There are 2 options in the troubleshooting flow chart for "Neon A Illuminated Continuously" in HW mode only... they both ultimately end in "Replace PCB" as the other options (i.e. ignition / gas flow) as probably OK. Some ideas on other tests to complete or recommendations on how/best ways to...

We have an Alpha CB24X which has been installed for about 4/5 years. Today the Red Neon light came on when turning on the hot water tap... the water failed to heat and the boiler fan etc eventually turned off. The boiler has been in hot water / central heating mode since I can remember. I...

Well the weekend fell in the wrong place for the delivery, but the tool and larger attachment turned up today and I have just finished sorting out the joint. Unfortunately the space it too tight to actually remove the trap (probably would come out if the base was unscrewed) but the tool...

Yes, it would seem that way. ordered them from Tooled Up. That should just about complete the plumbing toolkit I have had to purchase lately, nearly every tap joint in this house has had to be re-fitted, the bath waste unit also leaks and is next on the list, added to this shower now I think the...

Thanks for the input - looking at it, getting it apart properly will require removal of the cubicle, unscrewing the chrome drain then removing the shower tray (if it wants to come away). Then undoing the joint, replacing washers etc then putting it all back together? I presume I can connect the...

I have found some of those in various sizes on the tooled up uk website, the only one which 'may' work is the baby one but its a long shot. If I am able to get enough purchase on the nut to turn it, would it be wise to loosen it off and add anything to the thread before re-tightening it? I...

Thanks, Yes the leak is definately coming from the threaded joint between the waste pipe and the trap. My hand would not fit but the girlfriend was able to tighten the ridged nut a little but there is a lot of thread showing on the trap which it could tighten on to. The connection between...

Hello, I hope someone can help me, just found water running down a wall directly below our shower room. The shower is a square cubicle with the drain in the front right corner of it, near the door. Only bought the house a couple of months ago and so still finding all of these lovely problems...
