don't feed the troll

My god. This many problems draining it down. Can you imagine the problems when he tries to refill it? Two pages and running on how to repair a split pipe. Troll.

Oh ffs. No. If you want a slip socket then you are best off trying a sweet shop. You can't expect a plumbers' merchant to carry wierd stuff like that.

Why not use a compresion joint? I would close off all the rads and bung the tank if open vent. Cut pipe, drain excess water, lather on the flux and get busy with the mapp gas. Don't burn the house down. It was very hard to reply to this without being facetious. But one of my customers...

I have done this a few times - I also prefer Hive. Buy a wiring centre and transfer the wiring from the EP. Test it using temporary link wires. Then wire the Hive into the wiring centre. Hate the EP series - highly unreliable, expensive and deliberately designed to be awkward to replace. And...

Do it yourself as you seem to know all the regs and exactly how much all the gear costs. How hard can it be?

It is worth booger-all once it has been shat in.

Out of the list given, Duotec. But it makes a bit of a racket when running. I am neutral on Intergas but if you have a local Intergas installer then you have probably found someone who cares about what they do for a living - it is not a cowboy's first choice (that is Worcester).

The insertion of a mini-milk ice lolly brings instant relief, so i am told.

Whatever you do, do not buy a Vaillant. The brand has been diluted and the quality of product and service has dwindled. I used to fit them because tney were quality. Prices have risen, quality has dropped. Do not get mugged off thinking you are getting a quality German boiler with Vaillant...

Is this a combi or a conventional?

So it does not recognise the demand for hot water. Are you certain that it does not try to fire up, however briefly, when running the hot tap with ECO switched off?

Does it fire up for central heating? What happens if you turn off the ECO mode?

...not forgetting a compliant cylinder. Combi conversion perhaps?

There is an O ring that sits in a groove at the end of the narrow copper bypass tube. This is pushed into the orifice on the 3 way body and the clip stops the pipe ftom separating from the body.

Take the headset off and see if you can control the water temprature coming out of the hose. If the headset is too restrictive then the water will be too hot.

Which model of greenstar is it? Have seen this on the CDi GS combi.

Was it a genuine mira headset you put on or a generc copy? Flow rate through headset determines temperature

If anyone is reading this thread with the same problem as the OP then I can report that I fixed one of these boilers today which had the same problem. The primary heat exchangers don't like dirty water and don't like not having pump overrun set up. The hex can get obstructed. System was...

Buy an old boiler off of ebay and then get somone to install it. All totally illegal but the only way you will get it done for less than 2.5k.
