Thanks for all your help.

That's what I thought too having read up on this and it seems the most common problem for sludge is kettling and radiator problems. The company I used was a local firm we've used in the past but he didn't seem too interested - probably because he was about to emigrate to Australia! I probably...

Excellent ! Its an RSF 82 ET - it's actually 6 years old (installed feb 01)

I have a Ravenhead Combi boiler which is just coming up to 5 years old. It chucks out plenty of heat for the radiators but am having trouble with the hot water. First of all it comes out hot, then it goes cold, then its lukewarm, then I have to turn the flow down considerably to get hot water...

It started earlier this year after a power failure. THe hot water was OK but the boiler would not fire up for central heating. We pressed reset, turned it on and off a few times, and it came back on and then same thing happened again later. All was working well til yesterday and I thought I...
