Thanks Ian, it will be life saver for me, if it is that simple. Only thing is I don't where it is how to reset it. Can you suggest please.

Many thanks. I understood those points. But I just would like an awareness of the possible cost involved. Because of the time of the year, I just would like to get it done. My house built in 1930's, solid brick, 120sqm ish, the temporary electric heating's almost have no effect. About wanting...

Many thanks. I will not try to do it then. Can you please suggest how much it should cost. I already found part is available (with same PIL 907704 and GC number 395-796) at Plumbase for £106 incl vat. Considering this is the only part required how much a GasSafe registered person should charge...

Hi, I went to the loft yesterday night, take the boiler facia out. And found the gas control valve is made by Honeywell. I also found Plumbase sell that for £106. Can I change it myself or I need a Corgi registered gas technician?

So, Honeywell and White Rogers valves are interchangeable without extra work? Does it matter what is currently installed?

Hi, I have similar issue with Potterton Profile 80e. The boiler is trying to fire but can't. Thermistor is calling for heat. Both Hot Water and Heating is down. I called a Plumber he listened to the sequence and said fan, pump etc is working but the Gas Valve is the problem. The boiler is in the...

Hi, I took a picture of the inside of juction box, everything seems connected except terminal 8 which should connect to programmer HW-OFF. In terminal-16, GY colored cable is already used for non-earthing purpose. Is it really "prohibited" to use other purpose even it's labelled/marked properly...

Thanks for the replies. The gas meter is still inside, it just moved in between the metal garage door and middle wall. 10mm seems too thick, is it in regulation? I will visit the property on this Wednesday when I can check whether there is any bonding outside of the building. But I thought the...

Hi, Recently, Gas safety was checked in my rented property. He noted "Gas meter not bonded" in the fault section. I am bit surprised by it, as I knew all Cu pipes were bonded during last electrical safety checking. Then I recalled about 3/4 months ago the national grid guy moved the gas meter...

Thanks for all information. Before doing anything I will take the picture of junction box's inside. It is in the loft. I need to wait till Tuesday to arrange battery operated light and right time to switch off whole house power. I think my main problem will be taking cable from programmer to...

I am now thinking running a extra cable may not be too much. I can make 2 holes at the top and bottom of the kitchen wall cabinets. I can keep original one as it is. So, question is what spec single core cable I should buy? About using the earth wire: The earth is coming from the socket below...

I appreciate quick response. I already ticking off box like I have fully pumped system. I tried to look at the web for Y-plan. Am I missing a connection at terminal-1 (HW-OFF) at the back of LP241 (in picture 1)? It seems, I have 5 core wire coming from top of LP241. If there is not another core...

Hi, I read previous thread which seems similar to my problem but I can't get exact answers. I moved in a house already 2 years and noticed central heating can only be switched on when hot water is also on. I have Lifestyle LP241 programmer. Hot water can run independently but not central...

thx Crank39 for the link, I actually missed it before. It helped me in understanding the phenomenon. I will keep it for future reference as well. I already okayed the agent to do the work. Thank you all.

Thx, that's right I need to take it to my insurar but £50 repair cost is not worth taking to them as there will be increase in premium for the next year plus time. I mainly interested to understand whether there are genuine issues or, my tenant is not caring enough. Anybody knows whether...
