Softus you seem to doubt my ability to diagnose boiler faults. I am 44 years old self-employed and been a heating engineer since I was 16. Since I was 20 I have been working on my own unsupervised and diagnosing boiler and heating problems daily for a well established firm and then the last 15...

Chill out Softus, I was only reading his posts and going back to the point where his problems started. By doing this, you can build a picture of what the problems are.

Read his reply this morning Sat 11 at 5:41am Quote: No problem's as far as I can remember, then I got a new gas meter put in (pre-pay to quarterly) but the guy did not turn off the combi unit when he took the old meter out and put in the new meter, he then turned all the control knobs upto full...

Why dont you put the CH temperature control knob back to position two as it was before the gas man came. You did nt have a problem then, so go back to your initial starting point . Then run your combi for a few days and see how it performs. Please post your findings in a couple of days and we...

Nice post Chris, I reckon the MTBR on a Suprima must be 18 months to 2 years then! I,ve heard of some Suprima,s PCB,s failing under 12 months. Talking of PCB,s failing, starting to get more call for Glow-worm Micron,s PCB,s at about 30 month,s.

You cannot fit a board in a wrong way as all electrical connectors have a different type of fitting. The boiler simply would not work if the board was fitted wrong. The only scope for a mistake is on rewiring the mains cable, the pump cable and the switched live cable in to the hard wiring...

Why are you so desperate about this? Call the engineer back and have him check it out for you. Pump could be wired incorrectly to wrong terminal or board might have a fault.

Triton do a pumped electric version to meet your requirements. It is called the T80si pumped and is rated at 8.5 kw, they also appear to do a 9.5 kw version as well. Mira showers also do product called the Elite 2 at 9.8 kw. These showers have a built in pump and are specifically designed for...

Just spoke to customer who now tells me it broke down two days after installation and continued to do so in first year. They are not impressed with Baxi. Once again thanks ollski

Thanks ollski. Call to Baxi it is then!

If the noise was n't there before the pump was changed and now a new pump introduces a noise to the system, then may be the new pump should be questioned.

Had an enquiry from a new customer regarding the above boiler going off. Anybody serviced or repaired them as I normally deal with Worcester. If they are a nightmare then I will redirect them to Baxi. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

JohnD. By the sounds of it you must have a massive rambling mansion. I don't know how you find time to post on this forum. Every day you seem to have some sort of a problem or need advice on how to do things. Are you running a hotel, the list of jobs you have to do keeps getting longer. Good...

Nige F. Looks like it. :D
