Anna, Dont you have a thread already on this question ? Al

reading thru your post again, is the pipework clipped and secure ?. I think this is a common problem to the V4073 honeywell valve, but I may be wrong. Al

I would get some help for the stat. Not something you should fiddle with unless you are competent. Al

If you do a search thru' the forum you will find this is very common problem. It sounds like a divertor valve fault. Al

Your plumber might be able to replace the head of the unit (the electric part), it sounds like knackered motor/cogs. Al

Many thanks guys for clarifying the situation, I'm hoping to be on domestic heating systems again soon, this would help get more experience for a portfolio. Some people on the forums just seem to think they should be the only gas engineers in the world, and choose to insult. Think back to...

Im no moron bamber, So keep your thoughts to yourself. Al

I appreciate your response. I assumed the 3 days training would cover all you need to be safe etc. So in reality I need maybe the 50 days (heard a rumour) required to even qualify to sit ACS. Any comments welcome. Al

if you let ppl know what type of heating system you have, im sure they will help you. Al

My vote is for the 8444d. I use it with 3x3.0ah batteries and its excellent. I have not used the Bosch, as most of my gear is makita. Alan

The crimpers i have used are Nu-Press, you might be familiar with them, anyway the more modern versions actually let you know by green/red light to indicate good/bad crimp. For example i have been using the older orange Nu-Press unit (does not indicate if failed crimp), now more recently...

You have to repair it LIVE thats the risk, totally up to yourself lol Good luck Al

I would isolate expansion tank, close upstairs rad valves, drain partially from downstairs radiator. Wait until drip at faulty gate valve stops, then stop draining. remove and refit new valve. finish off by opening valves back up and testing/bleeding system. Al

What type of silicone are you using, it sounds like a cheap crap. Al

Any tips out there for chasing out a cast faucet, im told its ropeyarn/lead filled. I hope to clean out the fitting and refit with 110 soil onto a flexi for a pan. any tips welcome. Alan
