yep...plan b initiated

I wired the new switch as follows, The left side switch with the yellow and red wire now switches on the light upstairs hall but he right hand switch with 2 black and a red does not switch on the downstairs hall light but the order is reversed if I then switch off the single switch...

Hi all Looking for some advice on where to put the wires after changing the 2 way 2 gang switch downstairs and the ceiling rose downstairs. I took a load of pictures before and I still can't fugure out where to put the wires in the new switch downstairs and I'm not sure if I have put the...

Is it not the case that moisture can appear in the diaphragm side through condensation etc and that is all that is being expelled? Sourced from a heating engineer, "Some people will tell you your diphragm is bust but it's just condensation that's been drawn in on the air side over the years...

Basically just leaking out, once charged I tried the valve again and it was more of an aspiration rather than a jet of water. What is the correct procedure?

OK guys Never got a chance yeterday but the wife is out the way now and I've started pumping this up and just wanted to make sure this is standard procedure what I'm doing and observing. I've turned off the mains water supply and opened a tap in the kitchen. I stuck the end of a match in...

Thanks Doitall, I'll turn off the mains water and open a tap then pump it up. I'll report back later.

Not just D&G though, the guy was from Baxi Heating who are supposed to know about Potterton stuff.

OK thanks, yes it a little white one down on the floor. By duff do you mean it needs replaced or recharged? If replacement necessary and the part is NLA will one with the same specs do? Thanks for the advice.

Sorry for stupidity, the red one in the boiler is the primary, the one external is the secondary. I can't get a pic of the secondary because it's behind boxing in but here is a schematic of where it connects. So you reckon this is not about kettling and sludge but the secondary...

OK So is this big red tank the primary or secondary? There is another smaller one connected with pipes sitting down on the floor

Just under 2 bar. Also, there is no problem when it's just the central heating that's on, no noise at all that I would associate with kettling It is the valve on top of the sealed tank that is passing when hot.

sorry ignore me

Hi all My 13 year old Potterton Envoy Flowsure Plus has developed a problem. It is covered by Domestic and General who contract Baxi Heating. The boiler is a condensing combi boiler with a 50L sealed hot water storage tank. The storage tank has a T and P relief valve on the top and a few...
