Hi Tony, thanks for the comment. Just to clarify, he sprayed the "Air pressure Switch" not the fan (when the Boiler was off). Does that make a difference? Cheers

Hi, Thanks for your comment. To answer, no I couldnt hear it. I phoned up a CH Engineer that I've used before and he came around first thing. He had a look around and the fan seems to spin fine if pushed but he said there's an Air Pressure Switch that wasnt working. He sprayed it with...

Hi All, Got an Ideal Classic FF40 Boiler that doesnt seem to want to light up. I noticed tonight that the water pressure had gone down to around 1/2 bar and the boiler wasnt heating up. I fed some water in the system but the boiler still didnt fire up. The themostat clicks when I move it...

Wow, thanks for the quick response Guys. Whats a filling loop? I fill the system by a valve upstairs next to the hot water tank. Just so I've explained things right, it seems to have been a leak from a small bit of black plastic that I screwed down by hand, right at the top of a chunk...

1) Boiler make / model (gas or oil) : Ideal Classic FF40 Gas 2) What is / is not happening. Woke up this morning to find a puddle of water under the boiler. Had a look inside and it seems to have come from the top of the boiler. At the top theres a cover behind which is the Red...
