Ive got boilercare thru sse and the guys due tomorrow, is that an easy thing to check as im no heating engineer but reasonable diyer.

Right folks, I woke up this morning and the place was freezing, so looked at the boiler, pressure had dropped to 0.6 bar, topped it up to the bloodline setting on the boiler 1.2bar, switched on and off a few times nothing, found a reset switch under the control panel which must be a overtemp...

reading the link, it says just remove the starter :oops: :oops: :oops:

yeah they have starters, only doing it as the government are paying for it!!!! http://www.energylightbulbs.co.uk/products/22w-t8-led-tube-1500mm-5ft-tube is this ones im looking at, not cheap right enough

Im thinking of changing the tubes in the garage of which there are 4. It is currently 5ft 65w tubes which are FAT! (T12 going by my research) and the ones im thinking of putting in are T8. I read the gap between pins is the same, is it is easy as swapping them out? thanks.

thanks for that, was always going to drain down and put in some cleaner as dont know when it was last done, have a rad close to the back door, ill use that. Thanks for all your help by the way, really appreciate it.

rads all toasty now seems to be back to normal. So if i have to drain things down again, should i use the drain of the bottom of the boiler termed primary water? as there is no drain cock that i can see. cheers

trid the switches not sure if they had tripped or not, booted her up, boilers doing something, cant hear pump though, i feel the radiators warming up slightly. seem to be warmer at the top of the radiators than the bottom, any significance?

will try those trip switches and report back. drained to zero pressure, changed valves, repressured with filling loop to 1 bar, pressures holding but no go.

forgot to say, boiler powers up etc but pump wont start.

Hi all, changed radiator valves today for a towel rail in the en-suite, now its a combi system bosch highflow 400 with 8mm microbore :evil not to familiar with combis, so cannot find a drain cock at all, so i flattened system through the blow off valve to get the job done. I changed the...

So, could i use a radiator to drain the system down also ad the boier one is fiddly to get at? Thanks

So, is the primary water drain the one i need, its off the bottom of the tank in the boiler?

Ok, need help understanding my system after trawling net to find answers, im upgrading the en-suite and replacing radiator for a towel rail, hence the need to drain system. Firstly cannot find a draincock anywhere, system is microbore also if that makes a difference. There is a draincock...

Primary water is heating water, ie radiators etc?
