Thanks very much. It's a traditional boiler with hot water cylinder. No idea of flow rate, sadly. Definitely nothing wrong with the kitchen tap pressure, and even the bath taps. The shower pressure isn't too bad, but just not as much as I'd like. How effective are pumps?

Hi all My bathroom is due an upgrade (new everything) and I'm keen to get on with it (by that, I mean pay someone to do it for me). However, I have a 30 year old boiler which is still going strong. The last boiler man who came to service it said it will just keep going and recommended I don't...

Thanks again. I've used the timer to request heating and hot water separately. Pump seems to be fine for both. For hot water, the 3-port makes a rapid whirling sound for a second before a single click. For heating, it seems to just click straightaway... I set the timer to request hot...

Many thanks for taking the time to write that. I've checked that the boiler fires / doesn't fire depending on the stats - both seem to be working fine. Forgive my ignorance but when you say "pump and the 3-port should turn/rotate" what am I actually looking / listening for?

Thank you. Based on the info above, is it guaranteed to fix the problem or is there anything I can check to see whether it's likely to?

Yes it does. And thanks- stat now up to 60.

Thanks. Is there a fix or is it just a matter of replacing it?

Hi guys An engineer came to service the boiler last week. It passed and my central heating is working nicely. However, I seem to now have constant hot water... and it's much hotter than usual... I have an old (non combi) Myson Apollo Fanfare boiler so I use the timer settings on the control...

Great, thank you. 16A would be suitable, I assume? Looks straightforward enough (famous last words!...)

Thanks again Any advice on making the neutral wire safe? I was intending to tape it but Google tells me that would be unsafe. Do I need to use a terminal block? If so, any recommendations on what to go for? (Screwfix, ideally)

Great, thank you. I've just checked the Honeywell help site for the wiring diagram. It looks like: Yellow to A Red to B and tape off/ choc block blue to make safe Please let me know if you disagree.

Thank you very much for replying. What about the Honeywell DT90E? https://www.screwfix.com/p/honeywell-home-dt90e-digital-room-thermostat-eco/41365

Hi all I wonder if you could help me please. I'd like to replace my old Sunvic TLX 2259 with a newer thermostat. I'm hoping for a straightforward swap (anything too complicated with electrics is beyond me) but would prefer a digital device. Could anyone recommend one? I have a British Gas UP2...

Thank you to everyone who has responded. What a great forum. I'm minded to just pay a pro to install the fan.
