yes I find myself running up and down the stairs a few times when I need to top up the pressure. I'm still waiting for engineer to come round :cry:

well it shouldn't be - the old filling loop should have been capped off. Didn't have an old filling loop?!? will ask why he put it upstairs in the airing cupboard.

Thank you kevindgas for the extra tip, I pressed the - button and its reads 2.1 bar, is that ok? The tap for increasing the pressure is in the airing cupboard next to water cylinder.

My original roomstat is over 20 yrs old knowing my luck its probably a 2 wire one. Does new cable mean making a big hole in the wall? is it a straight forward job? I'm looking at the Honeywell DT200 roomstat, a nice simple one...

thank you will tell engineer to check stat. Also I have a few other Q's 1. when I had boiler installed the engineer removed the smaller tank from the attic, can you tell me why I don't need it. 2. cannot turn down two radiators using TRV. Is it because its stuck!

Hi! I need some advice before I call the engineer out. I had the above boiler installed last year november. About 3 months later I noticed the boiler was taking too long to fire up when the temp had dropped. There's no problem when you switch the heating on for the first 2 hours or so, rads...
