    Worcester Heatslave oil boiler - lockout after draining and refilling system. Can't figure out why.

    As above try moving fan blades I'd also be checking oil pumps not tight . Also known for pump side motor bearing to be tight. I'm certainly not a fan of the digital control box either seen them fail after seized pump/motor.

    Bath surround

    It arrived where it is in one lump! I know it's a pain but it's just disconnect pipework and lift . If it needs a couple of mates get the beer in.

    Adding an additional rad

    Not much point altering the drops to 15mm without taking them right back to wherever they start. Is your 10mm a manifold system or reduced tees? Is existing rad a double or single. I assume you have a tank feed system?

    WB heatlave not responding to stat requests - otherwise working

    Look for Heating world of spares. Search on there for Worcester diverter valve. They have correct part in stock. The one above will not do. That boiler requires a diverter valve Most 3 ports are mid position valves work differently.

    WB heatlave not responding to stat requests - otherwise working

    If you do change the power head you must use the correct one. Search with numbers on your existing valve. The head for the more common V4073A will not do.

    WB heatlave not responding to stat requests - otherwise working

    You need the instalation instructions they are available on line if you don't have them. The 3 port valve are known to fail you must use correct replacement. That old model uses relays that are also known to fail. You need a multimeter and boiler instalation manual and follow the flow chart.

    Whistling TRV

    Whilst current trv's are bi directional occasionally you get one that's noisy when closing. I'd be betting it's on return side of rad. Just change it and move on.
