My thanks to all 3 guys above. Electrician continues to work his way round the house. The IR readings in one or two cases are down but (he thinks) not enough to cause trip (?). They do seem to indicate damp / tracking as the readings fluctuate. Have particularly checked outside socket and...

Although similar to the Tripping RCBO thread, which I have read and tried to follow (I am a mechanical engineer, not an electrician!) this problem concerns a RCD that trips at apparently random times, usually when there is little being demanded eg in the middle of the night or in afternoon long...

Hi all you helpful guys! Sorry been away for a while as Agile noticed! Unfortunately the problem has not gone away. Very grateful for all your thoughts but as Agile says the conversation has wandered away from what I think is a fairly basic set of symptoms. The problem is that the boiler...

Thanks to Burnerman and to Agile. Burnerman, some answers - yes I can hear the water temp stat click when I turn it. Boiler has never overheated to trip stat. DHW is fine. Agile - As I am not a pro I am not sure of the significance of your point about NTC sensors. I was really hoping it was a...

Thanks oilhead. Room thermostat is connected to the appropriate terminals on the PCB, as per manual. Pump is working. With system 'on', for no apparent reason, pump sometimes stops a while after boiler has stopped firing and water in radiators does not circulate and gets cold. Turning the room...

I have a Worchester Heatslave combi oil boiler linked to CH system. Each radiator has a TRV. Towel rail has no TRV. No room thermostat. I found that after firing for a while and presumably reaching the set water temperature the firing stops and the pump switches off. With the pump off, the water...

Very many thanks indeed Kev. Griff

Hey! this is very much appreciated. I really did not expect to get help like this. Thankyou Whatever is easier for you. If its short than type it, but if you can send the book then that would be great. My email: [email protected] Many thanks!

Sorry, its the 26

Thanks for that, but as I am not familiar with the shorthand like "block", please explain in laymans terms. I presume your instructions apply to connections (terminals?) in the controller --- how do I get into the controller? !!

I have a combi, heating a small single storey cottage. All rads have TRVs. When the rooms are up to temp, the boiler and pump switches off. When rooms cool down again the system does not sense this and does not fire-up again (seems to have gone to sleep!). My theory is that the cool water is...

Thanks to both of the above. I was advised that because modern syphons are designed to flush less water (6 litres?), they will not flush the old design of toilet bowl successfully. If there is absolutely no danger of this then I will use a modern syphon. Any views on the flapper - it looks...

Hi, An old cistern (at least 10 years) has been moved and fitted without the overflow being connected! Not by me of course! I am looking for the best way of resolving this. Fitting a 'normal' outlet pipe through the wall is not possible. As I understand it, the modern syphon (with internal...
