well, Ive swopped the drums and the noise / sensation continues exactly as it was from both sides Note: they were fine and silent under initial gentle braking, when i heated them up with a bit of left foot braking the noise then happens everytime. So heat is the enemy, perhaps something...

Thanks guys From the benchmark / service book: the system was flushed with 'hyper flush llamco' (sorry its a scrawl) inhibitor used 'fernox' (no type stated, just fernox) A fernox sticker on the base of the boiler stated CLEANED WITH: 'fernox restorer' PROTECTED WITH:' fernox...

your opinions please, while I wait for the cogs of waranty world to turn. My 6 month old Glowworm 15HXi has developed a purring/rumbling/ vibrating noise at the top of its temperature ramp up,(like an idling diesel transit at its worst) was lasting for about 3 degrees on the temp readout and...

i've not been able to get near the car today but if theres no rain in the morning I'll be on it doing what i stated earlier as soon as.... I know where I could get a DTI but not till next weekend and would need to take the drums back for a swop before then. if the old ones function fine when...

Thanks guys, The drums and shoes are new, unipart branded, from a unipart shop so I feel I should be able to trust them. I have no means of testing their roundness or concentricity - I do have a mic but is that not only going to tell me the drum wall thickness which could be uneven without...

I am hoping that I am being blatantly blind to an obvious solution to this, bear with me there’s a lot of info here: Astra 1.7TDI, 2000 reg. 100k miles Routine inspection of rear brakes inspired me to replace the shoes, since the drums were lipped and new ones were only £30 pair I decided to...

Don't worry, could have been a good idea if you were just around the corner!

fancy coming to blackpool give me a quote then?

Are you really in Lancashire?

Thanks for that, when the radiators were fitted I purposely oversized them 10% for their locations, all underfloor pipes have 10mm or more insulation. They are, however, all 15mm so I am aware there is a lot of water in the system. Considering the systems general cleanliness do you think it...

Quote excludes power flush (this is quoted as a significant additional cost so not sure I'll bother - see below - what do you think?). All radiators and tanks and most pipework have been replaced in the last 2 years, cylinder doesn't have part L compliance sticker on but has blue/green foam...

I have been quoted £2300 for a new glow worm 15 hxi (system to be converted to fully pumped s plan with pump. motorised valves and bypass fitted adjacent to boiler). Does this sound about right? Also, is a 15 hxi sufficient for a 3 bed semi with 10 radiators?
