thanks, I'm a bit concerned it may be tracking along the CWI, but no sign of dampness on the inside walls ?

I first noticed it last year around August, it was much a smaller patch then, just above the third airbrick from the left.

Hi, and thanks for the reply. No, this photo was taken today, and it's just been raining (slightly) off and on here for the last day or so, and dry for the past week, so there's been no splashing from the path. As you can see from the path, the rain doesn't drive into the direction of the wall...

Hi, I have damp patches on an external wall, however no sign of dampness on the inside wall. I'm wondering if the damp course may have failed, however this is the back elevation of the bungalow which doesn't get battered by the weather and all other elevations are ok. We do have cavity wall...

Hello There, I had this problem 2 years ago, Worcester Bosch changed both the stat and programmer, however suddenly the problem is back. I've changed the batteries and re-learnt the programmer - stat, to no avail. I think I'll concede it's a Wi Fi issue so the question I would ask is: Is...

Hi, Bad news I'm afraid. The roof is still condensating although nowhere near as bad as it was with the plastic stuff. It will probably be OK again in a month or so because it's only ever condensated in the very cold winter months. It's freezing cold in the loft so I don't think hot air...

Hello again, The worcester bosch engineer came out and changed the stat and programmer under the warranty with no problems or arguments. Obviously, thats all you can ask of them, so i'll see how it goes. All was good last night but if there are further problems it must be down to the strength...

Hi Keith, Yes, I've done the same, but i think rubbish kit is putting it mildly if it can't go through a plastic flap and cupboard door. I've also disconnected the wireless router, and that didn't help. As of last evening I have the stat 5 feet away from the boiler and it seems ok. Even in...

Hi, A little advice needed again please if possible? Does anyone know if you can replace the RF stat with a hard wired version, whilst still keeping the programmer. Thanks, Dave

Hello again, Thought I would post an update if it can be of help to others. I had the whole roof re-tiled, re-felted with the breathable type (not sure of the brand) and battened and in the summer. All the old monorfol sheeting was removed and up to now there has been no condensation and...

Hello again, Has anyone come up with a solution for this? My stat now seems to lose communication, but then re-connects when the test scan (red flashing led on boiler) occurs about every 5 minutes or so. I've changed the batteries to no avail. Very odd?

Hi, I also am having a problem with the wireless stat and programmer. When mine lose communication, the central heating led flashes green and the 'CH' and antenae symbols on the programmer flash. Is this the same with anyone else's? I have spoken to worcester bosch technical...

Is the old bitumen type felt still available, it seems these problems are with all newer types of felt? my house has been partially re-roofed. I have the original tar based felt on one half of my roof with plastic on the other and it's raining with condensation on the half with the plastic.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I will measure the rate tonight when I get home. Hopefully mine will be the same problem, which can be sorted as yours was. I would have thought that there would be some sort of restrictor in the boiler which would limit the incoming mains flow rate in the event of...

Hello there, I have a 25si which gives a great output for the heating, but the DHW never gets so hot that you have to take your hand from under the tap, even after it's been running for 2 minutes or so (and that is at the kitchen sink which is roughly 4 feet away from the boiler). So it seems...
