Yeah, I'm not going to touch anything else in there. I just saw the flame was a bit yellow and lacking oxygen so I thought I'd clean the nozzle. I can't be 100% certain that it is giving the correct pressure reading without attaching a gauge but the system is definitely pressurised. When I...

Hello, thanks for the response. I had a go at pulling the button out (it appeared to be out anyway) and it didn't make any difference. I gave the injector, electrode and thermocouple a clean but that didn't help with the main burner coming on, but it did help the pilot light, which has a nice...

No it does not fire up for domestic hot water or central heating.

Hello All, I emptied the system in my flat to replace a radiator. Once I was done with that I refilled the system and bled the radiators and the pump. I tried firing up the boiler but it didn't ignite despite the pilot light being on. A few things: Pump is working Fan is working It took me a...

Hello, Is there such a thing as a three terminal outlet plate? Let me explain further.. Lets say you have a 3-pole fan isolator switch with a permanently live, switched live and a neutral wire going to a extractor fan positioned in a window. There's two terminal and earth outlet plates, but I...

Just thought I'd update this. It turned out to be the microswitch and the diaphragm that was bust/perished. Switched them out. It was a straightforward job and everything has been running great since.

Hi, I'm installing a new toilet with a concealed cistern. I'm having a problem with the flush pipe, i.e., I cut it too short. :lol: So, I need to replace it. I've got a couple of questions on flush pipes. My flush pipe has different diameters at both ends. It tapers from the cistern end to...

Thanks for the replies guys. The boiler hasn't lost any pressure that I can see. I closed off all the radiators and the boiler stops firing up, so it seems to be working in that respect. The actuator that pushes the lever on the diverting valve seems to move when I turn on the hot water, so does...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what is going on with my boiler. A number of strange things have been happening. A few nights ago I came out of the shower (water heats from boiler) and noticed the central heating had turned on. I checked the thermostat and was switched right down...
