i know!! they were heatline vizo last time I was in there!

combi is hot water priority - if washing machine draws hot water the heating will be off for a bit.

at 400 quid! lol

Lol nice one!!! :) No I really want another combi to practice on/test etc - I have 1 already but has a flow switch and no diverter valve/plate heat ex!

hiya Does anyone i west London know or have an old combi boiler (scrap) available that they would sell? Preferably with a diverter valve and plate heat exchanger in. Thanks

ok thanks for your help and time mate.

Some combis use a flow switch to activae the igniotion for hw (direct combi and no dhw heat ex) or a lot use a diverter valve (and microswitch) with a plate heat exchanger to heat up the hot water (indirect) - but this one uses both - my query was why? or what's the advanatge!

i know how it fires up but usually with a diverter there's a microswitch that it trips - just wondered why this boiler had both a DHW flow switch AND a diverter valve!

Thanks for your reply mate I know how it works but usually you have a flow switch (direct hw) or a plate heat ex. and diverter valve - but what's the advantage of having both?!

What's the point / advanatge of having both a DHW flow switch and a 3 way diverter valve on this combi? I just wondered while looking through the manual - I have known some to use both - but just wondered what the point/advantage was really?

how much would it cost roughly to go out with a breakdown engineer ? I understand it's their knowledge and experience.

Quite sad isn't it that someone who really wants to become a good breakdown engineer and have a chance of getting a job with a firm, can't get any experience with a pro! I've done everything on my own that I can, studied books/manuals/dvds over 2 years, got hold of an old boiler to test/take...

undercut you? why do you say that? I'm not that type or person mate.

Hiya Are there any boiler breakdown engineers in the London/Middx area?

Thanks for all of your kind replies. I'm trying to volunteer myself to go out with a breakdown engineer a couple of days per week, if anyone knows anyone it would be so helpful! I've got some manufacturer courses booked up, Glow worm and Vailant at Slough and Worcester CDi range at...
