How did you get on after the Timeswich?prog link was cut (L1??)

They might be easy to Install - but like some other boiler makers out there some don't give a flying fek about the Service Engineers that have to work on them once installed! :(

Now the full story is emerging I am leaning towards the pump, it has probably stuck after a period on no use?? hopefully it will free up with a screwdriver look at the FAQ :wink:

Still been Burgled though!! - and there Keyholder has a username of "Scantronic" I smell a Troll! :?

Glad he's not my Landlord!! :shock: :lol: :roll:

Gaz how I read it is that an un-qualified REPAIRED the pcb!!! If you are a tenant do you have a current Gas Safety Certificate?? your Landlord is legally obliged to have this done at least annually by a qualified Gas Engineer - it is ideal if the appliances are serviced at the same time...

Sounds normal for an installation of this type & age Is your Hot Water heating up (it might take over an hour depending on the system design) if you are getting hot water then no fault if not check the feed and expansion tank has not run dry due to a stuck ball valve :wink:

If you are using a "HONEYWELL" PCB wiring centre, there are several links some of which need to be cut, one of the links is remote from the others and is the Timeclock Vs Full programmer link, this must be Cut otherwise symptoms you describe will be experienced :wink:

You might consider my responses "Useless" - However they are based on FACT! :roll:

Nothing to discuss! the pipe is the property of the Gas Transporter therefore the decision as to replace or re-use is theirs and theirs alone perhaps after inspection they feel that some of the pipes need to be replaced perhaps due to the proximity of the new main :wink:

Made by Potterton Flowsure+ is a 26.4Kw storage combi (not the best boiler in my opinion as parts are very expensive!!) A Grant Vortex Combi 26e would be a good replacement for this :wink:

The tank should be no closer than 1.8 metres from your boiler's flue terminall (the part that the hot gasses exit) the boiler itself may be closer than that it is just the flue terminal that is the issue. As for too close to the House??? there is no regulation provided the house has a fire...

What Bl***y painting!!! you failed to mention that!!!!! :roll:

The back boiler sits on a concrete hearth so if it's leaking i am pretty sure you would know about it! - my guess is that the ball valve on your small feed and expansion tank (usually in the loft) has stuck up and needs releasing, the noise is probably air being pumped around the system. :wink:

Keep a written record of all conversations with the ESP and details of all visits supported with any worksheets that you are given - you may need these later - just keep phoning ESP to report smell of gas they HAVE to respond are any neighbours noticing any smell? :wink:

The Grant Vortex 36 is a storage combi with a MASSIVE primary water store, the 14 litre vessel on the front of the boiler can only cope with a very small heating system in addition to the water contained within the boiler!! it is very common to see a 2nd vessel elsewhre in the system - the...

Commonly called "Black Dust" seems to be a problem in certain geographic areas, we had a few problems in the N. London area and Aldeburgh (Suffolk) over the past few years :wink:

I would also be very concerned about the implications of the CDM regulations - you might find that you are very liable under these regs!! :shock:

It is not only Gas appliances that have this issue - I have recently had a sparks in to replace my Kitchen downlighters with new units, the originals were installed too close to the joists, meaning the sparks has had to cut my ceiling about to get the new units into a compliant location, leaving...

Retrospective is relevant to your old cooker - the cooker is already installed therefore as long as it complied with the regs of the day and the offending woodwork is not showing signs of distress (scorching) then it would be classified NCS. HOWEVER a new Cooker is a NEW INSTALLATION and so it...
