Hi all, I have owned this dishwasher for about 3 years and it has been fine - until now! It does not seem to be filling up with enough water at the start of each program. It will fill up for 10 seconds or so and then the program will start fine, but I noticed that it sounded very noisy, as...

Thanks for all the replies folks. Had another quote for: Worcester Greenstar Danesmore 12/18kw Wall Mounted System boiler Standard Flue Gledhill 130ltr open vented thermal store Titan 1000ltr bunded oil tank with base Tiger loop, Fire safety valve Oil Line 9 radiators with thermostatic...

Any way of finding one in Dumfries and Galloway, South-west Scotland?!

Think that's what I'll end up doing now, as we still need some electrical work and plumbing done which will require loft access. Will be cheaper and easier to insulate after that, on our own timescale. Still p*ssed off about the cavity insulation though... grrrrrr

So in a cruel twist, a surveyor from Eaga insulation came to survey for cavity and loft insulation today. He reckons that the vehicle containing the hopper and pump etc.for the cavity insulation won't fit down our private road :evil: Apparently a 7.5 tonne vehicle is 3.5m wide and the road is...

Hi bobthebender, In an ideal world, that's probably what we'd do, but we simply don't have the budget for the heatpump/solar at this time. However I think if we do get a thermal store, one with a spare coil or two might be a good idea? This is why we want to use the current open fire boiler...

We had a plumber/heating engineer round last Saturday and have now received his estimates. What does everybody think? The bungalow has no wet central heating at present, so this would be a fresh install including running pipes and fitting all radiators etc. Option 1 – oil fired central...

Hi all, Just bought a detached bungalow in southern Scotland and want to replace the current night storage system and baxi open fire with backboiler (assisting immersion in small copper cylinder in kitchen for DHW) with a full wet central heating system. There is no mains gas so it is either...

Thanks again Steady, Yeah it is on the right way around. I thought it was but it's always good to check!

Would be nice, but that's hardly the point is it? :lol:

No bills whatsoever, as I live with my girlfriend who gets the flat as part of her renumeration package for her job. Same applies for upstairs.

Well, after turning off all my rads, the living room one did get a bit hotter, but not almost untouchable like it used to. I think that the neighbours upstairs have done something that is sapping the supply of hot water to my rads.

Thanks Holty, have given that a try. Only problem is, it's a shared system with the upstairs flat, and I can't turn theirs off unfortunately :x Will see if the living room rad gets any hotter after turning the rest of mine off though.

Steady, Funny thing, tiredness isn't it? Couldn't for the life of me get the bitch undone last night. First go just now and it's off! :oops: :lol: The pin is exposed, but I've just checked it against the (working) bathroom one and they both move up and down the same amount :( I've...

So, any ideas on how to get the damn thing off?!!

You are both right!! :D I've just tried unscrewing one of the others in the flat and the grey part (along with the white part just above it!!) DO unscrew. It's just a simple collar type clamp as far as I can see. The bathroom rad I just tried was finger tight and came undone very easily...

Thanks for the replys chaps. Steady, there is water, but no air when bled. System pressure is a possibility. It is by no means a conventional system however. It's part of a biomass boiler heating system that heats 8 houses and a pool! Thanks for the suggestion on removal. The grey plastic...

Hi, In my flat since Christmas Eve realised that the living room radiator is cold. All others are fine. Radiator has been bled and there was no air at all. After digging around on here, I suspect a stuck TRV. I'd like to try removing the outer part of it to "tap the pin" as I've been reading...
