I got as much water out as would come out of the valve, it was hard to contain the water so some kitchen roll was needed but it didn't seem like there was very much water in the air side (maybe a couple of shots worth at most). I'll see what the pressure is like when I get home and then fire up...

So I closed most of the radiators I could get to (couple are inaccessible) opened the drain off and let whatever pressure / water in the system out. When pumping the expansion vessel back up it felt like I could keep pumping forever until eventually it started to hold some pressure which dropped...

Yeah I prefer to try narrow down problems before trying different things and wasting time/money. If I get chance tonight I will do some further tests as above to see if the vessel truly has had it or not, if not then will have to trust the engineer coming tomorrow will be on the ball. Will post...

Thanks Madrab. If I can get them to replace the faulty one then that would be preferred as I don't want to have to add another thing to my to-do list. If the vessel is part of the boiler cover I have I don't see why they shouldn't go to the trouble to swap it out. I shall see what they say/do...

Boiler maintenance/repair company already notified and due out Thursday (providing my claim is valid for the policy) I am just asking for clarification/confirmation so I know what to expect. If the flue seal part cannot be answered due to fear of DIY please omit this question. Long post so I...

Although that wont stop these so called engineers/fitters who will come to install a cooker and then refuse to do it due to nearby sockets etc...

To add to the off topic conversation.... There's a restaurant near me that serve food on those stones (called "black rock") and the cut of steak is amazing and cutting as thick/thin as you like and to your own taste too. Highly recommend trying it if you get the opportunity near you and like...

Ok that cable isn't as bad as we feared and it looks pretty chunky to say the least. securespark has posted the equivalent that should be suitable for you, give them a call to see if they can sell you a few (get some spares or if you plan to replace any others) or ask where the nearest...

You could try speaking to that sales guy to try and get him to pull some weight to get it moved FOC (I wouldn't hold your breath though). Yup sales people will say almost anything to get the sale, and then happily walk away and leave the back office/customer dealing with any fallout...

It's common for newer sockets to have only a single terminal for the Live and Neutral (one for each that is) and that often only the earth has 2 terminals so you might struggle to find one. Unless someone on here knows of a specific one. However you mention braided cable... some of your cables...

Flush pipe connector is probably worn or that extension (black) piece isn't long enough to keep is securely inserted and its coming out under pressure. Get a replacement flush pipe pan connector and get a decent rubber one not the plastic/pvc ones as they leak/come out easily. If that pipe is...

Do you know if they meant you had no earth to places like sockets and light switches? or was it no earth to your consumer unit/fuse box? Do you have anything that says RCD? Could you perhaps post some pictures of your fuse box, cables etc...? BTW who was it that checked your electrics? And...

Mine was based on the installation manual saying 200mA with no other mention of voltage except 230v in this section. However they could of meant 200mA @ 12v? Equipment Electrical Rating The control equipment is designed to operate on a mains supply of 230 Volts a.c. (230 V +10% -15%) at a...

That's good news by the sounds of it. I wonder if the external sired are either dummy, weren't part of this installation or their batteries failed a long time ago. Either way fingers crossed its all decommissioned.

In normal use the panel consumes at max 200mA, so a quick estimate puts the yearly cost probably somewhere around £40-60 (estimate as I have no idea what you pay or the actual consumption). That assumes your panel is consuming the 200mA which it probably isn't so expect that cost to be a little...
