So how did this all go ? Well ..... after being told " There's noffink can be done - you need a new boiler " it's 4 days later , the hot water is scalding , the central heating is purring away and my home is too warm . So I think it's all good . New Plate Heat Exchanger , Automatic Air Vent ...

Well .... it all looked like it was fixed . And now in the evening I've lost pressure again . From outside I can not see the end of the pipe that runs from the PRV out through wall . I assume there is no pressure in this pipe and I can myself disconnect it INSIDE the flat and observe any...

I was watching Lee Mack last night and he was talking to someone in the audience . He asked him his name . " John " " What do you do John ? " " I'm a Plumber " Lee: " Well its f***** nice of you to turn up hey John !!!! " Funny. My plumber did turn up and he's working now . I'll report back .

When I did all the numbers I knew I couldn't afford to replace the boiler . And then one or two guys on here spoke about getting a fixed-price repair . I thought I'd go ahead with the quote but kind of ask whether the firm could do a repair instead - but he was enthusiastic about saving the...

I was going to join the Hampshire Apathy Society . But I couldn't be bothered.

Thank you Whitespirit . I'll show him your message . And WS ...... I'm not sure that ' apathy ' is a virtue . Not sure at all about that one.

Takk jonjb .

Well ....... I had a guy turn up on time this morning to look and quote for total replacement . But he loves Vaillants and asked why I would want to replace it ! Just repair it . As you have been saying . And he's doing it !!! Ordered a Plate Heat Exchanger and also found that the Control...

Well this is encouraging although I won't have a couple of grand in my pocket as I'm only starting with about £440 so far . After reading this I watched a video about taking the PRV apart and giving it a good clean . Or I mean unscrewing the cap off it and cleaning the area of the pressure...

I appreciate the time you're spending on this. I've got someone coming in the morning to quote on installing a replacement boiler . I might try if he's amenable to fixing this one . Examined that schraeder and miniscule bubbles are very slowly escaping . But tiny air there and small trickles...

I followed the video on Youtube . ( I know . I know .... don't tell me off . ) Which said nothing about a drain point being left open and I wouldn't know what that meant. And I don't know what a PRV is . Presumably a valve . It did occur to me that it could be bypassing that schraeder but I...

Thank you Bunny . I've just sold my Hudl 2 tablet . For more than I paid for it !! That's just stupid . I'm gonna take 8 bags of leaves down to the dump . Come back . Coffee and a piece of toast . Then a big deep breath and I'll go and toot around with the Settings on the boiler as you are...

Well I say it's working but it's " acting up " . I found two plumbers at different times. One said I needed a new expansion chamber . ( I didn't ) . The other said I had a problem with a valve and he'd go and get the right valve and then I never saw him again . You people on here are clearly...

That's a very good margin the distributors are giving to the trade ! Fancy working in Camberley ?

Thank you casper . Personal experience ...... I can't beat that.
