Ha cool, thanks for the info! Would you have a link for the panels on Amazon? Thanks Laurent

Hi all, I need to retile the shower in my ensuite. It is a 3 panels shower + door. Don't have exact dimensions to hand but from memory each panel is probably 900mm wide. I was wondering whether i should retile or consider plastic panels like these...

Was thinking that maybe I could access it from underneath, i.e by disconnecting the pipe between the air separator and the pump (where it join at the top of the pump) and use the wire from there to try and remove the block and make it fall into a bucket or something...

Maybe a silly thought but if i have a solid block in my air separator or nearby, could I try using a drain cleaning wire from the F&E pipe down to the air separator? (although I think in the loft the pipe has a 90 degree or so angle so might not be easy...)

update: so i've let my boiler run all day but just for hot water only, not heating. When I got home, it was still working. So i've stopped hot water and put heating on and will see if it locks out. I have a magnetic timer in my kitchen, i've put it against the air separator. Didn't seem to...

Ok, not sure where i can find a magnet but will try! I'm probably not advanced enough to make an H out of the pipework (never done any pipe soldering) although have done some pressure fit connections before (like for fitting new bath, toilets etc.) I also saw some people putting some mains...

here it is :-)

Thanks all: To Agile's questions: yes i bled the pump. Pump seems fine. Not sure what you mean by air vents though. Are you referring to the ones on the rads? I bled those (starting from downstairs) and also bled the one near boiler. The gargling and banging I had in boiler seems to have gone...

Right, here is the outcome of this week end's fun... - I decided to try and drain my system, in case there was a block somewhere - took most downstairs rads out and gave them a good flush with hose outside. Lots of black water coming out. couple of rads have rust near the valve. - refilled the...

22mm I believe. Its a pretty standard 3 bed house, 10 rads, 2 x 2 way valve (I think its called S plan configuration)

Hi Agile, sorry i'm not sure what microbe is... I have started the system yesterday again and it ran for a bit, so I get hot water, rads work (bot super hot but warm) upstairs but stone cold downstairs. I checked the pipe coming the downstairs rads to see if they were getting hot near the...

Thanks Madrab. I have to say I am not sure I understand that part (for the Open vent instructions):"The main modification required is to isolated the F&E tank and open vent, otherwise the mains water would simply rush up to these points and run out the overflow pipe. This isolation is usually...

Hi all, Just joined this forum. I have a Potterton Suprima boiler (with upgraded PCB) which is causing me trouble... Just as background info, it has been serviced by BG, pump and electric valves and water tank all replaced recently. The heat in the rads is very low to a point where i usually...
