Well i just turned the hot tap on and its now just fired up properly...... no idea what was wrong but its fired up now. :?

Ok thankyou! Congratulations on 19 weeks on not smoking. its my 25th week now.

Right new problem. I rechecked the diaphgram, just incase, and it was the correct way round ( this is just to stop the doubt in my mind). But now the gas chamber refuses to light but the small pilot light does ignite but nothing else..... I swear i never touched anything else!!!!. any ideas?

Worcester bosch 240 RSF prob about 10 years old. Is this some kind of airlock?.

Since replacing the diaphragm on the boiler and fixing the other faults i now seem to have a new problem. The hot water coming from the bathroom sink is fine but the bath hot tap hot water starts out ok but as it gets hotter it slows down to a dribble then stops and is much louder than it used...

:oops: Well im not a trained plumber and it was my first boiler DIY attempt! :D

opps yes i did place it in the wrong way round.

Sorry but i should of replyed!. It looks like the previous owner had been messing as i found the problem. The ignition cable running up from the switch had been cut at one point and had been resoldered badly and had come loose. I found it after taking the metal cover from the top chamber off...

Does anyone have any ideas????

Now just to muck me around even more it won't ignite for the central heating. I can hear it sparking up though.

When i press the switch manually i can here it trying to fire up but it doesn't ignite.

I can get hot water while the heating is turned on and i can see the boiler flame get brighter when both water and heating is on it won't fire up with the hot water on its own.....

i refit the old one. the switch seems to be ok.

right i have replaced it but now the boiler isn't firing up for hot water. The boiler is working for the heating just not the hot water. You can hear it click but thats it.
