Thanks to everyone for their reply. I'll Probably look in to adding another valve, Whats advantageous about this Y-Plan anyway? Surely just double valves on the old system I've got will work to the same effect/efficiency? I'll throw some cleaner in there and see what happens, I'm assuming...

Ahaa! That is the wiring! its a delicate setup :shock: I've checked the wires too and from the 2 port valve (except the orange wire that goes nowhere, its all wired as is here "http://www.jturnbull.net/c_heating/sp_hw.htm") The timer goes directly to the boiler from what I can tell...

:( Ohh, shame, I was hoping to achieve something a bit cheaper (obviously at 65% efficiency its not going to be a great saving!) Could I switch that 2 port valve over on to the hot water pipe so I'm able to shut it off for most of the day? With regards to RAD balancing, I tried every RAD...

Some photo's (never done this photo linking thing so it might not work (this is a hotlink, -apparently) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us You can see the pump to the left of the old beast, the pipe splits in to two after...

b.t.w Its only heating a small 2 bed bungalow not a big place, and I turn off as many rads as I can, including extras to boost the temps down the far end of the house.

Hi I'm guessing its fully pumped? there is a pump, then it goes in to 2 and then in to the two sides of the boiler at the bottom (Panda 65 oil) and then two pipes come out of the top, one has the valve in it. D_Hailsham! Yes thats my valve! bengasman POSSIBLY a very old system, from a...

Hi folks!, I've a few quirky issues with my boiler since I moved in and I've spent all evening buffing up on central heating tech and terms and I think I've diagnosed the issue. I would greatly appreciate if one of you kind people could tell me if I'm right or wrong. Just to let you know...

Hi folks, As you know the condition of my washer isn't great, I've eliminated the suspension rod issue and they are apparently fine (either that or the new ones are just as bad as the old) A new development. Now when I put my hands inside the drum through the door and press hard a...

Hi guys, I'm hoping by adding another reply I might get a bump up here on the forum :D and since I've just found out I'm being made redundant in 5 weeks, I'm hoping my problem can be solved without needing a new machine or engineer Again, many thanks

Hi again, I've got these suspension legs and installed them. They don't seem to have any more resistance than my originals, and compress with the same force and rebound at the same speed. there is not really any sort of damping effect from what I can tell but obviously I can only move it as...

Hi Rocks1, I've read a fair few of your other posts/replys before starting a thread here, i must say your a real credit thanks for your time. I've turned it upside down and taken the bolts off, I can push the bits down ok but can't angle them at all to get them off, the seem to be...

Hi, Thanks for that fast reply! I've had my hands inside, I've tried pushing the drum up and down (reffering to the inner spinning bit, and the outer metal non spinning bit where the seal is) as there is no loose movement at all, it will move a bit but its clearly under tension...

Hi, I have a problem with my Hotpoint WM54 banging like a jackhammer on spin. With the top off I can see the rear of the drum is moving in a sort of left right, front to back wobble and the motor occasionally touches the side or back, but I'm fairly sure the severity of the noise...
