After opening up some more boxing, the leak is happening where the bath Waste Water pipe joins the Soil Pipe. The waste water pipe is in fact a few inches below the ceiling but in an awkward place coming in, in the corner of the room from a porch. The leak also occurs when the toilet flushes as...

You were correct. It was the zone valve which was not always giving a live connection to the boiler. The engineer replaced the motor within the valve and all is now ok.

I've recently suffered a small leak from a waste pipe requiring a small area (max 1 sq mtr) of artexed ceiling to be removed to gain access. I have Brit Gas homecare cover, DynoRod are the subsidiary. Their plumber suspects a possible asbestos situation. They requested a testing firm to take a...

Yes, I did think it might be the valve. However, as I mentioned, it is independent of the CH valve. Its odd that if I use the CH first for a few mins, then the HW will click on. That might, as you say, point towards the programmer contacts. A few weeks ago, when it wouldn't come on, I...

I've got a Potterton EP2 programmer linked to a conventional Worcester18ri boiler. The programmer has seperate sliders for HW and CH. The CH slider works perfectly when sliding to 'on'......the red light comes on, and the boiler clicks on within the usual few seconds, so no problem. However...

I'm wondering if anyone on here is familiar with 'Worcester cdi compact range'. I had a 32cdi compact fitted 6 months ago. On the fascia are two knobs, one for 'water flow temp to the taps' on the right hand side, and one for 'water flow temp to the radiators' on the left hand side. I wanted to...

Thanks for the reply. You mention the starter being built into the housing. I thought as much. It did cross my mind that where the bulb clipped in, that it was also part of the starter. There was no place to put the normal circular starter that was within the Luceco package. There was ZERO...

Have a 2 PIN 16w old fluorescent bulb fitted in a circular light in the bathroom. Like all fluorescent bulbs (like the long kitchen tubes) it flickers a bit when starting. As this old one has stopped working, I thought I'd replace it with the exact 2 PIN ''LED equivalent''. The box came with...

Fairly old Worcester Combi but works fine.....at the moment. When the CH is first turned on, after about two minutes a noise inside the boiler starts sort of clicking.......a bit like a pipe is expanding/contracting but a bit louder. Each clicking slightly flickers the pressure arrow although...

Is it easy to replace a filling loop on an old 24cdi . About 18 years old and every time we adjust the pressure it often continues to drip as something has worn. Often difficult to tell if key has engaged properly. So we have to re-insert key often to try and stop dripping. Does a heating...

thanks guys for helping me on this. Sorry for my ignorance !!

Thanks, but I need some clarity on this. I'm pretty confident re the first cables' wires. --- Brown to Live , Green/yellow to Earth, and blue to neutral. The second cable has 2 red wires. Exactly to which terminal connections do these go to . Anyone ?

I am a novice at this. Am putting up a polaris security light (movement detector for night-time). All the wiring is in place coming from the house. There are two cables coming out the external wall. One cable, which looks like it comes from the mains, has yellow/green, blue, and brown wires...

Basic room thermostat (turn it clockwise to up temperature) in my hall has been inaccurate since fitted by gas engineer last year. Was going to replace. Opened it up and at the moment the wiring is : BLUE wire to Terminal 2 , RED wire to Term 3 and BLACK wire to Term 1. On the back of the...

I've obviously started a heated debate here. Anyway, am I correct that a Honeywell digital is probably the best to get ?
