Funnily enough my heating dosent seem as warm and I think it takes longer to get up to expected heat, but was thinking that was in my head.

ah i see it, good avice ola&bold what spares should i be looking to buy?

great info guys, is this non return valve on the diverter valve assemble or somewhere else. thanks so much for the help.

Hi yes I did replace the diaphragm as part of the rebuild kit.

anyone? i have an easy fix as the boiler is old and dont really want to spend any money on it. glue suitable length tubing in the end of the push rod so it dose active the switch but id like to know if there is a reason for it still not activating the switch?

With hot water off with hot water on and you can see it not reaching the micro switch any ideas??

Its a vokera maxi. i thought i had some on my phone but they are blurred. Ill take some tonight.

Ive only been able to get hot water when i put the heating on for some time now. So after some investigation it seemed a likely culprit would be a stuck diverter valve. So i got a rebuild kit and took it apart and fitted it back in the boiler. This dosent seem to have fixed the issue. My...

that looks it would suite most, reason i went down heat exchanger route was it meant it was one piece less off kit i had to cart about, not bothered about cost, im only using it when leaving to return home so have to start the engine anyway. i have it installed now for testing and alls good...

sorry you are right it dose get connected to the heater matrix supply, my mistake. run the engine for 5 minutes and you can get a shower good enough to wash the mud off to give a decent journey home.

it works fine thanks, the only disadvantage is the engine needs to be running to get the water up to a usable temp. not a power shower granted but usable one when camping for a few days. thanks for the help where provided.

good points. when shower is not in use then the hotwater from the engine will just circulate as normal through the HE. Not knowing much about HE would this damage it, if so ill build in a divert valve (prob do it anyway now). The HE and piping will hold up to the pressure.

ah ye i could do that couldnt i :-)

Im sure someone can easily answer this. I have an old heat exchanger i want to use in a project for my truck. The heat exchanger has three, what looks like compression fittments and one screw fitment. what adapters do i need to connect hoses to all four outlets? for those that are interested...
