Shower is a thermostatic one. Will try taking showerhead off today and see what happens, where would the filter be on the shower ?

Done some searching for answers on this but nothing quite has the same problem im having. Basically the boiler is working fine for heating, cold water and hot water but not for the shower. When i switch on hot tap, the boiler fires up, lights come on and water gets hot. When i switch on...

worktops were done last by a joiner, thats one job a little too skilled for me !! kitchen now totally finished and looking good if i do say so myself

thanks for the advice, no void at the back so i'll use the plastic corner blocks and a bit of liquidnails and tha should do the job

yeah sorry should have been a bit clearer, its the thin chipboard back of the units that i mean. because the unit in question is a return then that backing is now the main side that needs the end panel screwed to. i have the L brackets but cant see them being secured strongly enough through...

I'm pretty much completed fitting my new kitchen and just have 3 end panels to go on. So far all end panels have been fitted to the ends (naturally!) and are screwed through from the inside with no problems. However, these last 3 are fitted to a being fitted where the kitchen has a 'return'...

brilliant, just what i needed to hear today. kevplumb - i'll ask him to check that tomorrow and thanks for the advice

dont mean to be thick, but what does that mean ? tibbot - dont get me wrong, im happy to pay what it costs to get the job done properly. i just mean i cant afford to fork out money having expensive parts of the boiler replaced if that isnt that actual issue. beerlover - sorry no idea if he...

have a baxi105e boiler and am having trouble with the heating. - boiler pressure is fine - all rads have been bled - plumber has been out twice and replaced the pressure gauge which was leaking and today checked and adjusted the pressure on gas valve and he was confident that would sort...

quick follow up.......when the heating is put on the boiler fires up and flame comes on for about 10seconds then goes off. no warnign lights flash and lights on boliler are all normal but no flame on. when tap is turned on for water, the flame comes on and stays on and water is fine.

ok ive just a plumber out to check boiler and he says its the pcb, said it cant possibly be anything else. question is, if it is the pcb then shouldnt i be getting warning lights at some point? also, would the hot water still be working ? because it is. only problem seesm to be the hot water...

1.5 to be precise ! ive looked in the user manual and the operating procedure all seems to be fine and at no point are any warning lights coming on

currently its just over 1 bar

we have TRV's on 2 radiators but not on the other 6. ive now been round and bled all the rads and no air is coming out. the one and only radiator that is heating is the bathroom one which is next to the boiler, even with heating turned up full on boiler the temp is still only lukewarm at...

starting to get a bit cold so decided to stick the heating on for the first time in ages, boiler fires up and goes through correct procedure and no fault lights and all seems fine. however none of the radiators actually seem to heat up. ive gone round and checked the 4 upstairs and one in the...
