the rats in the loft have chewed through the comms cable to the remote button. So although there is a sticker on the cable saying don't cut it, my question is can I solder the cables back together or use a connector block? Rather than try and run a new cable?

Got an issue with svp that builder fitted on brothers extension. Nowhere to terminate 4 inch vent and fitting 4 inch Durgo in en suite is a bit of a pain so am thinking of branching of in 2 inch and then a dugo. Anyone see an issue with that? Cheers, never done it like that before!

Could be the fan Venturi, ntc, or gas valve. No point guessing though so get an engineer in and let him find the fault.

The spreader is the moulding at the top outlet of the pan with the holes around the rim and is part of the pan and should not be loose or plastic. Sound like foreign media stuck to me!

Have you checked outside the building for a drain off? Sometimes we poke them outside. However what you plan to do is fine, you could put a nut and olive on the hose itself and connect it to the rad valve once you have drained the rad. Once connected, open valve and drain system! Easy but u dont...

We live in a world of paranoia! :roll:

I just fitted one at my house, its a 600x800 and the centers were 555mm.

Sounds like something has been stuck like you say. I've pulled stuff out of the spreader before, normally when kids put stuff in the cistern and it gets pulled through and blocks the spreader. You may need some ingenuity and patients if you want to fix it. Otherwise a new pan.

I would go with the prv!

I'm a Viessmann convert! Try a Vitodens 100.
