Hi, I’m fitting a B&Q Santini / Gloss white slab kitchen, I have matching clad on end panels for the wall and base units. This is more in regard to the wall units as I have the 790mm type clad on panels that stick protrude above and below the wall cabinet so that you don’t have to mitre the...

Having a new boiler fitted to replace my old cast iron Ideal, I have non-barrier plastic Hep so am expecting to have system corrosion caused by the oxygen infusion. To minimize problems with the boiler should I go for a boiler with a stainless steel or cast aluminum heat exchanger? Looking at...

Any further sugestions?

I have taken a couple of pictures as requested by Tony and included videos of the boiler on pilot and when running without flame lift. Classic RS 240 is a basic cast iron, non pcb, no fans and is a 1998 model. Installed in the kitchen 10" from a corner, hopefully the pictures show anything...

Thanks, will post pics of flue tonight - yes no fan.

Sorry to push this one out again but I feel I need to give this one last attempt... Any further suggestions to the flame lift cause (gas valve, meter, governor, neighboring properties demand?) Okay so "flame lift" is a air to gas related problem which points to the flue but two BG...

Engineer came out today and typically it didn't play up for him so glad I took the video. I pointed out the comments about POC in the flue but he says there are no holes or blockages, washed out the burner and checked gas pressure / gas consumption. To be fair with the strong winds today blowing...

Really appreciate the comments from the knowledgeable forum folks here :!: BG are coming back tomorrow, sods law says as it doesn't do it every time it ignites it probably won't do it for the BG engineer. Had a look in the service man for the RS40 I am far from knowledgeable in this...

Yes Tony, In summary from what I could see, Took of case, took main out burner, cleaned with a brush and blew though it, Took off hood above heat exchanger took out long metal plates and cleaned downwards with a long hacksaw blade. Quite a bit of rubbish fell out. reassembled then checked...

British Gas.

Thanks for your diagnosis, will get someone in to look at it.

Does this after it ignites:- (Not everytime on ignition but you can certainly hear it when it's doing it.) [/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqHwwv06d9Q You are seeing the burner through the sight glass, It's an Ideal Classic RS40, Serviced just last week. I think its trying...

Hi, Just had my Classic RS40 boiler serviced as I was concerned about yellow in the flames, noisy combustion (rattling the casing) and a "woofing noise" - sounds as if some of the flames on the burner are being blown out. After the service, cleaning of the heat exchanger, burner, gas...

Hi, My system is 12 years old, open vented, pumped y plan, ideal RS40 boiler, house has solid floor downstairs so rads are all on 10mm plastic microbore, fan heater on 15mm plastic. I have a myson kickspace 500 hydronic fan heater in my kitchen and I am looking to remove it and just need to...

Thanks Tony, will give the radio a go, thermostat knob feels quite stiff / rough to turn so don't know if that is connected.
