Cheers motorbiking

Title say it all - the minimum that I can find in spec sheets is 1.5 bar but you might know differently?

Thanks for the continuing replies. Just to confirm that the work was completed certainly before Nov 1985

Thanks, seems I am probably worrying unnecessarily

Ah that's encouraging, it's always good to hear from someone who has actually sold in similar circumstances

Thanks for that but the article seems to relate to planning permission (which we have) and doesn't mention our problem of building regs approval

In 1985 we had a bedroom built over the garage and the builder also knocked the kitchen through to an area that used to be a passage, coal store and downstairs loo. It was a turnkey job by the builder - planning permission was obtained, plans drawn up and the building inspector made his...

Yes, it's being delivered on Wednesday

Well it was £686. About £1050 usually and I agree that is too much. It has a long guarantee and I don't think I could have bought anything else decent for that outlay.

You certainly could. The other benefit I am finding is that the hot water comes through much sooner, as the source of heat is close to the place of use - I might leave the en-suite in this mode even when the new boiler is fitted...

Sorry for resurrecting this almost four year old thread but my boiler has broken and I'm using this project in anger - so glad I did it!

Thanks for this. It confirms my decision to go for a Greenstar i30, which I have been fortunate to obtain at a big discount through my son who works for a company related to Bosch.

Yes, the hot water side always has full power available. If I run the bath tap, then the same fault occurs. As I mentioned, the fault is also with heating but only when I set the boiler back to 24kW.

This problem has crept up on me. Glow Worm Ultracom 30CXi installed in 2007. I normally run the boiler ranged down to 12kW for heating and there have been no problems. Recently, when taking a shower, the hot water goes cold, maybe hot again once but then the boiler seems to go into "limp mode"...

Could well be in the market for a new boiler. These are cheap for a WB but are they a good buy?
