Hi Have a Pit in my garage, that is getting water in, mostly when it it rains heavy or rains for a long time, it is leaking through the breeze block sides , ( I did put some Visqueen around before bricking !) usually from about 2 bricks up from the floor, it will fill higher if left to. Wanted...

Hi Thanks for that it does in a way, but mine is a Fuhr Gearbox, so not the same type of conecting it . cheers Spike

Hi Have just fit a new Latch Gearbox for my Euro lock on my uPVC door, it all works ok , but the 2 point locking mechanism keeps sliding down with its own weight and bring out the locking points, it is just not staying up when opened, there is no resistance to hold it up , ! as per vid attached...

Pipes Clang ( don't know if it is the valve banging !) when the Boiler fires up first thing in a morning for HW !.

When the heating is shut down on a night and there is no power to the Actuator, the spring will pull the valve back to the HW position, that is the default setting ( HW prority ) !.

I don’t put the HW on, when the boiler fires up first thing in a morning the valve is already open for HW !

It happens ( The clanging ) first thing on a morning, when the boiler fires up for Hot water !

It seems the knocking is when the HW comes on, turned HW thermo down and CH started on the morning and no knocking !. Spike

Hi Thanks for your replies. 1: I don't think it will be from pipes expanding, it happens on a morning as soon has it fires up. 2: Pump is new ( 6 months old). 3: No gate valve on DHW Tank. 4: Yes, 22/15 Spike

Siemens DVA3. edit: Sorry not sure what make the valve is, just a plain 3 port valve , the Actuator is a Siemens mid way !. Spike
