before rushing out and spending money on all sorts of goodies, look under the boiler on the right hand side, you will hopefully see a rectangle, gently press this up into the boiler by a couple of mm and with any luck and a bit of magic a programmer will drop down, set your times and push timer...

Ross, The receiver needs to be wired from the boiler not the programmer, there are contacts on the boiler for this. these are shown in the instruction book. If you are not confident about this, be safe and get a professional in. David

Sorry but after looking in the instruction book its not possible to connect to the existing stat wiring. But why not put the receiver next to the boiler then there would be no problem with a new piece of cable. If the boiler is between kitchen units the receiver can be mounted on top of...

You say its a vaillant boiler, that narrows it down to probably one of a hundred or so boilers. My crystal ball is a bit cloudly tonight so, If its not too much trouble. Give us full details of the model of the boiler, depending on the internal wiring of the boiler may be able to fit...

I know this might sound a silly idea but why not phone deva on 0800 195 1602 and ask for their spares department. They may be able to help you from a description, if not they will ask for a photo. Check with them what type of card they will accept, (When I dealt with them a couple of...

Turn off water take out cartridge, you will find that the part with the washer on has a hexagonal shaft on it which should go into a hexagonal hole, I would guess that the shaft has come out of its hole, due to wear on the tap washer. On the shaft where the tap head goes you will find a clip...

Having looked at the photos it seems to me to be a simple job to remove the taps.They cannot be undone from under the sink so they must come undone from above. After turning off the water, take off the tap heads, either pull, or unscrew H&C discs take out screw then remove heads. You will...

Hi Walderslade, This is interesting, I went to look at a system a while back in one of the newer areas of Walderslade, with the same problems, found that the "hot water off" had not been connected between the programmer and the 3 port valve, The cable was installed but had not been connected...

The timer you have is only a single channel model so I would think that it would be wired so it turns on the boiler at the times set, and then you have to control your heating and hot water with the thermostats. This timer will not give individual control of CH & DHW They will both come on...

The crystal ball is a bit cloudy tonight :? give me just a small clue and it might clear a small amount or someone else may have a better crystal balls than me David picture was not there when I first looked from the picture I would say it was fully pumped

S*ds law says that any waste trap that has to go below floor board level will be in the way of a joist. So if you buy a tray with the waste in a differant place it will get into a tangle with a differant joist. 2 ways round this build a platform from 3x2 or 4x2 to lift the shower tray up...

If its a new saniflo phone them up and get one of there service engineers to come out and repair it under warranty. If you want to DIY take the lid of ......Isolate the power first....... I think you will find that the non return valve on the shower inlet is faulty or as was said above there...

Norcon, I asked this back on page 8 it is a "spacer" Question I now have is this He tells us that he has moved the DHW cylinder 3meters down the road, Look at the picture on page 7 unless he took this before he moved the cylinder or he has moved a lot more than the cylinder, the...

bonkersbill If you do not want help just say and we will all give up and go down the pub. Yes you did give answers to my first lot of questions Please reread your answer. You have a pipe going hot water tank in one sentence, and then the same pipe doing a totally different job in...

bonkersbill There are several things that do not make sense to me, !, The title of this thread implies that you are a heating engineer. but several things that you say makes me wonder if you are the home owner, 2, There seem to be too many mistakes in your posts as to which pipe is...
