on with hot water) could it be blocked?

Cheers for replying- I did have a brief look at the Vaillant site- didnt realise my boiler was on it- will look again, thanks When switched on the setting for both DHW/CH it still fires for hot water; fuses all look ok too. Where is wax capsule situated? Excuse my ignorance.. Will

Hi Alt, where was Vaillant repairer based? My CH on my 242 not working

Can't find my earlier post regarding my Vaillant VCW-GB-242-EH (or 282?) Just to say I am no expert on boilers.. i re filled it; its now reading a healthy 2+ bar; nice and quiet in operation :( No idea how to get CH to work tho hot water is working perfectly. There is no wall...
