:shock: that might have happened to be honest. my missus rang me at work when it locked out and I gave her instructions. I think my instructions were good but the boilers got a crappy digital pressure gauge which doesn't register till it's too late. Luckily i got the feel for it but my...

Thanks burnerman, so do you think that when it was serviced, the system was depressurised from this relief valve and not through the brass tap fitting underneath the rad by the front door, if you get what I mean! :)

Hello, I have a glowworm 30ci combi boiler which was serviced a couple of months ago. Its operating pressure is 1.1 bar. Just recently it's started to lose pressure. Every 3 or 4 days i've had to open the filling loop. I was fearing the worst that there was a leak under the floor somewhere but...

Thanks for your reply Tony. You are right, I did expect this combi to perform similar to the one in my previous house as the mains pressure, house size, boiler size etc are almost identical. However, although the CH belts out heat within seconds (similar to old house) and the hot water...

Hello, I've just bought a house fitted with a glow worm 30ci combi. I'm having problems with the hot water. When I turn on the tap it takes forever to get warm water through. Even when I only slightly open the tap to reduce the flow rate. When the water eventually warms up and i increase the...

thanks Burnerman, Yea this has 4 coils in one. Made by Sagem. At first I thought it could be the cat so at least the coil pack is easy to replace. Probably 100 squid though! :x

Tell yer what I'd do: 1) Take up that nasty concrete path and take up your lawn. 2) Dig out all the rubbish from the flower bed and rake the soil all over the new area (the whole garden) so it's nice and level. 3) Take the fence down (keep the panels). 4) Fit a new slotted concrete fence...

Hi, Can anyone help diagnose the problem with my year 2000 1.8i 16v picasso please? the engine is misfiring through all gears and on tick over really struggling to run. Therefore, i fitted a new fuel filter and a new set of plugs. Took it for a spin and it's still the same. I took the...

Thanks very much Taylortwocities. I've lifted some floorboards above the kitchen, disconnected the 10mm cable from the choc block in the kitchen and pulled the cable up. I've then wired the 10mm cable to a 45amp junction box fitted to a noggin between the joists. I'm now going to run a cable...

Just taken the wall units down and found a few nastys. 10mm cable has been connected to 6mm cable with choc block 1ft down from the ceiling inside a 6" inch square metal box. This 6mm cable then goes horizontally along the wall for 2ft before coming down the wall into the cooker isolation...

You plug an appliance i.e toaster, kettle etc into the cooker socket at the moment.

Hi all. Is it OK to position a double 13 amp socket below worksurface level in the kitchen and get power to this by running a spur from the cooker socket. I'm fitting a built in single oven (1.85Kw) and also need power to gas hob for the ignitor. Thanks in advance.

yes, i'm running the flex from the stat to the boiler. Theres a mention of two or three wire set-up. Can anyone elaborate?

Ta very much :)

Hi, can anyone advise what cable to buy to wire a drayton combi stat to a Biasi M96 32S condensing combi. Thanks in advance.
