You got a comedy quote too? Seems to be catching. My quote was for £4500 but that DID include a MagnaClean and a power flush as far as I remember. Dave

I got a comedy quote for a similar thing the other day. Thank goodness for this forum - I know that £4500 is way, way over the top. So, either he doesn't want the job or he thinks that I have "mug" tattooed on my forehead!I don't think the difference is made up for by the 5 TRVs that he was...

Have registered on the St Forum (couldn't view the post otherwise). Cannot find heated windscreens using the "search" function and the link that you posted simply says that I need to register. Thanks for the help so far. I'll have a look under the bonnet in daylight. Meantime, I'll...

So they are in the engine bay area? Thanks Robby Dave

Thanks Robbie Where EXACTLY is this connector and is it easy to get to at all? Dave

Another query... One whole side of the Quickclear windscreen has stopped working - it WOULD be the driver's side wouldn't it? The other side (passenger) is working fine. So.. a) is there more than one connector/plug to the windscreen and could this have become dislodged? b) if it is...

Thread title says it all really. 05 plate Ford Mondeo. O/s sidelight bulb needs replacing. Bought a replacement sidelight bulb from Halfords, but can't see how to fit it - and even Halfords admitted defeat when my wife took it in. So, is there an easy step-by-step way of doing this...

Thanks John. Dave

Hi Tony Thank you for the correction. I have done some more research and found: WB Greenstar system boilers have a Al-alloy HE and offer a 2 yr guarantee as standard, 5 yrs if installed by a WB accredited installer and 10 yrs on the HE. Vaillant ecoTech boilers have a s/steel heat...

Oh. Is it Vaillant that are s/steel then? I know that one of them is (or at least I THOUGHT I did). Having had a bad experience with Al-alloy heat exchangers with this current boiler (had a h/exchanger replaced 3 yrs ago and another a fortnight ago) I'm a bit wary. Dave

Thanks John. That's what I thought. Just had (15 days ago) a full drain down followed by a re-fill with small container (500ml ?) of Fernox inhibitor added. Don't particularly want to go through that whole palaver of drain-down, remove each rad in turn, cart down to back garden & flush...

Hi Hi gas_man_gaz, Your profile says that you are in SHEFIELD. Are you Gas-Safe / Corgi registered and if so, would you be interested in quoting for a boiler replacement? Current boiler is a condensing Ideal Minimiser FF80. Mains water, gas & electricity all easily to hand. Boiler is in...

Any idea on the questions posted above? Is it likely to be gas build-up due to corrosion or is it still air in the system? Would more inhibitor help of do I need to flush the system first? Dave

Thank you both for your swift replies. John, would you mind telling me what conventional heat-only boiler you chose? I'm looking at Worcester Bosch Greenstar - they have a s/steel heat exchanger and, if fitted by a recognised WB Engineer, a 5-year guarantee. Also in the frame are...

Hello again folks! Man I'll be glad when this boiler saga is all sorted, but I digress... Ever since BG replaced the heat exchanger on 6th Jan (now 15 days ago), we have had constant cut-outs of the boiler due to the activation of the dry-heat stat in the Ideal Minimiser FF80 boiler...

Thank you once again John and Tony for your replies. If it helps any, the combi boiler would NOT need to supply any showers (they are instant electric 8.4kW type) only the HW for washing, shaving and bathing. Even the waching machine (or dishwasher when used) are cold-fill machines. It...

Thank you John. Your reply kind of agrees with what these friends were saying... Looking at your figures a 100L bath will take 5 mins to fill at 20L/min Typical combi figures are 10L/min (?) meaning 10 mins to run and this figure will be affected (severely ?) if someone runs a hot tap...

Hi again folks. Need some advice as I thought I had settled on a boiler (a WB Combi), but now a couple of spanners have been thrown into the works, so to speak. Two of my wife's friends have just been to visit and both of them, separately I might add, have told us that combi boilers are...

Hi Tony If it helps the mains water flow rate is between 16 & 20 litres per min and the gas supply was judged to be OK - he looked at them both. Dave

Thanks onetap So, to make sure that I've got this straight: My current (25-year-old) copper HW storage tank is vented 'cos it has a cold water feed tank in the loft? I could get rid of this tank IF I change the HW storage tank to an UNVENTED type? If I keep the vented HW storage...
