Thanks for the advice. The coating was called Rystix Timbacare Exterior Wood Sealer and was recommended by the company that I bought the summer house from. *Edit* It was extremely bad weather when I was building the summerhouse and, although I threw a tarp over it every night, the wood will...

Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this one. I built a summerhouse last year. The wood wasn't treated at all so, once it was built, my wife (she's head of painting in our house) sprayed it with some Rystix Timbercare stuff. Unfortunately, it was 'clear' and I think she's maybe...

Just looking at these. QuanTec HR 28c Combi 28kW with Integral Passive Flue Gas Heat Recovery as standard.(LPG Model now available) QuanTec 30c Combi 28kW Any idea what the "Integral Passive Flue" is and whether I need it for my installation? My old boiler has a flue on it (as you can see...

Christ! There's a few there to go at!! Cheers :-)

Thanks for the tips re: boiler type. I suppose it's like asking what's the best car or what's the best operating system! However, I'll look into Intergas and I've obviously heard of Worcester (although I had heard that Worcester were now employing cheap parts and were expensive - basically just...

I know this is slightly "off topic" but my wife and I have decided to take the plunge and just buy a new boiler. The Buderus is on it's last legs anyway. Would you mind if I asked you for a recommendation or two of makes/types to look out for? I need a combi boiler. Our house has 10...

The only "guard" on it was a plastic "spider web"-type cowling which I snipped off last night as I kept having to spin the fan to get the boiler going and I didn't want to have to keep sticking tools through the cowling to try and spin the back of the fan. I've seen new fans on the net with a...

I'm in Kirkcaldy, in sunny Fife :-)

Thanks for the tip Bernard. Will do :)

Lol, that's what I thought. I've got a mate who's a joiner and does plenty of new builds etc so I'll speak to him and see if he has anyone he can recommend.

Duly noted Ian. If we don't decide to change the boiler then I'll just source the fan and then contact a company to come and do the change for me. Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate your expertise on this. Cheers :-)

When the fault first happened I did do this. I phoned 2 "Gas Safe engineers". None of them answer so I left messages. Only one of them phoned me back. He said that most gas engineers nowadays don't bother with boilers as they are too much hassle. The other guy didn't even bother to phone me...

It's ok I've managed to find the fans for sale on eBay and the like. Will have a look at what is involved in changing it when I get home from work. The boiler is on it's last legs TBH so we might just end up buying a new boiler and have done with it as I've had to repair it several times over...

Ian, That sounds exactly like what's happening! As I turn the back of the fan by hand I can feel that it was 'heavy' but that will be the magnets clunking it round as it passes from magnet to magnet. I don't suppose you know what the fan is called do you and then I can Google it and try and...

Hi there, I awoke to find that my boiler was flashing an error code (3L) which, according to the manual, is a problem with the fan tacho. My boiler is a Buderus 500 - 24C. I followed the fault finding procedure in the manual (checking voltage to the fan board etc) and I found that when I just...

You were a great help Bob. Thanks :-)

Just a quick update on this (just in case someone finds this thread with the same type of tap as me - quite a long shot but you never know!). After a bit of googling I managed to find the exact type of tap that I have at "Inderkitchen" it's a "Paini Cox Spring Side Lever Monobloc Kitchen Mixer...

I'll investigate this and see if Google knows anything. The tap has been in-situ since I bought the house (2010) but may have been purchased from Lidl before then? As per my last question, does anyone know if the 18mm is a standard size of connection between the base and spout? Or are all taps...

Can anyone confirm whether an 18mm diameter is standard for these type of taps or not? Are they all different? Thanks

Hi gigz, Definitely not o-rings. Glued bottom edge and it cured it temporarily. oilboffin, thanks for that. Great idea. :-) Cheers slippyr4 :-)
