I have heating and hot water. I believe the system is full, bled the rads and no air escaped at all. There is no fault light displaying as per the manual.

I can see any signs of ejected water. The old pressure sensor wasn't blocked as far as i remember

No signs of a leak, I might have a look tomorrow and disconnect the sensor

It was doing exactly the same before the sensor was changed and changing it didn't resolve the issue

Pressure sensor was replaced last year

Boiler is showing pressure at 0.0, Tried filling from the loop but it does not change at all. I cannot access the clock to check if the time is correct, because of this. I have hot water and heating. Any ideas as to what is the problem?

I think I might put it on eBay for spares or repair and cut my losses

I guess it's buggered then

He has left the old chain in a box in my boot. I did ask him to do all related works required to get it running which he doesn't appear to have done. Annoying really as I'm having to rely on lifts or borrowing my wife's car

He never said that there was any damage to the valves or pistons. So I'm wondering if they were even checked. I wouldn't know where to start looking to see if I could see if there was any damage. I doubt I've even got the right tools to take it apart.

The engine was great before it was replaced. The chain had snapped and he knew that. He hasn't actually said wether he checked the valves. I haven't had time to check for loose wires as yet. I'll have a look when I get back from work today to see if I'm missing anything. It does look like he...

Hard to rock on my own but saw no movement. The only contact I've had from him is a text with his bank details asking for payment and a text saying "It does start but runs badly and then cuts out "

Couldn't get it to move in gear let alone turn over. I don't know where the crank pulley bolt is

The starter won't turn it over I believe. Checked the battery. All lights work. I tried to jump start it in case the battery wasn't working but it didn't help

Vauxhall Astra 1.3 cdti 2008 129,000 My timing chain snapped, I had it replaced by a mobile mechanic. He fitted it while I was away at work. I've come home and it won't turn over. Tried to contact him and he's not replying. Fortunately I haven't made the bank transfer yet so I'm not out...
