Excellant, thanks for the diagram, greatly appreciated. The taps are all being replaced today as it happens, so I may have a clearer picture from tomorrow. Does anyone have any idea where I can get one of the wax capsules at a reasonable price? With the first rad getting hot when filling...

I suspect that measured at the stopcock in the street the pressure would be considerably higher, the flow rate certainly would. One of the problems is that these houses are over 100 years old and the feed from the stop cock goes to the old washrooms at the rear of the house, now my bathroom...

I can check the static pressure as this is the maximum that the mains will pressurise the central heating part of this boiler and that is at just over 2 bar. The house is an old terrace and shares a water feed with next door, most likely lead pipes. There is no blockage in the cold water...

The actual flow rate is 8.5 L per minute on cold and 4.5 L per minute on the hot. I do not have a manual for this boiler, found one for the 80 which seems similar so will try to find the wax flow restictor that you mention, also the diverter valve. Again thanks for your onging assistance

Thanks for the advice I have disassembled the inlet isolator and cleaned it all, but there was no blockage there. I have tried to read up on the various formus and people are talking about three way valves being stuck etc, however this boiler does not seem to have a three way valve, it would...

Hi I have had the Potterton for about 4 years now, and the hot water flow rate has dropped quite substantially. I have tried removing the heat exchanger and descaling it, but to no avail, the flow rate is still low. Is there any other valve that may be sticking that could slow the water rate...
