Thanks for the responses. I don't think the PRV was frozen, as I can see water coming out of the outside pipe no problem, and the water has been coming out when the pressure is high automatically. We did have an issue yesterday where there was a failure code f.22 which meant low water...

Hi all, I have a Vaillant thermocompact 628E, and the pressure was near to zero, so I filled it from the filling loop to around the number 1. Recently, I've noticed when the radiators come on in the morning, the pressure is over the red line after the number 3. I used the pressure relief...

I had someone go out today, and they fitted a new flow switch, and the problem went away, but when he closed the boiler cover, the hot water stopped working again. He thinks it could be the rectification switch, or the board. I can see this is turning into an expensive job.

Hi, thanks for all the responses. Do either of you live near Birmingham or know anyone who could do this work, and provide a quote please?

Thanks for the response, that is weird that he's quoting me to fit something the boiler doesn't have. Seems like it may be more expensive that first imagined if it needs the parts you mentioned.

I have a Worcester Bosch 28i combi boiler. The problem I have is that the central heating works ok, but the hot water does not. If I switch the hot water on, the boiler doesn't heat the water up. If I switch the central heating on for around 20 minutes, and then switch the hot water tap on...

@ dextrous I'm not sure whether it's a combi or system. But when the hot water or central heating timer kicks in the vaillant boiler gas comes on and starts heating the water within there. Also the immersion copper boiler actuator light comes on when hot water timer kicks in. Is there an...

Hi all, I live in a modern house, and I am not sure whether the water system the builders installed is efficient cost wise. Basically, we have a cold water tank in the attic where the cold water is fed to. Then on the first floor airing cupboard we have an immersion copper boiler to...

I've looked on the outside and the short end of the bricks are about 10cm. I measured the gap from plasterboard to wall before drilling - The plasterboard is 2cm thick, the air gap is another 2cm (dot and dab wall), so I must have drilled 6cm into brick, or breeze block? The house was...

thanks for all your help. I did this over the weekend with meticulous planning and measuring. I made six 10cm depth holes in the plasterboard using a 12mm drill piece, inserted 6 pieces of Rigifix M6 bolts. Attached the bracket to the wall. The supplied bolts that came with the bracket...

Thanks all for your responses. I have taken them all on board, many thanks for taking the time to help. The rigifix product looks like it will do the trick, another one I have seen is called dryline pro. Anyone have any experience of using dryline pro?

Some laptops have a wireless switch that can be turned on and off. On my Dell it is on the left side, is the wireless switch turned on?

HI, I'm not sure if this is a cavity wall or not. I am planning to hang a large tv above the fireplace on a bracket. The house was built in 2001, so it is likely to be a cavity wall? There are a few holes already in the wall above the fireplace, and I have measured that the thickness...

Hi Kieran, I turned off the power at the mains, i.e. the whole house from the main fuse board. I would take a photo of the wiring before you replace the actuator, it helped me to know which wire goes where. The job was a lot easier than it sounds, it's just a little fiddly first time...

Thanks for your help everyone, I bought an act222 actuator for around £34, and fitted it myself, all is working now normally.

point 4, was meant to be written place the white cap back on the circuit box, i.e. the box where the connections are for the actuator. A straight swap of wires is all I need to do from old to new right? There's no gotchas I need to be aware of?

Hi, After previous advice on this forum, I have purchased an ACT222 Actuator. I am going to change it this weekend. It is not something I've done before. :? The method I am going to use is 1. Turn of the electricity from the mains box, (there is also a switch on the box that says...
