Thanks for the replies. RE: anti-virus, I'm running AVG. The bit about the brain and the common sense worries me though. Thanks again.

I have seen something I would like to download. It's on a bit-torrent site. I gather that this form of downloading stuff isn't entirely legal. Apart from that, are there any/many security issues with downloading material in this way?

Update. While staring at the boiler in the vain hope that it would fix itself I decided to put the heating on. Noticed that bathroom radiator was starting to get warm so turned off bedroom radiator. Long story short, went round closing radiator valves until I got them all hot. At this moment all...

Have spent the best part of today researching boiler problems. I suspect that my particular problem may be related to the diverter valve and it's associated bits. Apparently I can get a repair kit so I'm going to give it a go. Can't be any worse off than I am now. O.k so I could lose the hot...

Two and a half hours browsing the web and reading the manual. I need a break as my eyes have gone funny. Out of curiosity, would this problem be caused by a failure of the pin in the diverter valve to return to its normal at rest position?

DP. I am in the north east of England. Going to do some serious browsing and manual reading today to see if I can find a fix. I have a number for a local company who apparently work on these boilers but that will have to be a last resort as I am pink lint at the moment.

Sorry, I have to go. too much SC and coke. Will pursue this further tomorrow before deciding if it's time for a new boiler. thanks.

Sorry I meant to say in previous post that temp gauge is broken. I'm into the Southern Comfort and Coke so I may vanish at any moment. I would just add that flow pipe in vicinity of boiler red hot to the touch.

Praise the lord,I was about to go to bed. Air vent is open. Boiler flow pipe gets very hot and as I say I can get heat to at least one radiator. I have listened to the boiler and there are no sounds of "kettling" just before it cuts out. Have been here five years and this is the fist time we...

I've done a search for Flowmatic and read all the pages. Can't seem to find a problem similar to mine. They all seem to be loss of either hot water, central heating or both. Apart from the lack of circulation to the radiators the boiler appears to work fine. I was starting to suspect that the...

Hello all. I have a problem with my central heating. My boiler is a Vokera 24/96 R S E Flowmatic. It operates fine for hot water but when I select the central heating it lights for 15 seconds then goes out for a minute, then repeats. As a result I can only get heat to one radiator, the closest...
