A problem driving me mad the immobiliser light stays on after I put the key in and now the central locking on the front doors dont work even when i try to lock the driver door with a key it sometimes fails to do so. Also the engine cuts out sometimes when Im driving. Does anyone have any ideas...

The door wont close I suspect the part on the door where the metal clicks into is faulty. Anyone know if you can get that part indvidually or is it a new door?

Matt give me some credit please its a baxi solo GC number 47-077-78. I havent damaged any board as it was dead before I replaced it. The original fault was no hot water as the valve was stuck in heating. The boiler was kettling and the pump was sticking so I decided to replace the pump. By the...

That sounds like a u gauge and it appears he did a proepr job.

Its an old permanent pilot/thermocouple Baxi solo probably about 15-20 years old. There is a small PCB about the size of a playing card with one connection to it that sends power to the pump. Im assuming as there is no cylinder stat that the boiler stat controls the water temperature.

I think that could well be the case

That is the case the PCB on the boiler powers the pump and is why I changed it.

There is no cylinder stat and also there is no power going to the boiler which Im most puzzled by.

Thanks for the response Fully pumped y plan. Programmer switched on and no power going to pump also no power going to boiler but the micro switch on the 3 port motors across when there is a demand. After I fitted the PCB in the boiler downstairs I went up to the room whereit all was turned on...

Hi Im a gas engineer and I have an ongoing problem that I think is down to the electrics. No power going from the junction box to the pump, no power to the boiler, and the room stat doesnt click. The three port valve motor was stuck but it was replaced and now motors across when there is a...

I had the very same problem I had a leak from the turbo tank in the bonnet

CHeck the resistance of the pump with a multimeter. Turn power off disconnect the wires and put your probes on the live and neutral pins see what the ohms reading is.

Well there is a compulsory part for both you need to do college to get your papers and you must need certain time on work experience. I would agree with what someone said earlier that if your an apprentice a lot depends on your master. Going on my own experience the attitude of the master...

Some of you lot are obviously so intelligent that you are wasted as gas engineers. This page ought to be looked at by the head hunters at NASA the calibre is border line genius. Actually the most technically and practially sound engineer I have ever worked with was a functioning alcoholic that...

I worked for one of Carillion (who now own EAGA) as a subby and found them a good bunch to work for. Gas fitters for some reason just like bad mouthing each others work like no other trade do.
