is the waste coming up from the ground lead? if so you could chance putting a bit of plastic 4" straight into it and sealing the gap.. or maybe a pan connector would fit better.. or pan connector extension (incase you need to put a bend on later). obv if you can expose the waste underground to...

..could you put down a bit of DPC on the floor then put the legs on that? (A roll of damp proof course, the stuff they wrap the ends of joists in..) hope this helps u pal

hey plumb people, my friends sime format boiler has an orange led flashing which according to the manual mean a fault with the CH sensor. I have changed the CH thermistor and the light still flashes. the boiler pressure is ok. the combined pressure and temp gauge on the front of the boiler...

Right.. so a neighbour asked me to look at his hot water for him, says its not "hot enough". Its a brand new ariston ecombi 24 fitted to old pipework (not that old) it was an old vokera compact that was in before and the new boiler has been hung in the same place. he says the water was a "bit"...

check blow off and drain outside..

if the fan is moving freely and getting power then theres a good chance its the air pressure switch.. (assuming the venturis are not blocked)

this would normally indicate a leak somewhere on the system you could check the drain for the system incase its passing, also have a walk about and check radiators and any heating pipes that are visible. It could also be the expansion vessel thats faulty, either loosing charge through the...

..do away with F&E tank cap the mains feeding it and you can do what you like with the feed from the tank. loop the mains feeding the storage tank into the cold feed coming from it, I'm assuming it does your bathroom if its not mains already. you could take the flow and return from the...

.. try your luck with needle nose pliers if you can get a grip..?

try bleeding it from the air valve on the top insulated pipe at the front of the cylinder to get the air out the coil. also possible the pump is positioned in such a way that it is drawing air down the vent. just ideas mate cant be sure..

could be the air pressure switch or the gas valve..

blocked injectors? partially blocked burner? (the wee holes on that side lol)

could be a combination of venting a little, radiator weeping a little and possibly heat exchanger weeping a little aswell, but drying up before it leaves chamber.. I've seen it before..

I'm sorry i'm not 100% sure on this so wont answer! but you have to post a pic of the dog with programmer in mouth lol :lol:

old systems can have a radiator attached to the hot water circuit also and acts as a kind of bypass, its unusual that the entire 3rd floor would appear to be linked though... I'm not sure to be honest mate, I would have thought a faster pump speed or bigger pump would help get the heat round...
