    Ideal Classic RS250 problem

    Not been on here for a while, just been out to a RS250 which is a bit older than the Ideal Classics i usually go to. No manual for it either. The pilot is lit, and the pump is hot, but running. I can get it to fire up, but it only stays lit for about 30 secs and then goes back off again. Has...

    Britony Combi 80 SE leaking

    Has anyone changed an air vent on one of these before? I have just been to one that is leaking from the top of the air vent, it is only dripping minimally, but as it's behind the pump and hard to get at, and the pdf manuals i have don't mention anything about changing this part, how do i do it...

    Baxi solo 2 50 pf not starting

    Thanks, i'd better get another sensor just in case the old board did take out the new sensor, as well as a board. She's given me £170 to get a new board tonight, i'll let you know if this fixes it.

    Baxi solo 2 50 pf not starting

    I know this was 3 years ago, but at the end you said it was the relay on the board behind the pot, and then you put that it was the thermostat sensor, which is clipped to one of the pipes at the RHS. Which was it? Was it the board or the T/Stat sensor? I have the exact same problem on one for a...

    cannon classic gas fire

    Does anyone on here have a pdf manual for this oldie but goodie gas fire? And if so, could you email it to me please. I am a member of the manual library, but they don't have it. I'm really wanting to know the depth that the opening should be for it. 10" seems to be the norm, but i just want...

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    Your'e probably all watching Shameless now, should have posted this a bit earlier. Got a Gloworm compact 80e where the burner won't go up to high flame. It stays on low flame on both DHW & CH. Any ideas anyone? I'm guessing the gas valve solenoid, but is there a test i can do first to make sure...

    Plumbing training courses / qualifications

    Someone has already said that the money is in the gas part of this job and it's true, but they forgot to mention that you have to re-sit all your exams every 5 years at your own expense (£2000ish) and you have to get your own gas safe every year (£200ish). If you become an electrician i think...

    They've been advertising for months on the jobcentre website, it's still there today. £18 for a service and £30 for a completed breakdown. They reckon you can earn £800-1000pw. You have to use your own van as well. And pass all their bloody tests before they even entertain you.

    DIY Not website question

    Tony can you answer this one for me. This CH thermistor was covered in black muck when i took it out, i cleaned it first before going to get a new one for the customer, but would the cleaned thermistor have worked if i had put it back in, or not? Put a new one in anyway, but i have been...
