Hi gasguru, many thanks for quick reply. Water seemed rather hot past week or so but I only noticed noises today so I think its been fairly sudden. Some good news... after posting I released the 2 valves (EC and Air Vent) as suggested in other topics and even spun the pump. It has...

Hi everyone. I was here around a year ago and you all really helped solve my then problem - my 10 year old Alpha 240P got new DV and manifold and 6 months later a new HE. Before & after the HE prob (should have changed it with the rest!) the boiler was working really silent and smooth...

Hi folks, Good news is I hadn't filled the system properly and misunderstood the noises so pump is fortunately not EX and now fully functioning with no noises... and the pilot stays on. From here this posting needed extensive changes from this morning as it was all rubbish thanks to my...

Hi, I hope I've fixed my email showing now. It may be I was clicking "reset" preferences and not "submit", so if there is a manual for Alpha P240P out there it is much needed. TO PAUl - thanks for the advice. I had a brainwave in bed and I got it wrong yesterday. The pump isn't ex, thank...

Hi, everyone, so we meet again here! Thanks Paul. Email was in my profile but didn't realise had to turn it on. Have activated it for now so should there be a 240P manual out there...!? On the other matter a bit embarassing but in haste to see if it worked after changing the valve we...

Thanks corgiman, I'm sure I ran it with air as I didn't know you had to run it with air or without. Anyway my next goal is change the pump, and I'll order it tonight BUT I'll be getting back to find how to fit and run it without air so I don't do it again. Otherwise anyone know of a...

TO AGILE &/OR TONY: Just as I posted a reply to the rest I saw your posting about the temperature whatever. Will check and see if its that also. Thanks Wendi

OK folks, THANKS CORGIMAN tried the venting and freeing but no result. TO GAS4YOU I think I filled and pressurised it OK as the pressure valve reads green when it was above green before the diverter change. By the "ch flow" do you mean the switch for heating and hot water otherwise I...

Browsing through the postings I saw this one. Would anyone still have a copy of the Alpha 240P boiler to email me? Thanks everso if there is as they are hard to come by. Wendiff

Thanks corgiman, If your still there what is venting, what is freeing, and don't tell me about the replacing yet as I aint through with the present repair. The pump was definately ok before I changing the diverter. A bit worried as I just might have changed the selection on the pump and...

Hi everyone, I'm back Just fitted everything to plan EXCEPT for the following probs, so anyone still got any ideas for me!: 1. The boiler fires up beutifully, hot water comes out galore but minutes later there is a very loud whooshing, croaking, or clanking sound (not sure how to describe...

Thanks again everyone - the comments have been really helpful. Just ordered the full diverter part and a service kit for the diafragm part. I'm hoping to fit it all this weekend so I can quickly see if I've got any more probs. Take care all Wendi

Hi folks. I'm sorry for this late return but I'm new to this kind of web and thought all help had ended with Kev 25v6's ominous posting referring to fiddling with gas connections. Only saw the last postings today as have been away for 2 days. Thanks for the link Paul but I cant find a company...

Thanks again, didn't realise there was a gas element as previous postings said a diverter valve could be fitted by a good DIY. Thanks

Thanks guys for speed and postings. I've checked the loop which appears to be closed and pressure is always steady at just over 2. The boiler fires up but the water does not get very hot anymore and the boiler cuts out and fires back every couple of minutes. I have found the diverter...

CORRECTION TO MY PREVIOUS POSTING ABOVE I have just checked and my boiler is an Alpha 240P and not 240/280E. Sorry.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I am having problems with an Alpha 240/280E boiler. I am desperate to conserve the boiler for 6 months as I am about to refurbish and relocate my kitchen and fitting one just now would cause havoc and high costs. I have read the...
