Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on where to start with this This morning I have noticed several times that my living room spotlights have briefly flashed off, almost like they've blinked, then came back on again, they are only off for a fraction of a second. The spotlights are...

Basically it's not changing much Normally the boiler modulates on /off while its running, you can see it reaching temperature then switching off to cool down before kicking back in again, but tonight the temperature just stayed the same 75 degrees while it was on earlier with no modulation of...

Hi I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying I have a boiler fault that I'm looking to get fixed free of charge and using the mains being shut off as an excuse for this? Apologies if I've picked you up wrong but I can assure you that's not the case, I was originally looking for a bit of...

Hi, thanks for the reply, hopefully your right. My concern is the boiler is behaving a bit different from normal It's entirely possible that it's been this way for a while but I have only noticed now because I'm paying attention to it. I've been testing it out over the last hour or so and I'm...

Hi it's a Worcester greenstar

Hi all I'm not sure if the title makes sense but basically today I was getting some work done. The plumber isolated my mains and drained the system down by opening multiple taps however I noticed afterwards that one of the taps opened up was a hot water tap. My concern is the combi boiler...

JohnD Thanks for that detailed reply! I'll look into those anti vibration brackets, are these things easy enough to fit? My pipework is done in decades old microbore so I'm always a bit wary of disturbing it incase it causes any issues.

Hi all Decided to bleed my bedroom radiator tonight due to a clicking noise coming from it. Unfortunately I now have a very slight leak from the bleed valve, I think I may have over tightened it a little but iv also had issues with this particular valve on the past. It's not a bad leak...

Is this something that could be easily cleaned out /fixed?

Thanks for all the replies Water is permanently hissing (after about 10 mins I isolated water supply) Shower is a Triton cara I guess that this is an electrically operated solenoid valve Input the power back on and tried operating the shower on and off a few times to see if I could get...

Hi thanks for the reply When you say leak are you referring to the shower isolation or the pipework to the shower?

Have had some issues with my shower lately. Basically we some central heating work done in the house and ended up with a shower not working Long story short is the company came and replaced pipework to shower a few days ago and everything seemed good except some dripping from shower head...

Thanks. Yeah it's already wired I was just a bit apprehensive it may not be suitable for that particular boiler. Cheers

Hi Today I converted my old standard boiler into a combi. The company that installed it wired my existing dual channel hive into it. I phoned hive up to see if I need to change any settings they mentioned that I need to change the receiver as it operates on a different voltage. The new...

Hi all I have a leaking tap on my kitchen sink I was hoping to get some advice before I start messing about with it and potentially making it worse I have shown a picture below basically the water seems to be leaking outward from the base of the tap as it joins to the sink What I find...

Yeah it is pretty filthy, I'll get the water out before I do anything with it

OK thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated

Hi all As per advice from a previous post I had, I'm going to dose a cleanser through my open vented heating system to see if it improves the water circulation/flow. I was in the loft today to suss out where the f&e tank was. I don't know much about these but when looking at it I expected to...

Hi, thanks for that. Yeah about a year ago I took my living room heaters out (furthest from boiler and worst for heating up) and connected the mains water into them and flushed them through. It probably did help a bit. My pump is set to 2. Again a service engineer told me that turning it up to...

Thanks for that, I'll probably try it. I have an open system. It says to fill via the f&e tank. I take it I just pour it into the tank then drain some water from the system to allow the f&e tank to top up the heating system?
