Hi, The boiler has now started tripping out with a fault code pointing to the Control Panel which I presume is the PCB. (7 flashes on the red light) I watched it this morning and it is not knocking off or coming on correctly in accordance with the temperature which I think it was doing to a...

I've found all this discussion very interesting so thank you to all who took the time to reply. I'm still not 100% sure there isn't a problem, maybe with the pump because I'm sure we were in there in March and it was super warm but I guess if there is an issue it will show itself eventually...

Thanks for the response. There's no TRVs fitted. The radiators do feel hot to the touch and are all similar temperature. I'd guess a 15 degree difference is what I could feel because the out was too hot to hold, the in was still hot but I could hold it for 3 or 4 seconds maximum which is...

Hello, I'm hoping some kind soul can help me to figure out what is wrong with our Combi boiler in our Caravan. It's a Fagor Feb 20e, probably 16 years old. Just suddenly it has started to short cycle on the heating. The hot water is fine. So we switch the heating on, the boiler fires up...
