Its a Fuel Saver MkII, I'd imagine it's the house original about 20 years old.

When you say usually, does that mean there is a possibility of doing myself?

Thanks for your reply Chris. I've just done a bit of searching and the thermo comes up a alot! Bugger :( Let's hope the girlfriend doesn't mind a bit of cold till Monday!!!

Hi all I have a bit of a problem with my boiler. Earlier today I changed the 3 way MV as the old one had been playing up. I turned the CH off, turned the mains power off, drained and flushed the system, fitted the new MV. After refilling the system turned on the all the power and...

Sounds like it, thanks again :)

Thanks again. I'll keep my eye on it, see how things go. If not I'll replace the whole thing after learning how to drain down the system properly!!! PS. Completely off topic! How do I tell if I have a sealed or un sealed system? We have a boiler in the garage, airing cupboard with...

Thanks Seco, fingers crossed. It was only the bit inside (forgot the name) replaced last year not the whole MV or head on the top.

I hadn't thought about muck in the system. Hopefully it should all be ok now. If it happens again do you think it would be a need for changing the whole thing rather than just buying a new head? I was hoping it would be the head at fault as changing that would be no problem, I'm not too...

Apologies for starting another Motorised valve thread! I've had a good search through so think I know what the problem is but wanted some opinions please. We moved into our house about a year ago. We had some problems with the general heating but after changing the MV actuator all...

Seems the same as mine, shame really but not the end of the world. If I did it again I think I'd go for a 2mm gap. Shrinking was the only thing I didn't think about when building the deck!

If it helps I layed a deck in March this year. I used 5mm spacing between boards. I'd now say the spacing is about 10-11mm. A bit too much for my liking. A bit late to worry about it now though. I was hoping they might go back a bit, does anyone think they might?

Is the dead side getting the same amount of light and air or the rest? All I can think is maybe it's the side in the corner?

I've used them in the past at my old house and was very impressed. I recommended them to my Mum who's lawn was in a terrible state, mostly all weeds. She has been using them for about 3 years now and her lawn is amazing, really thick, no weeds. I've just had my first treatment at my new house...

I thought the Oil would give it a slight colour too, is that not the case?

Thanks for the information :wink: I'll post some pics up when I get time.
