I had the same problem. The valve was ok, I could freely manually move the lever on the 3 port valve. I replaced the motor (about £10 and a 2 min job) and it worked 100% thereafter.

does it have TRV valve on it? If so, it could be stuck shut. Take the head off (the thermostat bit) and try and free the pin on the valve.

Just connect it up with the VGA cable. Don't forget to set the resolution on your graphics card to that of the monitor.

anyone?

Just to tap into this thread a little..... If the main flow / return pipes were 15mm copper, but had 10mm microbore for the final leg into the rad.....could you still tap into the 10mm microbore or would you HAVE to "T" into the 15mm copper for the new rad?

Thanks both. Will get a couple of isolating valves tomorrow.

Hi Fitting new kitchen sink and taps tomorrow. Current layout of pipes is as the following picture. 2 x 15mm copper pipes connect straight to the existing monobloc tap. The new tap has the following tails, smaller end screws into the tap. All tap connectors I have found already...

Hi Adding a breakfast bar to our kitchen. Worktop is 38mm thick. What size batten should I fix to the wall for the breakfast bar to rest on? It will be supported with 1 or 2 legs as well (opposite side to the wall). Thanks

I am currently trying to balancing the system. Is the boiler shutting off then due to an un-balanced system? Currently the drop on all my radiators varies between 0 and 10. This is the second round of readings, first temps were between 0 and 14.

Room stat on 30, boiler has just knocked off for 2.5 minutes. The status light on the boiler was flashing green / clear. Then for the last 10 seconds the light flashed green / amber and the boiler fired up.

Will time when it next happens. I put the thermostat on 30 so I could start balancing the system. Already taken first round of temps and makde some adjustments. Was going to take 2nd round of temps when I heard the boiler shut off. I did check both the flow and return pipes coming from the...

I did do a full drain / flush and refill on Monday. Also added a new dose of Sentinel X100. All rads are getting hot and the boiler is not making any strange noises (well it does sould like a steam train sometimes but it has been like that months. Not since I drained the system.)

Hi Conventional CH system, waster cylinder and CH header tank in the loft. Boiler is a Potterton Suprima. Should the boiler remain on until the temperature set by thermostat is obtained? Even if I set thermostat to 30 deg the boiler cuts out (not locking out), just stops then re-starts some...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have 13 rads, what is an "average house"? I have set the pump to position two. What symptoms should I look out for if the pump is struggling on this speed setting? Thanks

Is there a general rule for what speed setting your pump is set to? Currently, mine is on full (3). It's a conventional system with water cylinder and CH F&E tank in the loft. There are 13 radiators in total, 2 of which are double, others are single. Thanks

Sorted it. Closed off both valves before opening drain screw.

Hi I have a conventional CH system, HW cylinder in the airing cupboard and CH header tank in the loft. After finishing decorating my house (removed all rads at one time or another), I am wanting to drain and re-fill with a fresh dose of inhibitor. I have drained CH several times but always...

Thanks

Hi As subject really. What is a "omnipolar circuit breaker"? Thanks

Hi I have just re-grouted my kitchen tiles as the white grout had become brown due to the previous owner of the house smoking in the kitchen. I would like to seal the new grout to help retain it's new white colour and avoid any future staining. I have just been to Al-Mulrad tiles to pick up...
