If they are corgi registered they will be reputable, cowboys don't bother to pay all that money to register to a trade where a mistake can easily land you with a jail term!! Phone a couple of lpg cert. corgi installers in the yellow pages and ask for their recommendations on a replacement they...

valiants are my favourite at the moment......found baxi's a bit tempremental.The best thing is to pick a boiler suited to your needs then do a web search on it, boilers generally are made with a duff component if they are going to go wrong and tend to be good or bad by models rather than brands...

basically yes!

post an email address and i'll send you my picture of a y plan wiring diagram if that's any good to you

hard to say without knowing the type of cylinder,even if it is a standard looking indirect cylinder it may be a higher grade if you have more than a standard head pressure of water which could easily double the cost. there are so many variables on it you'd need to provide more info. What I...

you may find a short piece of vertical pipe with a screw cap on your pipe work some where, open this up to let the air out. If nothing (air nor water) comes out make sure the rubber seal is not stuck over the hole sometimes a very gentle nudge down the pipe with a nail will clear any blockage...

turn off your mains water and hunt for a drain off valve...it could be anywhere in the pipework not just the rads but it will be on your lowest point, although it wouldn't be the first system I've seen with no drain off!.You can open the bleed screw on the lowest rad stick a bucket under it and...

Heating it with a soldering torch may let you break it but it's a 50/50 chance you'll either break the seal or rip the cylinder!.Even if you call in a plumber he will tell you that he will probably rip your cylinder so prepare yourself for a hefty bill. Why do you need to replace the immersion...

Keep bleeding the rads and the system vent plus maybe a bleed on the boiler.The system will be making air for a while because you have refilled with new oxygenated water which will release air as it boils which you will need to bleed off.

Does it have an electronic control panel?

No I'm having a bad thread aren't I?. buy 2 radiator thermostats or similar and strap one to the flow and one to the return with the flow valve full open and the return (lockshield ) closed.Open the return valve on the closest rad to the boiler until the temperature is around 20 degrees...

oops I said furthest....sorry.You need to start nearest get a drop of about 20 degrees f and then work to the furthest,then go round them again!

That would be a combi boiler and electric shower then.The only problem with combi's is they are not suitable for heavy demands on hot water due to the fact they heat it on demand and also when they do get a demand for hot water it temporarily diverts it from the heating,so if you have several...

Hi Breezer I could never get your links to work,but i've just worked out you have to copy and paste into the address bar to get them to work,if you just click them they're dead.Well they are for me anyhow!

I think there is a filter before the divertor valve aswell...have you tried cleaning that?
