we all see these every day,ok its a poor installation (externally). i just hope no one pushes the vertical pipe upwards,that would cause the boiler not to drain condense and possibly damage the boiler not to mention the inconvience of the boiler cutting out. is the boiler a combi,just asking...

your 20/80 flowmatic is now getting on a bit but still can be a very good boiler. these boilers really benefit from a specialist vokera engineer who can service it to the makers instructions. although they are a very mechanical boiler they outlast many newer boilers. correct water flow...

just looking for some advice not to technical please. i was installing a wireless router on my desktop,i had just pushed the large plug into the correct socket in back panel,then pc turned it self off. now unable to turn desktop back on. ok when i switch the mains on.on the front button just...

so is your heating working or not. :wink: if not turn off electric to boiler/programmer,remove programmer from wall,take out wire in number 4 and put in with number 3 so heating will come on with hot water,a temporary repair. if heating works when above it proves room stat and divertor...

as the valve seems to have been seized and you have unseized it and got the gas to burn.well done. these can bead gas and cause the heat exchanger to melt and burst,so the second safety device kicks in when water floods from the heatexchanger an puts the gas burner out. :D :D

so you have an old system with a new boiler,cylinder and fittings.i was asked to comment on a similar installation only to find it a converted church,high god like ceilings.

at least the post author has done the sensible idea of fitting a decent quality boiler with a high enough output for his future extensions. cavity wall insulation will cut his energy usage by approx 25% if done correctly. i had a detached 2 bunglow when living in hastings,winter was cold very...

good luck for monday. any chance of a pic of the corroded part,who is doing the repairs,most engineers shy away from these beasts in square boxes.

just wondering if the powermax is up and running now.

partscenter. www.partscenter.co.uk shoreheat. curzon heating components. and a few on ebay just search for potterton prima. you may need the black plastic retaining studs and the securing screw.

sounds like your property is heating up quicker and looseing heat even quicker through cavity walls. so the new higher output boiler is working hard to maintain an even temperature and burning for a longer time period. turn down boiler thermostat. your measurements of units is not an accurate...

you sound like a very demanding customer. you probaly made the engineer very nervous when this happens the engineer sometimes needs to double/triple check his work to ensure your safety is not compromised,so he ran out of time to tidy up inside your boiler. operatives need to be left alone to...

if this was my property i would add an extra x400 in first week of january. then drain it all out at end of january. add inhibitors etc then. no need to upset a working system in these cold days. good luck.

any chance of a photo of the corroded part,ok does not have to be a david bailey photo but more information helps all the guys here. is this is just external corrosion or has the engineer done further tests to back up his visual inspection. maybe the unit needs to be removed to carry out a...

does your repairs person live in wigan.
