We are about to purchase a new gas fire. The one we are looking to purchase, is a Matchless Heat Machine VI DV Balanced Flue. The reason we are looking at this, is its excelent heat output. We are just wondering if anyone has had any problems with them. and are they reliable. Any feedback will...

Just had my roof re_tiled, with new facia bords and new guttering. we live in Lancashire, the prices are diferent all over the country. I have the prices in a topic I posted on haer, titled [A new roof tilled. Just 2 questions] You may like to look, it could give you an idea! we had 600 tiles...

Thank you. the tiles are Marley double roman slate grey. As I have said it looks a perfect Job, and we are more than satisfied. especially now, after what you have stated. Thanks again.

This last week, we have had the full roof re-tilled. After three quotes, differing between £3500 compleete, too £900 labour only. I took the labour only, as I was not working, I purchased the materials. The whole job, which was, re-felt and battons, re-tile, also new facia bords and gutters...

Firstly let me say the boiler is OK now,and thank you for your assistance. . I took your advice, and called in a Heating engineer. He diagnosed the flow censor, having spoken to Heatline. He ordered one which arived the following day. Fitted it, and it made no difference. He then told me it...

Is there any possibility, it is the diverter valve?

Hi. I just removed the heating sensor leads. Switched on the boiler, and it would not fire up, on CH. Replaced them and it fired up imediately. Which I guess, tells me the heating sensor is ok!

Thank you for your sugestion, slugbabydotcom. If you mean the DHW thermistor, it aint wet pocket. It is affixed to the pipe with a couple of clips, and on checking for resiatance.it is ok. Also when its wires are disconected, the boiler will not fire up at all, even for CH.

A self righteous attitude like that, is whet I dont need, but thanks anyway. , Yes sir, I do know, I should not have fitted it myself. but quite a few of us on this site, can ill afford to pay someone to do the job. That is why the site is called what it is! [DIYnot] I also realise, it is...

It aimt the motor on the end of the 3 way valve. I took it off and it was working. the spigot on the end of the 3 way valve, is free enough ie it pushed in under pressure, and sprang out with the internal spring ! , With no hot water, any sugestions, please foward to, Dirty mick, lancashire...

Thank you for your sugestion. I checked resistance between the poles on the switch, and all ok. Although it has rulled out the temp sensor, I am still no nearer. There is a 3way valve with a big electrical block on it, and I do not have any resistance through the 3 connectors on it, could that...

I forgot to add. When heating running, and HW called for, it over rides the CH and turns the burner off all together.

I installed a Heat Line C24 combination boiler, 7 month ago, replacing a baxi 100. Came home yesterday, no hot water. The CH is working, but not as efficent as it has been. The indicator lights on the front of it, are not flashing. I realise it is still under...
