bg are the only people to work on them,not even manufacturer will touch them now,parts are expensive and stuff like pumps are going on them which req long drawn out drain down and refills,anyone with one of these should be on contract or thinking of changing it when it goes................oh and...

sounds like the plastic hydroblock has cracked.....ure looking at around £200+ in parts alone.not eaxactly the easiest part to replace and ure looking at 2-3hrs on top :cry:

this ones slightly baffling me.......other than its still air circulating in system and its air locking intermitantly.what is worrying tho is why theres know pump over run wired into the boiler,its a big 80e which req.s it as per manufacturers.if its -over heating after 18 odd minutes the...

after fully reading ure last reply i would say its either blocked cold feed,circulation issue pump etc,if u can hear trickling around boiler its when the system is not completely full,as previously mentioned it could be something as easy as a stuck ball valve in ure header tank.another simple...

forgot to ask,u said it o-heated after 18 mins????do all of ure rads get at least warm at this stage????if they are all getting warm then it cant be a circulation issue,do u find downstair rads poor??

the question regarding o-heat stat........its a manual resetable stat,these do not automatly "make" when the system cools,u physically have to reset it.its just a type of stat.if its a blockage in the system normally the boiler would bang and clatter within 20-30 secs,if its not doing that i...

do u have 2 motorised valves controlling ch and hw??

wot u need 2 do is get the boiler working by pressing the rest button,stand and waite while its running,is there any gurglying noises??if so it may be air in system causing boiler to overheat??does the flow pipe get red hot after being on for only 20-30 secs???if so this would suggest...

dont waste money greasing,repairing the inners,it would last a maximum of 3-4weeks.get the guts changed,its a strightforward job anyway

depends on the distance the manufacturer gives for opposing boundaries,i would check that out first

Yeah the synchron motor is knackered

That reset button is the over heat stat tripping so its overheating for some reason and can do this for many reasons.is the bypass open??the boiler stat should never b on max cos they had problems wiv o-heating wen on max,is pump over run working?is there still sludge in system?first u need to...

Can u see a spark through pilot window when u try 2 ignite it?if u can pilot lite is probably blocked.at this age the igniter could b knackered,in any scenario a rgi is req'd tho,cheap job anyway

if uve had 2x heat exch in the last year and not had system flushed out its more likely blocked plate/plate again,get it flushed then change plate

What ballox would that be then?

Yes ure system is fully pumped,not sure whethe exactly straight swap but would b easy 2 change neway,make a note of the live,neutral and earth connections then u should have hot water off wire,hot water on wire and central heating on wire.wiring diagram will b on back of programmer.just note the...
