Hi all, Firstly very grateful for any advice received. In my house I have inherited a hybrid underfloor/radiator - oil fired central heating system. The previous owner was an 'irrigation engineer' and very much liked concrete. He lifted all the floors and installed a wet piped...

Hi, Thanks Oilhead. That does make sense. I assume if the return flow cools one side of the boiler to such an extent that condensate forms - this could include chemicals from nearby exhaust gases - including sulphurous oxides and sulphur dioxide?? Do boiler manufactures make any attempt...

Many thanks for getting back to me. Not hugely keen on asking Trianco to make me a new water jacket - the boiler has not exactly been a paragon of reliability over the years. Suffice to say I have ended up finding out more about how it works that I ever intended to. Please don't interpret...

Hi Simon - thanks for getting back to me. I welcome your comments re. the ASHP. I think I am trying to convince myself that the new RHI scheme will make it more viable. I'm not really trying to buy a 'cheap' boiler as such. Just wondering out loud what the differences are between...

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice please. Fired up my Trianco 70/90 after the summer 'break' - worked fine. Next morning opened the boiler room door - water on the floor. Stripped the unit down - 3 sides of the water jacket looked fine the other side seemed to be leaking from the welds...

Hi - many thanks for getting back to me. What type of wax would you recommend - in my circumstances.

Hi - amateur floorer seeking a bit of advice from those with much more experience. Recently laid a reclaimed American Mahogany parquet floor (herringbone) in the bedroom. Preparation was tedious, floor prep OK and tiles when down fine. Sanding hard work - local hire company's Clark sander...

Thanks to everyone for their help. Before I attack the pipe assembly - it looks like an aluminium flange that has been sweated onto a brass fitting, I tried to source a replacement (in the expectation that I will probably b***r it up trying to take it apart) - the burner diagram suggests...

Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions: Have cleaned out the mesh filter in the pump - bit of grit caught - not much really - did it with heating oil bath and soft paintbrush. Don't think I had any water drawn up. No evidence (sludge) etc. The tank outlet is above the bottom of...

Hi, first post. Boiler - Trianco 70/90, burner ecoflam 4, pump danfoss bfp 11, control satronics, vertical flue (long), single pipe feed - about 50 inches 'head' acting on burner from tank through 'long' feed - 50 -60ft. Background: Needed to run oil tank dry at start of year to do...
