VERY good point! Still she does nothing :lol:

Hello again :P Just turned on hot water only ran upstairs to put a close ear on things. PUMP is vibrating as normal, 3 way valve is vibrating, like it normally does, pipes soon get hot. No sign of hot water yet though. Pretty sure that central heating will come on; if I remember rightly I...

Hi Hugh, I will try that very soon and report back. Thanx again 8)

mmmmmm thanks so much Hugh, I promise to be extra careful. I am noting everything said and will no tamper in areas I feel are dangerous, like electrics. So annoying because hubby was a electrical engineer! You know, I will find the answer and when I do you guys will be the first to know. I...

Going to have a cosy evening with central heating on and when it has reached the temperature in lounge I will see if hot water comes on automatically. I am trying my best here and I am working at it mentally more than physically but that is what you are suggesting and I think, in the end, it...

Hi tony thank you for you reply. The programmer is quite old. I have alway only used it on manual anyway. It heats for central heating alone but when I push in only hot water the heating comes on instead and then sometimes the water might get through if I leave it long enough? :roll: I am...

Hi John, i'm loving all this attention ...... woooo. Still the problem remains. What to do/not do. As Hugh rightly said, nothing really until I know what the problem is. As I said i'm getting full heating absolutely fine just no hot water! That ' bleed valve' branches off from the right side...

Hi Hugh, thank you for your reply. My wood burner is a little Morsoe Squirrel, bought in the days when I was rich:-) (not that you need to know that, it's just I love it so much!) No it is totally independent of the central heating, ie not connected in any way, so that's a bonus. I have it on...

Hello Hugh. I'm sure you are right and I will ask plumber but first, is it possible that my plumber will charge less if I purchase the identical, 22 mm Honeywell valve and then drain my system down. Before I drain the system down though is there something I need to do with the boiler Worcester...

Hang on. I am serious about my hot water problem :shock: That said I will show mine when i'v got the time to take a snapshot and, when I've tidied up my pipes, of course :D Thanks again everyone for being so very kind :P

Go on then :D

This could well be the problems. Thank you Tony for the excellent advice. I have tried but it is very stiff and taking the others suggestions to leave alone well, I would do that but it needs attention anyway so I thought that I might spray it with some easing oil and then have another go. I...

Okay, sorry Tony, I really didn't know that. That said I will stay here know and try to finish my other 'thread'. A picture might not be very pretty i'm afraid. May do though. I tried to turn the air vent a 1/4 inch but it is very stiff. Do you think I should put a little easy oil on it and...

NO.... Fraid not ... I am, unfortunately, for real :oops:

THANK YOU! I'm really enjoying all of this. Quite difficult getting used to DIYNOT though.

THANK YOU ROB!! :D Yes, I set the vavle to manual and all is well but I know I have to do something now. Just don't want to pay out 300 plus if it is not the vavle - i'm sure you understand. I need to go with cheaper option and look to see if it is the cylinder thermostat - what do you...

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR BEING SO LOVELY ..... WILL TRY :D

SORRY FOLKS I DO HAVE AN ANSWER TO THE ABOVE WITH THE PICTURE AND THE BEST ADVICE IS TO LEAVE IT ALONE........ I DEFINATELY WILL DO THAT ......... THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP .... SO LOVELY :P ALL THAT IS LEFT TO SAY IS COULD IT BE THE THERMOSTAT ON THE CYLINDER :roll:

I will get a pro .... Lots to do here but then I can't complain the set up is over 30 years! THANKS AGAIN ALL. JUST GETTING USED TO DIYNOT. LOVE IT ..... DON'T FEEL ALjavascript:emoticon(':P')ONE AND HELPLESS ANY MORE :P

First, thank you so much everyone who helped me understand about my three port valve; I'm going to have to get a pro in to have a look at it because I now think that my hot water not coming on could be one of two or three things - how about you? It might be the pump (but then the rads wouldn't...
