Thanks for this post. I have exactly the same boiler and was thinking exactly the same thing. We seem to use (according to USwitch) an above average amount of Gas 19,262kwh , Electricity 5902kwh over a year. We live in a 3 bed 1930's semi

i had a similar issue after adding a radiator. The boiler would try to fire up but would stop after about 7 seconds. Red 30 degree light flashing. What resolved this was repeatedly trying to turn the heating on. (Having the heating set to come on and resetting the boiler when the red light...

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me. I've moved to a new property that has an existing Baxi Combi Instant 105e Boiler. The hot water works fine but when I've tried to fire up the central heating it doesn't work. When I switch on the CH after 10 second the 'hot water tap symbol'...
