so what do you think everyone else bases their advice on? hearsay?

yes they can go either way, you don't have to have a filling loop valve, any valve will do the job as long as you have an nrv in place which technically should go on the mains side, but its no big deal either way. Take you dont use the inbuilt filling loop in the boiler then

if your gonna alter it then it makes sense to do that first, then remove the rad as you would any other and decorate.

yes its that easy. But just to clarify make sure your flexicom was manufactured in the last few years or so, else the software wont accept it. First 2 digits of serial no on bottom of appliance will tell you the year.

stop talking out of your ar5e. I stated a fact which I can back up but not here. Where did i say it was ok to have such a pressure drop? where did i say i would walk away happy. I was merely pointing out that an undersized supply causing a 5mbar drop across the carcass will not effect...

filter is probably blocked, its in the return iso valve. drain the system and unscrew the end of the valve, remove and clean filter. edit: and the donate some money to charity as you have just saved yourself a professional repair

the SL on goes to Rf on the terminal in the boiler plug, sounds like you have sussed the rest...personally if your flexicom is less than 3yrs old I would recommend you get a refund and instead invest your money in a Climapro rf2 which will give you much better function including modulating...

sounds like a clown installed your boiler and one of his disciples has come to service it. get a service plan with BG, let them have fun with it, Optimax is one of the most unreliable heaps of junk the world has seen, you'll get good value out of BG.

what are people using these days to drill hard porcelain? Ideally need something I can pick up locally, screwfix, merchants etc... Drilling small holes for rawlplugs, ideally something that will last a while, tried a bosch tile bit but wouldnt even go through the first hole :evil:

just so you know, I can tell you for a FACT that a 5mbar pressure drop won't affect the way your boiler works or its efficiency. However Im not willing to disclose gas safety information on the open forum, only to RGIs in the CC.

this is the problem with this forum now, too many arm chair experts with not a hint of experience or fact to back up stupid comments. Op will be royally confused now

I have fitted 4 insinkerators in the last year or so and they work ok, I have also removed about 7 and probably another 5-6 other brands and replaced with basket strainers. I agree they are not a good idea, but peoples gets what peoples wants :P i run a business not an advisory service 8)

not uncommon in some 60/70s flats to have wau on u or se duct, so they would have blocked your neighbours flue into the duct but the duct will be open still, nothing to worry about

intermittent faults are tricky, but F1 on one of these shouldnt be too challenging, I suspect a lack of quality servicing.

no they just dont condensate alot cos they are sh1te. Been to a couple where traps had dried up. Try running the heating at a lower temp should sort it.
