    Vaillant Turbomax VUW GB 242 E - no hot water?

    Progress report..... Thought you might like to know I've done the job now. Replaced the rocker arm & serviced the rest of the parts liable to wear. Reassembled. Took it all apart again to refit the new rocker arm the right way up (durr!). Everything now working perfectly. Even managed...

    Apologies - my mistake. I'd assumed the email address is my profile would be as visible as in a post so it never occurred to me it would be a problem. On the upside I'll not be using the email address for anything else. Thanks again.

    Chris Thanks for the superfast response. So, a new DV as I feared. When you say "unless you like fiddling around with the bits of the old one" that kind of implies it's repairable - any chance it could be as simple as the other end of the rocker arm having snapped off & it's a 95p job not...

    CH works fine. DHW works when CH is on. No DHW when CH is off. White rocker arm isn't pushing down the microswitch when DHW is called for. Diaphragm looks fine but I've replaced it anyway to rule that out but still the rocker arm won't budge. If I have the water section open I can push...
