Just to let you know, the worcester guy came a few days ago and fitted a new gas sensor, as apparently is a different design and so if water gets in it wont cut the boiler out. he also fitted a flue gard to stop water getting in as he thought this might be how the water was getting in (...

Thanks for your reply Agile. i took your advice to get back to Worcester, despite it now being out of warrenty. At first they were having none of it and said i would have to pay for all the work despite it being due to their dodgy work. they were a bit dismissive and asked to see the...

Thanks for the replies! glad its not dangerous. it is a difficult/expencive job to repair the leaking flue and would it most likely have been caused by a bad installation or is it a design fault. i.e. should i go thru the hassle of getting worcester back to fix the flue or should i just get it...

My friend wants to change his complicated thermostat to a simple mechanical clock like mine and wanted to check the wiring was the same, opened my 2yr old worcester bosch junior 24i to find a wet and slightly charred tissue stuck in it ...see photos. the boiler has been fine except when nearly...

Thanks for the reply! im gonna download the instructions in a bit and have a look through, hopefully it will just plug in and not be too complicated. I can strongly recommend the worcester bosch junior greenstars I had the 24i in my last house and have got a 28i this time round as the hot...

Just a quick question, at the moment i have a worcester bosch junior combi 28i with a danfoss randall electronic digi stat (it looks like a TP9 model) which i would like to swap for the Worcester bosch MT 10 Mechanical clock and a normal thermostat. A. Is this a job that i could do myself...

This one is handy as its free standing and it is also very good if your soil pipe is located too far from the wall as the outlet is 9inches from the back. http://www.kalevit.com/products/default_sanitaryware.aspx?GrupID=5&urunID=267...

Does it stop when u use a tap or toilet? Im not a plumber but i had a simmilar problem with a boiler vibrating, which sounded like someone was drilling next door, it was amazingly loud! turns out there was grit in the toilet mechanism causeing tapslam/water hammer cant remember what the...

Thanks everyone for replying!! Your help has been greatfully recieved. Im currently mulling over wether to try to crack the raised bit/donut bit off at floor level by tapping it outwards with a chisel or to make a small box behind the cistern to bring it all forward. Think im going to go...

aaah thats a good plan, didnt think of that! i will have a look out the back to see if i could take it out the back wall and into the sewer that way. Thanks for the reply! Have a good day

Im doing some planning before i start renovating this nasty bathroom (see photo) but Ive found a problem with the location of the soil pipe… basically it’s a bit too far from the wall and its raised up from the floor with a thick ring round it which means I cant get the new close coupled toilet...

n.b. im not a plumber but i had a very simmilar problem with my new toilet causing all the pipeing/boiler to vibrate very loudly. the plumber eventually found a piece of grit from the new installation in the toilet mechanism which was causing tap slam or water hammer or what ever he called...

If it turns out not to be the pipe check the yellow screw on cap on the condensate tank. On mine (worcester bosch greenstar junior 24i) it had a hairline crack causing it to drip and flow allong the outside of the condensate pipe, the guy who installed it was very nice and fixed it with a metal one.

thank you for your advice it is much appreciated. its still not working but fingers crossed someone will be out next week to sort it.

my friend is currently sitting in her house with a cold and with no heating, as when they put the newly topped up card back in the prepayment meter it wouldnt work. que call to the gas company who sent out a new card that still wont work. Has anyone got any ideas on common problems/how to...
