Hi, I have a ariston microsystem combi boiler. The boiler is in full working order. I have noticed a noise coming from the boiler that sounds like a bit of metal plate rattling. It is not very loud, but want to check it out. It happens just after the boiler stops burning gas. So for...

Yes that's it. thanks for posting the image. so this wouldn't be a problem. Ok thanks for your help

the existing filling loop is connected below the boiler. It connects a 15mm mains water branch to a 22mm tee-piece on the CH return pipe. I simply want to replace this filling loop with one that has a tee-piece so that I can take a branch off to connect to a expansion vessel. There will be no...

the valve is shooting water out when I press so def gone. As its a sealed system I was thinking of replacing my filling loop with one that has a tee piece as shown in my previous link. The non return valve will connect to the mains water pipe. The tee piece would then allow me to take a pipe...

I am planning to replace the filling loop and put one of these in so I can connect the expansion vessel below boiler. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23455/Plumbing/Boilers-and-Accs/Tee-Filling-Loop;jsessionid=KS2JBA4UKF2SICSTHZOCFFA This will save me cutting any of the CH pipework. The...

Hi all, I would like some advise on installing an external CH expansion vessel. Some background to begin. I have a Vokera combination boiler and it is loosing system pressure when the heating is on, as the pressure gauge reaches 3 bar and the pressure safety valve opens. I have checked the...

Boiler: Ariston MicroCombi 23MFFI The boiler serves 4 small rads, pipework is all 8mm microbore. A few weeks ago I added 3 TRV's to the radiators. Prior to this I had drained the system down. When filling the system back up I depressurised the expansion vessel by error thinking it was an...

You will need to contact a gas shipper such as BritishGas. They can provide a quote for the installation of the supply gas pipe and three gas meters. http://www.newhousingconnections.co.uk/home/home.html Your exisiting incoming gas pipe may not be big enough to cope with the load...

ok cheers for that. will go to a few breakers this weekend

My ford focus rear wiper blade sticks half way through its cycle. I then have to turn on/off again to get it to shift. It seems to be getting worse, could it be the motor or something else? Any ideas anyone?

I pressurised the expansion tank to 1bar last night then filled the system up to 1bar went through the routine of bleeding radiator valves then turned on the central heating. The pump seemed to have a air lock as it seemed to struggle. I took the front panel off and had a look at the AAV, which...

Ok, Cheers Breesey. I am trying to think as to why I have lost 0.2 bar pressure, could be that since I filled the system last week the automatic air valve has let air out of the system? Will re-charge the exapansion vessel as soon as I am home. Will also check the pressure release valve...

the boiler has a by pass valve fitted in
