humble pie required by me then. really doesn't say much about the attending engineer! really rather embarrasing. can only say that I couldn't imagine one of our engineers not knowing how to set up a g.v! ducking fimwit!

try to isolate the parts of system under floor.

hi cirks. as your other post has been locked, could you tell us what the outcome with your boiler was in the end, if it has been rectified at all.

you can speak to heateam to arrange for an engineer to return to check the integrity of the flue. a sample at the air inlet sampling point will tell them whether any products of combustion are present in the incoming air. If any are found this will usually indicate that one of the internal flue...

it is a simple test at the flue sampling point which is is carried out by a competent engineer using a combustion analyser. as said there are a several issues which can cause similar flame failure issues. The fact your boiler will only fire with the combustion box door removed, in my...

far more likely than not. cannot see how the new g.v could possibly have been set up though if products mixing. until someone tests the air inlet for flue gases we cannot be certain. I am unaware of any "common issues" on this blr which cause this fault, other than a faulty internal flue...

can I state for the record that faulty combustion door seals are not a common fault on this model at all.

I'm intrigued. so the boiler is obviously vitiating with the comb box door on. the "combustion seal" (i assume this is the burner door seal) has been checked and is in tact, but you do not agree that it is the flue? would have been a lot easier if the eng had checked the flue inlet prior to...

del.

hahahaha. thanks foxhole. was just looking for answer to same question only to find that you had already explained it so well.

del.

on the plus side, the main eco is a very good reliable boiler for the price.

just to reassure you about the thermistor warnign light. the boiler compares the temperatures measured at the flow and return thermistors to ensure flow rather than using a flow switch. as I think you've guessed the thrmistor itself is unlikely to be the fault

before doing that try moving any motorised valves into manual open position, vent any airvents in airing cupboard and re vent rads. try venting pump at bleed screw. hopefully you'll be getting water at all of these eventually. if the water doesn't come and you can't hear air hissing out of the...

I've had my skil circular for approx 10 yrs now and no problems at all. the clamps look a bit poney on the picture but for £80 if you get a couple of years good use you can't really grumble.
