    Central heating sweltering upstairs, normal downstairs

    We've just turned the CH back on for the winter. It's controlled by two Drayton Digistat +3s, one in the hall and one on the landing. Every night since turning it back on, downstairs has been fine (21C) while upstairs has been sweltering (typically a displayed 24C). I've been through the...

    Toilet cistern not automatically refilling after flush

    I've inspected it closely now, and the float is *not* touching the cistern at any point. When I flush it drops down, but when the flush has finished, nothing happens. If I give the float a gentle push downwards the refill happens, and then the float rises back up and stops the refill at the...

    Toilet cistern not automatically refilling after flush

    Our downstairs toilet has gradually got worse at refilling after a flush. It got to the point where tugging the flush handle *upwards* a few times would cause it to refill, but now you have to remove the cistern cover and briefly pull up on the black plastic thing with the slotted cross-shaped...

    Boiler only responding to room stats, no hot water - valve failure, or something else?

    It is, but it's not heating the water as well as it used to. It used to be able to get it steaming hot in a big enough quantity to fill the bath, but simultaneous with the loss of non-immersion hot water, it now only gets it warm, and the water starts running cold before the bath is half full...

    Boiler only responding to room stats, no hot water - valve failure, or something else?

    Thanks for the replies so far - here's a pic I happen to have on my phone. I can take more detailed ones when I get home if necessary. You can see the Honeywell valve on top of the horizontal pipe that connects to the front centre of the cylinder. According to the diagram in the front of the...

    Boiler only responding to room stats, no hot water - valve failure, or something else?

    We have a Worcester 14/19 CBi downstairs with a cylinder upstairs. We've suddenly lost our hot water, but the CH still works fine. Googling around the subject, this immediately sounds like a motorised valve failure. When I adjust one of the room stats upwards, the "demand" light on the boiler...
