    Glowworm back boiler, Inset BBU 40 or 50.

    LOL, Agile check the user guide you do not need to disconnect any gas supply. If you can use a computer you may be able to download it, maybe read the user guide first. Part P is needed now. But was not a few years ago. I think this site should be re - named to DIY NOT HELPFUL. First page...

    I can buy a Glow-worm 801310 PCB and Thermostat 800999 for £110.00 and fit myself, Better then paying over £200 from glowworm. This depends on the full exact problem. I can follow instructions / diagrams.

    Glowworm back boiler, Inset BBU 40 or 50.

    Plumber said we needed a new cylinder or a new combi boiler, £600.00 or £1400.00. I have checked the tank and de-scaled the tank. The system is an Ellison hot water tank, with a cistern on the side and water heating expansion tank that circulates. This circulates when cleaned out but not when...

    Thats what we thought, But if we leave the downstairs radiator draining all the time, the boiler will not trip out. It will stay working for an hour. That's why i thought not the control box???

    Gas Back Boiler Timer thermostat help.

    Yes but at the moment only the pump powers on when the thermostat kicks in. the central heating light or hot water light on the programmer do not kick in. So the pump will be on 24/7 and only pumping cold water unless i maually turn the hot water on. Thks.
