    How to select a decent brand of boiler?

    thats pretty low for a combi. the worcesters you are looking at are set to deliver at between 13 and 17 litres for optimum performance, a smaller worcester. it would still work, but you'd not see your moneys worth. get your installer to properly measure flow and pressure, but it looks like...

    Help with Vaillant Boiler

    Just looked on my laptop and there isn't a service kit for this. If its the connections, you only need 3 3/4 washers, but if it's the spindle you need to replace the whole valve.

    Flushed twice......water still dirty (CH problem)

    Plus you really need to drain and refill a couple of times to have a hands of doing a decent job of it. Consider having a heating filter added as well, this could do a bit of the work for you.

    How to select a decent brand of boiler?

    Iirc on the Worcester website, they suggest that their combi's are suitable for that size property, providing the mains is up to it. I have a greenstar 35 cdi in mine and detect minimal pressure loss when multiple hot water demands are on. I have a 22mm cold mains right up to the last meter and...

    Motorised valves

    Your old valve is motor open motor shut going by the wire colours. You'll have to look for a conversion diagram. If I remember correctly you may have to convert both valves to motor open spring return.

    Radiators heating when only hot water selected

    the paddle is sticking on the valve body, or some shiz has built up on the valve seat. tis a simple enough repair, about £30 for the body or less if you use a service kit.

    glowworm micron 40ff boiler

    due to design, pretty much anything on this boiler requires th ecombustion chamber to be opened so you're looking at a pro to do the job. probably/possible the pcb...bit of a weak spot.

    Potterton Performa 24 random burner lighting? New Switch?

    not digging Tony but, pump proving switch fires the boiler , of this i am certain but the stuck dhw spindle will trigger the pump, firing the boiler also. It is unusual for a microswitch to stick, usually the pin sticks, leaving the microswitch 'made'. the last 2 times i've been called out...

    Potterton Performa 24 random burner lighting? New Switch?

    Unless its the pump proving switch which is what I seem to change when this occurs. OP best to cut the power and have your gas safe eng test for continuity through BOTH switches as you can't really visually test this fault :)
