Hi all, I need to buy a new combi boiler as my old one is on it`s last legs. Can I have suggestions as to what is the best on the market to buy? I have a 3 bedroom detached house with a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children. Ideally a boiler with as few moving parts as possible as I have had to...

Just to update everyone: Changed the diverter valve along with the heat plate exchanger and now we have hot water. Woopeeeeee!! I do still have to top up the pressure daily and was wondering if I can turn off the two valves (one on the far left and the one on the far right) as suggested in...

Hi folks, Just to update you all: I have changed the diverter valve along with the plate heat exchanger and now at last we have nice flowing, continuous hot water. I also have changed the PRV and the automatic air vents so I will watch to see if the pressure now drops. I have noticed though...

Thaks Agile for your response, I shall take your advise and preasurise the system to 0.9 bar as you suggested. I will also purchase the silicone as well. I actually use Peppers in Telford now and they have a great reputation. Are you local to Telford then or just visit? Thanks again for...

I have just dismantled my boiler and found the diverter valve knackered and the heat plate exchanger all blocked. I have new ones coming tomorrow but wondered when I should pressurise the expansion vessel as I pushed the pin it to test if any water is coming out and now there is no pressure...

Thanks to all that have replied to my dilema, I think maybe a call to British Gas and get them to do a "one off" repair. What you reckon???????

Thanks guys, You say the main heat exchanger has gone, Am I right in saying that this is different to the heat plate exchanger? Also where does the water go? Both of you say to buy a decent boiler and not a cheap one ( it was in when we moved in) What is the best make to buy? Regards...

Don't quite get your humour here, the water aint on the worktop and after tying bags on the pipes outside it aint going out there either. Any sensible answers would be appreciated. Best regards.

Hi all, I am still losing pressure on my boiler and find that every morning the pressure is down to zero. I have tried the following after a reply was posted: Try turning off boiler, pressurise system to 2 Bar, and close the isolation valves where the flow and return pipes (the bigger...

Hi Kbdiy, Thanks for the quick response, I say "underground" when I suppose I mean just under the floor buried in the screeding. All downstairs radiators, e.g. Kitchen, hall, dining room and living room have radiators where the pipes enter into a solid floor. All the floors appear to be...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can find a water leak that is underground? The reason I ask is that I have a main boiler that I have to refill everyday now (gradually got worse over the weeks) There is no water coming from the pipes outside ( pressure release thingy) as I have tied a bag on the...

My Main combi E30 eco boiler is still playing up. I have noticed now that when I just run the hot water tap that the first radiator (in the bathroom) starts to get hot.The water runs hot through the tap for a minute or two then goes cold for a minute, then hot again. I am also losing pressure...
