Hi, I’ve a mira sport that’s just decided to run cold, the power light is on and the low flow not lit, but no heat. I’ve been told it could be this ( TCO ) ? I’ve tested across with multi meter and I don’t have continuity ? So is this the culprit ? Thanks

Hi, im a gas safe engineer, looking for some expertise in a field i dont really do much in i service a boiler for a customer and theyve asked me to look at there built in oven details are:- new world NW60G model number 444447276 serial number 01116566 basically its one of therm solar...

Hi guys.. Fitted a vaillant 937 combi in place of a vented cylinder and old back boiler. Boiler went in the loft so pipes all went across loft and into cylinder cupboard. Hot out let tees into a pipe under the floor, as it hit the tee the left hand side is feeding two on suites and the right...

Ignition board replaced, part cost £154. Charged £60 labour. All working now.

i'm actually fully qualified...Maybe i should ahve posted on the combustion chamber!!..? Ive checked both the Thermistors, there are 10/12 ohms, removed and cleaned the venturi, tested the aps making over and can hear it switching... Not worked on many of these, hate the things... Im...

Have a Biasi that for both hot water and heating ignites for approx 3 secs then cuts out and tries again, constantly does this, doesnt lock out or go to fault... Any ideas? Cheers

yeah flow rate is not as good to get decent hot water, untill rads are very hot. cheers

ok, thanks for the reply. does it sound likley to be this? hot water is fine when heating is running.

hi, got a combi that wont fire up for water but heating is fine (old 10 year old + twin pass h/exch) There is a flow switch on the cold inlet, am i right in saying when i disconnect the plug leading to it (clip type conection with 3 wires to it and then to board) and run hot tap i should get...

noticed it only ever does it with the hot water, not heating, could it be the flow switch?

Alpha cd28x - when hot tap turned on sometimes take a few seconds (20 plus) for boiler to fire up, and the amber light, one up from the bottom one flickers on and off , then boiler fires up. Some times it fires straight away, other times 20 plus seconds? Any alpha wiz kids out there who could...

trv's dont work as well on the return, and although most are bi-directional, they work better on the flow. Cheaper ones are not very accurate either, check curtains or anything not covering them either, it can effect the performance, as they sense the room temp and shut down slowly are room...

ok, cheers, pipes can be altered, but needs to be floor standing, so should be the best option. cheers.

hi, is the new highflow 440 he as close to a straight swop as poss to the old highflow 400? cheers

Open vented, fully pumped, close coupled with air separater , pump over run wired in, new boiler- 24 ri bosh he. Boiler makes banging noise and water floods out of expansion pipe and then header tank over flows out of over flow pipe, after it shuts down, can take an hour to do it, all rads...
