Like for like (manrose cdt200) arriving tomorrow. And the xpelair ximx100 just listed on eBay

I have wired it up as you suggested. I did have to snap off a small plastic tab that was blocking the L1 terminal (you can just about see it in the photo ) to connectvgge wire. The fan continues when the light is switched off however it continues and doesn't time out. I've obviously done...

Thank you for your advice, much appreciated.

Correct, I meant brown, blue and green/yellow (with brown tape) It looks like flex but the other end is connected to the fan isolator switch.

I have an extractor fan in the bathroom ceiling which comes on when the ceiling light is switched on. The fan also has its own isolation switch. I need to swap the old fan out for a new one. I'm confused about colour coding in the wiring. As you can see from the photos tbe exiting wiring from...

When I say the ch mostly works when hw+ch are both on, I mean that just 3 of the rads near the pump come on. The downstairs rads remain cold, previously they used to get hot. I have tried the test that you suggested, I turned down the stat on the cylinder but the motor on valve did not move to ch.

It's the one on the left. A Honeywell .And yes ch does 'mostly'hot when the HW is on as well, but as we only used to have the hw on for 2 hours a day . Ch used to work better when hw was not on. To recap... Every time i swith heating timer on and I pull it towards me, it just moves back. I...

Thanks for the reply. Is there a test i can perform see if it is the motor and if it is, is that easy to fix/replace?

hello, id like to know how to rectify a problem with my MV. My timer appears to be functioning ok as it switches on the HW as programmed, However for CH the boiler is not firing up. Originally i though thus maybe a faulty room stat, however after replacing it the problem remains. So I set...

Hi, out of interest , what did you use for the base of your fire, I sw the question below that you posted. We have an open fire which the previous home owner had tiled the base with terracotta tiles. These have cracked from having fires and we are wanting to replace them with flagstones. What...

turned off the 4 working rads, and turned on the 5 offending rads which i have sense cleaned out properly with a pressure washer. The cleaned out rads are still not getting hot, neither are the pipes. 1. Next thing to try is my dodgy sounding pump, ill take the housing off this weekend and...

I always add inhibitor to the system whener i do a drain down. I normally put some straight into the rad seeing as how the water is not getting pumped to te rads anyway.

But if the water is flowing out of the pipes (valves) once the rads removed, does this not indicate that the pipes are not blocked? I will look into changing that once ive flushed the rads, Im afraid of getting crap in the pump though.

Hello, winter is coming, central heating still not working and so its time to my thread that I started last year. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=154465 Still only 4 of the 9 rads get hot/warm. So the problem is the same as I left it, however I am now doing some decorating and...
