Connecting it internally is always the best option if possible :!:

just a thought but there may be some snow lying around that he could melt :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol:

It sounds like she may have a basicset up with NO Port Valves. Herhot water might be working off of gravity and her CH is pumped so basically the pump may be the only control on the system. When she selects HW all that happens is that the boiler firs up andthe heat circulates thru gravity. When...

Go for a jog?? :lol:

If hot water isyour main concern maybeyou should consider fitting a HE System boiler and a Megaflow. This will give you ur hot water u require andstill have theefficiency u are looking for. Downside is thesize of Megaflow , but this could possibly go in loft with boiler??

if no pressure lossis present it is likely that it is on the hot water side of boiler, possibly the hot water heat exchanger?

20m!! A new soil vent for sure rather than a Durgo.

the only thing u couldtry is pouring hot water down themetal cover in case thats where its frozen....a long shot but what have u got to lose??

how far away from the existing soil stack will the wc be?

If it is really the main switch that is off and u still have power i suggest wiring half the house to the roomstat so u get free electricity!!!

its a compact....stripped fan completely out of boile so i could remove venturi. cleaned it under tap and used servicing brush to make sure it was spotless.

The trickle of watergoing into the toilet means it is either overflowing or has something small stuck atthe bottom of the flushing valve thus not allowing it to seat properly. I would reduce the fill level first and see how that goes. BTW , if water trickles into the toilet it means it IS...

vokera were my last resort . i am a plumber/heating engineer to trade and this is the worst boiler problem ive ever come across. there is so many things it could 'possibly' be. Im gonna clean out the HW Heat Exchanger tomorrow just in case there is sludge build up and order a fan. If fan doesnt...

I fitted 70 Potterton Promax last yearon a building site and had to get engineer out to 12 of them that wouldnt work......not a good success rate in my opinion.

Very doubtful that the cavity insulation has done the damage as it is just fibres blown into the wall. Most likely the waste pipe has frozen outside because of the severe weather. If bath is empty pour some boiling water down it and pour some boiling water on outside drain pipe. It will...

It is my experience that when an existing bathroom is fed of off storage(ie. tank fed) , BG want to fit an open vent system to save changing bathroom from storage to mains water. generally this is because of leaks due to addedwater pressure. TBH i have done it a hundred times and had no real...

U will probably need to heat it with a blow torch. This loosens it off and breaks up the original seal allowing it to turn. U may have to heat it up a lot before it budges. ie the brass will almost be glowing!!. Clear away the insulation around the immerser before heating it up or it will...

It must be frozen as it does not matterif the hot water pipe is above the boiler as it is mains waterthat goes through it......sounds like u need to lag those pipes in the loft!! :!:

I use mine all the time with no problems....it is a Rothenberger one that has a built in guide....some of the cheaper ones have no guide thus producing a crushed look.
