For sure, wouldn't you?

Hopefully it's just the valve, whilst the powers dead it would be worth opening the pump and checking the electrics aren't wet, or you may need to budget a new pump into the job as well. Spray some wd40 or similar on your nuts and you shouldn't find it too hard as long as you I is what you...

A certain none page thread comes to mind :lol:

No.

Why don't you also suggest using ptfe instead of the washer too :roll: No need to muddy the waters (unless the coil as taken a dump)

If you have 240v on le brown wire and le valve moves freely, then you just. We'd to replace le valve motor. Piece of ****, about £15 for a motor.

Trolololololololol, trololololol :roll:

It's easier to change the whole thing as it can be the plastic internals that are worn out. It's straightforward to replace as long as you understand the basics of undoing and remaking joints. You may need a replacement washer for the mains connection but I couldn't tell you what size it is, I...

if to remove it, you MIGHT be able to push it open and flush it through. do it into a clean sink with the plug is. then you will see if any shiz came out. if not then i guess its time for a new one. possibly put a line filter in front of it so save le hassle in le future.

Boiler change being done cash in hand?

Make sure the council empty the sand from the mains cock that it operates correctly. If not make them pay the water board to replace the stopcock as it is an 'emergency' control. You'll end up with a nice stopcock in the road this way.

it depends, sometimes it uses a 15mm compression connection, if present just use a smear of sealing compund on the old one. sometimes however it uses a skinny 1/2 fiber washer, which you MAY get away with reusing, but should really be replaced.

new boilers? seriously. house big enough to justify 2 boilers, yet cheap carp fitted. sorry just telling it how it is. :cry:
