    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    namsag, that last post made me smile. Glad to see there's a sense of humour out there. :lol: Agile, I'm glad I don't live in London! :shock: Out here in the country you can park outside my house all day for free if you like. The drive here for a local engineer might take the same 45mins...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    I never ignored what was said, I read all the posts. Did you read the other posts?? I found the one about confusing condensing and condescending to be particularly relevant ! It's not a competition out there. I appreciate what you are all doing but you could do well to learn from rojaca's...

    Using a PS3 Slim as a Bluray player can you recommend a HCS

    I'm surprised by that garrymom. I have a PS3 and a 42 inch 1080P and watch Blu ray movies courtesy of lovefilm all the time and they look great. admittadly I've not done a comparison and I'll have to assume that your friend has his PS3 setup correctly and both PC and PS3 were fed to the same...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    Fixed it, yeah !!!! After moving the press diff valve in and out and getting either CH or DHW I figured that must be where the problem lay. I decided to take the pressure diff valve back off and when I did everything became clear. It seems when I first put the unit on I bent the actuater pin...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    Cheers everyone, first pint to you rojaca. I took the two grub screws out and readjusted the fitting of the differential valve. I didn't have it pushed tight up against the changeover valve, my mistake! I've refitted it tight up and now the CH fires up properly and runs for a little while...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    Yes rojaca, the pressure diff is in a housing. This housing (part no 248063) was the part I detached from the rest of the change over valve. Presumably when the two are assembled in the factory to create one large unit then everything is lined up perfectly. I apprecite you setting it up for...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    Thanks everyone for taking time out to give advice, much appreciated. rojaca - your theory about the spindle sounds most likely. Does anyone out there know for sure if the two pins, one on differential and one on diverter valve, are supposed to align and therefore move together? When I...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    Just to clarify, I replaced the DHW Pressure Differential valve (part no 248063) that is held to front of the manifold with two grub screws. I turned off the mains water inlet, emptied the hot water circuit, unsrewed the two sensing pipes and then replaced. I then turned the mains water back on...

    Potterton 24 Differential pressure valve replacement, how?

    I have recently had a leaking Differential pressure valve on my Potterton Performer 24 boiler. I've replaced the whole valve and everything was great , no leaks, DHW working fine, until I tried the CH. Now the CH fires up and runs for a minute before cutting out. There is hot water leaving the...
