Pump is on the flow. As it was before - no piping has been changed. Was not overflowing before - have powerflushed also - no blockages seem apparent. :?

Hi all, changed a system boiler today. No changes to the configuration of the pipes has been made. Changed the 3 port valve but A & B going in same direction of old 3 port valve. New flow is to old flow and new return is to old return. Pump speed the same. Water is now being pushed up the...

Corgiman, yup, mainly installing boilers for a living and as stated fairly inexperienced when comes to repairs - helps when have MI's. Gotta start somewhere I suppose!

Guys, am I missing something here :oops: - no permanent pilot? Mark

Hi all again, Called out to one of the above a few weeks ago. Customer said when tries to ignite, just keeps sparking. Tried it and hey presto ignited first time, tried it a few more times and it still worked. Customer rang a few days later and said not working. Went back, tried it and first...

Hi all, doing some landlord certs and came to one of the above and when tried to ignite fan starts, air pressure switch clicks, electrode sparks, but not igniting (gas valve not letting gas through?). Still relatively inexperienced :? when comes to repairs - please help!!! :cry: Any ideas...

Hi guys, a couple of q's for you if you can help. 1. Is there a recommended height for a border part way up a wall? 2. Is there a recommended time to leave lining papaer to dry before papering over it? Thanks in anticipation. Mark

Yes flow does get hot. Changed temp stat in boiler - someone old me I do not need to put conducting paste in when changing it so I did not. Would this have an effect?

Cheers for the advice - feel I am slowly getting there. There is a bleed valve on the flow to the HW cylinder. Every time I check this water comes out. It does sounds like gravel slushing about when running, I have auto bleed valves on the flow and return on the top of my boiler to try and...

Thinking of getting new pump (Grundfoss 1550 at present) as is noisy. Boiler is in loft and I think pump struggles to pump over 3 stories. It is on max. Also as boiler is in loft - header tank for CH is circa 2 feet above boiler so would this cause air ingress? System is also noisey. What would...

I have a Potterton Suprima 70. The boiler comes on and heats water/rads up as normal. In this weather I generally knock both onto constant. What happens then is the boiler will get upto a certain temp and then cuts on and off. It will run for circa 20 seconds then cut out for about an minute. it...
