The only code is 'C', which implied that the system had overheated, which is why he suggested switching off to let it reset... so no he was being lazy :lol: There were no fault codes. To be fair to him, I've spoken to him several times this morning so no, not till the end of his shift, he's...

Hello My mum has an Ideal 24 combi boiler. It was serviced in August, as part of the Warmfront deal. Last night she went to switch the heating on for the first time this year and it would not work. The 'burner' light on the boiler comes on for about 30 seconds then goes out again. The...

I use Calgon liquid gel with my washes.

Ok John I'll give it a go later. I filled the sink with cold water and it ran ok. Thanks.

Hi John It's just the kitchen sink, but it gurgles quite loudly. Just rang the Council, the gulley is their responsibility, so they'll come next Monday to jet it. I'll keep boiling the kettle and pouring boiling water down the sink John! Do you think it's safe to use the washing...

Thanks for your reply Terence. There's only an outside drain. I'm not sure I can open it though, as the plumber opened next door's and it must have been quite tough to do cos it's no longer in one piece.

Hello I'm a new poster, so if I've done anything incorrect, please forgive me. My kitchen sink has blocked. I used a plunger, bicarb of soda with vinegar, boiling hot water - nothing shifted. Today I used a drain snake three times to try and shift the blockage - again nothing has...
