Guys Thanks for the advice, I was going to mention that the flow and return pipework leading from the boiler reduces to 15mm soon after leaving the boiler. I thought this might have been the issue but it worked well last year so can't see why it would suddenly be a problem? I did notice...

Hi guys, Wonder if you could answer a question I'm having. I have a Sime Friendly Format 80E, I noticed that when putting the heating on this year the radiators aren't as getting as hot as they once were, what was noticed was that the radiators were hot at the top and cold towards the bottom...

Wow you sound pretty confident, I like it though. I shall follow your advise :)

Cheers guys, My boiler is still on the blink and my trusty gas engineer isn't back till Friday. Hopefully he'll fit me in, the 2 messages I've left should hopefully stir him! Sometimes I get heating and may get lucky and also get hot water when the heating is on full. If the heat is on...

Guys, I'm trying to understand my central heating boiler and why I seem to have a fault on it. After reading the instructions I am somewhat confused as to what the primary flow switch is. It is mentioned in the fault finding but can't find it listed in the spares list. Is it named as...

Thanks glasgow gas, unfortunately it is in a really bad position, in terms of getting to it from above, at a push it might be possible I'd have to double check. Does the expansion vessle sound like the likely culprit?

Guys, I wonder if you could maybe point me in the right direction. I've got a Vokera Linea boiler that was leaking from the safety valve even when the pressure was below 3 bar. I changed this thinking that this might have solved my problem however I now think that I may have something a...

Tony, Thank you for the advice, you were absolutely spot on. As soon as I read your post it set alarm bells ringing. The condensate pipe had frozen. A couple of kettles of hot water soon sorted out the problem. Many thanks for your speedy response, it really is appreciated! Merry...

Guys, Wonder if you could give me some advice regarding my Biasi Riva Compact boiler. It was working fine this morning and then suddenly it seems to have died on me. When there is a call for either heat or hot water the boiler goes through its ignition sequence, ignites and stays lit for...

Guys, I think I'm having problems with my Britony Combi SE boiler. While the boiler provides hot water it does not appear to stay constanly lit, instead while water is being delivered the pilot goes out before relighting (usually within a second or so). This means that the flow of hot water...

Cheers Chris, I've not got any taps that I haven't since opened, however what I didn't mention was that I did install a pressure reducing valve at the same time. Could this have anything to do with it???? Just in case I will try what you suggest running all taps and see if this helps...

Guys, Not sure if any of you would have had an idea about what caused the above problem but I had an engineer out yesterday. He told me that it appears that I need both a new PCB and fan for my boiler. Would this make sense. The boiler is only just over 12 months old and it sounds like it's...

Hey, I have an Ariston Microgenius 32HE combi boiler that seems to be having oddly, I’m not sure if I might have done something to cause the problem. Just over a week ago I noticed that water was dripping rapidly from the discharge pipe. Investigating further I changed the DHW exchanger...

Sorry I should also have mentioned that when the error code is displayed on the lcd if I then select reset/off on the control dial the red led turns off (as does the error) but then the boiler tries to reignite. The boiler will light for a few seconds before turning off and the fan will run for...

Could I ask whether touching the boiler as I have would have affected the gas valve, or the pressure? When you mention the PCB do you mean the main one or the pcb that is linked to the ignition? Once again many thanks T
