Phoned Heatline Monday, they gave me a job reference and the number of their local engineer. They came today and replaced the fan, sounds MUCH quieter. good service in my book. Thanks for the tips here chaps. Now to build a case for it and the missus can have no more complaints :wink:

I do think it is the Capriz he got, he mentioned the 2 yrs guarantee. http://products.staxtradecentres.co.uk/public/buy/f-pi/p209676/capriz+sedbuk+b+combi+boiler.htm and looking at this it's the 28 which I imagine is better?

I wouldn't have let him touch it otherwise. Today I asked a neighbour who is a plumber to have a listen and he said it's deffo the fans too noisy. Ironically he bought a new combi a few weeks ago from Stax which he is going to use to replace his current one in the summer. You've guessed...

I must confess to being a bit of a skinflint :D but from the reviews I read it didn't seem to be too bad a buy, cheap but not obviously nasty. Thanks for the suggestions, the air value check sounds well worth a try when I've found it, any pointers welcome. If then still no success with...

HI all, been a member ages and got some good tips here, but I think this is my first post. Anyway I had a Heatline 25 fitted a couple of months ago, to replace a Saunier Duval that was about 4 yrs old, but had sprung a leak in the same place (plastic manifold) twice in that time. I...
