Some of the posts confirm there is a lot to learn by some as usual! I once saw 20 pairs of Belmont valves (best valves that have ever been made) bunged up with hemp and boss white that I had to clean and fit appropriate new twin o rings on the spindles to render then as good as new. Sometimes...

I have a looks new Titan TTB288SDR sander. I used it for a few minutes and put it down and yesterday started using it and the motor or drive does not function correctly re the speed. I am angry because Screwfix have taken these off their catalogue..... I bought it because it has the hook and...

Its made at a different unit to Gotham Notts?Leicest) I was told plaster unit was not in operation till late May but the boards were being produced early May. I got two bags yesterday but had to buy board finish....... I was told the 3 or 4 pallets of multi finish had gone in one and a half...

dilalio don't you like the fact that I've said I've got a Gloworm heat only boiler which is produced by the same company i.e. Vailant? There is no need for a high handed attitude such as yours so stuff it.

New post, split from a hijacked old thread. Poster - nobody wants to read pages of a differrent problem from 3 yrs ago. Please supply fresh details. Mod ========================================================= I have the same fault on a Gloworm HXI 18 which I believe is the same as your fault...

I have a Gloworm HXI 18 that is second hand & I firmly believe no one who was called to look at the fault it had could resolve and cure it! I believe this Heat only Gloworm is the same as one or two Vailant boilers which is prevalent these days as the secret service of company buying is rife...
