:wink: We are all equel, just that some are more equel then others !!:lol: Thank you Sam,Tony,Dave,Tom,Sam,Cuthbert,lloyd,Peter, Floyd,Princess, and my long suffering wife :wink: Have I left anyone out :?: Thanks once again to all who contributed, Oh, anyone know where one can get spares...

Have checked and Tony is correct, thank you, now have a way forward,have the water heating unit capped off as it looks as if at some stage it has leaked. Anyway the electrics are all shot. Unit is a Minarva WAE/C :lol: Would like to thank all those who replied for their help and assistance...

Thanks Tony will investigate tonight. I am sure when I say no header tank anywhere in the loft and not near the cylinder. There is no cold outlet from the header tank on the cylinder, but will have another crawl around, thanks for the tip

Yes it is warm air central heating which is working O.K. :oops: Are the coil pipes connected to the unit ???? Controls on the unit are shot to hell, some one has been messing with the wiring behind the control dial on the front of the unit. :cry: Thought of an indirect system being connected...

Could try cracking the couplings I suppose, if water comes out I will know they are still wet :lol:

I am planning on installing a combination economy 7 cylinder in the loft and removing the existing from the bathroom to free up space. The existing tank is a combination indirect, not vented, with economy 7 immersion heaters. Now the fun starts ! :lol: There is no boiler in the property ! The...

I have re phrased the question, i hope with some clarity, anyone willing to answer ? or is the question still unclear ? :wink:

Well, forgive me, should have made it clearer: The tank Issue Can I do away with the cold feed from the header tank and re-connect the cold feed to the mains. What would be the best type of tank to replace the existing: A tank direct connected, such as whats advertised as a Economy 7...

I am planning a total make over of our small bathroom, first job is to remove the tank from the airing cupboard and relocate into the loft, easy I thought, the tank is immersion only and has the cold water header afixed to the body of the tank. Ha I say, Economy 7 direct coupled will do the job...
