Hi, Blue. It's set to hit 80 degrees which it probably does after 5 hours :-) I'm likening it to boiling a large pan of water on my littles gas ring on my hob i. e. I will boil eventually, but takes an age. There are no settings that differ from those factory ones shown in the manual, so...

Morning all. Interesting development. True to my guess that it's the boiler running at tick over is the problem, I've just fired it up from cold, put a piece of masking tape round the flow pipe straight out the boiler so it helps my infrared thermometer get a good reading (sorry, I have no...

Hi DP. Thanks for the info. I checked the pipe temp out the boiler; on heating pipe just beneath the 3 way valve (it is on heating only at present) and at the first fully open rad feed (bathroom) and the temps were very similar. I did the same for the returns and it was the same story -...

I'm not sure, I'll have a look in the manual and report back. Cheers

Okay i will try that and come back. Thanks.

Yes, the same temp. I should add, this situation existed before i changed the pump. I swapped it to rule the old pump out.

Hi all, thanks for the replies. The parameters are exactly as the manual describes. The only thing i did was raise the temp to 80 from 75, but that's not done anything. I've had the heating on now for 2 and a half hours and water and heating on now for half an hour and if i grab the flow pipe...

Hi Blue, there's no bypass, just two rads with no trvs. It's an old system that was originally conceived for a back boiler in (i guess) the early 80s. I had that boiler replaced with a Worcester bosch 14/19 cbi with a new cylinder and a y plan in 2004. It's chugged along happily until about a...

Hi folks, the balancing was pretty good with the old boiler, bar the last rad on the circuit which was always slow to heat up. I've dialed the upstairs lock valves down a touch to help, but it's painfully slow to heat up. Re the internal timer, I've got it on "C-on" as opposed to "t-on" which is...

Hi there, It's a programmable room stat centaurstat 7 which im currently just using manually and the timer is an Icon which is currently locked on heating (ignore clock as haven't set it whilst im having issues). Thanks for your help

Hi all, thanks for taking time out your Friday night - much appreciated. The switched live is from terminal 1 on 230v side and the 6 and 7 link is gone. The mid position valve is new and working properly. The timer controls the hw and heating independently and it's wired as the manual says...

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes, hes been back several times and we're scratching our heads now. The pump is a brand new Grundfos Alpha 1 and we've had it on 2 and 3 so it's not that. The display on the boiler control panel never goes off 5 so that says it's not hitting target temp...

Afternoon all, I've read plenty on here bout Intergas boilers, but nothing i'm afraid that has helped me, so i'm reaching out! In summary: I have a new HRE 18 OV boiler fitted on a Y plan system. Boiler ground floor. Cylinder and (new) pump directly above on 1st floor. Feed/expansion...
