An update on the decision we made. WB32cdi. Fitted in bedroom 4ft from my ear at the moment, and although I can hear it, no way does it keep me awake. We had to call out wb after repeated lockouts which the plumber couldn't fathom. The plumber did his best, but ended up giving the wife some...

With the death of the extended family, it's great to have a whole raft of plumbing uncles and aunts to ask for help, and I am grateful for all the replies. Regarding my 'movement towards purchase' Mickyg, I tend to research on the net first, vehicle or boiler. Armed with some info from this I...

Hi guys, and thanks for being here. So much has failed with the vokera linea that it's going, with it's porous heat exchanger, to the scrapyard. The wife has narrowed the choice down to Vaillant, or Worcester, but the plumber was pushing the Alpha. I know the first two have the track record...

15 or 16 years with an indesit wn1263wg. Brushes about 7 years ago, and now, reading the above, I suspect carbonisation has caused some motor fields to short. It's my own fault, I didn't clean the armature 7 years ago. I will resuscitate it, because I read that modern day indesits are not as...

We're at the end of a sewer that serves these two houses, then joins into another larger one. Previously there was no venting. It went to a ground floor wc and a rainwater gulley Jim

Thanks I'll swap the valves. The story is true. I didn't get the chance to look at the cartons they came in. If they are clearly marked then we were in the hands of idiots. The boiler did work slightly, the rads were tepid. To make it worse, the wife's family were here (derbyshire) from the...

1) Boiler make / model (gas or oil) gas linea 24 2) What is / is not happening. losing water pressure, suspect it's through the ch flow valve and the ch return valve, since they weep from behind the square knob. 3) Has ANYTHING else been done or changed recently. On installation...

I said to my mate 'don't touch that one, it's live.' He said 'Is it ******' and grasped it firmly to prove it. Nearly passed out 5 mins later when he realised it was live. It was 2ft long and went straight into the meter, I could see it. That's how I knew. Jim
