Hi Guys and Girls, So here's the situation........ Currently all of the radiators we have in the house (nine in total) are fitted with Drayton TRV4's. Should all the rads trip off having reached temperature we then have to rely on a relatively short bypass, which is installed near the...

Mmmm OK Guy's, looks like getting the gas valve checked is the next step. Fingers crossed!. Thanks again.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Yes we do have a bypass fitted and I believe it is currently open. The screeching could relate to the gas valve but the strange thing is it always makes this noise whilst changing from running to standby rather than when it's firing up!. Would like to get...

Hi Blooflame, thanks for your reply. The condense trap has been cleaned out recently by a BGas engineer in an effort to resolve this issue (although it seemed pretty clean anyway), the drsin is also clear.

Hi Guy's, Thanks for your responses to my previous posting. Unfortunately we still have the same intermittent problem. Boiler banging and screaching, usually when changing from running to standby. Having had seven rads replaced in the summer I'm wondering if the problem is due to load...

Hi Guy's, Thanks for your responses thus far. Unfortunately we still have the same intermittent problem. Having had seven rads replaced in the summer I'm wondering if the problem is due to load balancing (or rather lack of it). The return valves on each rad (9 in total) are fully open...

Hi Only, Thanks for the response. The banging appears to come from somewhere near the upper reaches of the heat exchanger and the bottom of the fan. I'm assuming this noise is caused by overheating, causing the boiler cover to expand and bang. I did ask the engineer if it could be the...

Thanks for the response Pablo, The boiler last received a full service in January 2009. Must admit that the BG engineers have been very good (apart from tracing the fault), guess a nice hot cuppa always helps! Regs, Mark

Thanks for the prompt response Dave. The fan seems to be functioning OK as I can hear it running and responding (slowing down\speeding up). I'll suggest the possible ignition problem to the engineer although I don't think BGas are going to want to throw too many more parts at this...

Hi, Although I've taken a look through past topics and found problems akin to that being experienced here, just wondered if anyone could help re specifics. The Boiler ICOS me3080 Ideal condenser Boiler The Problem Seems to occur whilst CH is being supplied, water on it's own is fine...
