    Glow worm boiler with smart centre - complex problems.

    Hey! Guess what, I have a similar fault on my similar system... Ultracom 18Hxi Smart Wiring Centre Climapro RF When installed (last Nov), the system initally would not provide DHW...even though the 'stat was turned up and the Climapro was set to DHW "on". Glowworm engineer turned up...

    FORD TRANSIT HEATER PLUGS

    If your Transit has a 2.5 Di engine (either with or without a Turbo) then it has NO glowpugs... The earlier indirect injection York diesels did have, though.

    Audi A4 new engine or just cylinder head?

    To make a descision as to whether the head is scrap or not requires you (or your mechanic) stripping down the head... If it were me, I'd strip the head completely..than take the bare head with components to a machine shop and ask them to: a) crack test the head b) crack test the cam shaft...

    Best Boiler brands...

    Why don't you PM me your contact details...one of my work colleagues is looking for a similar job (replace a boiler and he already has the (s/h) replacement)...he lives in Stanmore and would be very keen on a cheaper job... Be warned, though, he is extremely pedantic and will not suffer idots...

    Best Boiler brands...

    Right...post install update: Plumber has completed the job...took a bit longer than both he estimated and I expected, mainly due to the only place for the new flue exit being through and old concrete window lintel (window long since removed)... This meant his hole cutter not being up to the...

    replace boiler

    Blimey! £40 an hour is CHEAP for a skilled tradesman! However, I'd question the 51 hours required to change a boiler :?

    diesel bleeding

    An air leak could be anywhere in the fuel feed system (pumps, pipes, filters, etc...You just have to look very carefully and think what may have been touched/joined/altered... Just because it was running OK in the past doesn't mean the pump cannot be faulty now...However, the air leak is more...

    diesel bleeding

    Sounds like you either have an air leak or the injection pump is mistimed or faulty

    replace boiler

    Joe, you're missing the point...Mehran is correct in that you price your time/work to take into account the fact that you can't always be working as you have to factor in time to travel, do the paperwork, training, whatever...as well as those slack times when there is just less work around...

    diesel bleeding

    all modern small direct injection or common rail diesels are self bleeding... There *may* be a priming bulb or lever on the fuel filter...but this is just for filling the filter and fuel lines to avoid flattening the battery by cranking until the air is excluded... Unless you have a leak...

    ford transit 1999 SWB first start trouble

    It is quite common for the earth strap to break...That will give a poor earth as the only remaining earth route for the engine (and components on it, such as the starter) will be through any metal/metal interfaces...Given that these corrode and that there is a resistance differential between...

    diesel bleeding

    it'll be self-bleeding

    ford transit 1999 SWB first start trouble

    because electrical resistance will increase if there is moisture in a poor connection...in good weather it will a)be dry and b) the metals expand and make joints that bit tighter
