Got you - thanks. So what would the normal process be for draining the system (without it automatically filling back up) in order to add a new radiator?

I've found and fixed the problem... :-) I looked up Candy/Hoover error codes on the web - - and found two flashes means the machine isn't filling properly. So I took the lid off the machine (3 little bolts at the back/top, then the lid slides backwards, then lifts off) and saw there are two...

We've just bought a Candy GO F 662 washing machine, second hand. It worked fine for the first 3 or 4 washes, but now it's just stopped. When I try and start a wash, the "Door Security" light, the "Max" light and the "3h" light stay on - see photo, below. Water does flow into the "washing...

Can anyone advise how to find/access the water pressure gauge on a ProTherm GlowWorm Ultimate 50 boiler?

CG, Thanks for your help. I turned it on again this morning in order to answer your question and it now runs fine! Am going to get the boiler serviced and the system flushed (as new radiator needs adding to the system anyway). Thanks again! :-)

Cheers, yes we bled the radiators.

After finally fixing a problem with our old boiler, we've been able to turn the central heating on today for the first time in about two years. The boiler seemed to fire up OK, but the radiators didn't get very warm at all. Given that the whole central heating system has been inactive for...

My Vokera Option boiler was playing up for a while - only heating water for a short time (just enough for a quick shower) but now it's not heating at all. There's a red flashing light so I opened the front panel and saw the water pressure was at about 0.8. So I let some water through and...

Thanks for the replies. The roof is about 5m by 4m. I was quoted £1,000, but I haven't paid him yet. I've had a couple of independent roofers out and they pointed out a few other things and both said they would be embarrassed/ashamed about doing the job like he's done. My dilemma is...

Hiya, Whilst having my dormer re-cladded, I realised the dormer's flat roof probably needed replacing too. So I called out a local roofer and he said the flat roof was indeed knackered. He also pointed out how it slope backwards slightly (towards the roof slates), rather than sloping forwards...

The drive belt seems fairly tight. Should I make it really tight? Cheers, James

Hiya, I have a NEFF V4380 washer dryer. There is a problem with the spinning - it spins much slower than it should. Does anyone have any ideas? It has had new motor brushes fitted recently, but that didn't help. Thanks in advance (if you reply!!). Cheers, James
