Yes obviously, I'm not asking for a quote though am I. I'm asking if it sounds about right and that it is necessary to replace them all.............

This is exactly what I was thinking. If they are not sticking why replace them. What else can go wrong with them?

Hi, Had a plumber over today and just wanted to see if the price sounds about right. My brother moved into his house and none of the rads were getting hot so a plumber went over today and said that the stats were all stuck on the rads and that they all need replacement. Well I looked at them...

Ah, I miss read your post sorry P46. I'm not there now so will get my brother to try this. So if you can stop the shaft with your finger does this mean that the pump isn't working to its full capacity? Would it need replacing?

Ok so how do you fully check if its working? Is there anything else I can try before removing the pump?

Yes there is looks a bit crusty. Its a Vokera Linea

and what does this achive? Thanks

Ok I removed the bleed screw and switched the boiler back on. The shaft is spinning and water dripped out. Whats my next step? Thanks Help help.....

do I remove the bleed screw completly to access the shaft? If the pump is faulty i presume the shaft won't spin?

[/url] Its my brothers actually its just easier to say that otherwise half the post will be a load of unnecessary writing for my slow fingures. lol

Sounds like its running. How can I check it properly???

Hi Just moved into new house and tested the rads but they are not getting hot. The boiler pressure was at zero so i have re pressurised the system. The rad right next to the boiler is hot but none of the others are. I have bled the air from the rads too. I have been under the floor and...

didn't think so lol maybe i should stick to being a spark!!! I haven't started yet and the pressure on the boiler is at zero. (this is my brothers house that he's just moved into) so don't even know if the rads work. Surely even if the rads are off the pressure would show on the gauge? One...

Thanks penfold. Is it acceptable to use the snap on plastic end caps? This is for a perminant use. Also there is no need to connect the flow and return together is there once the rad has been removed, right?

Hi. I want to remove a radiator and cap the rises off. It runs on a combi boiler so can I just isolate the flow and return at the boiler, remove the radiator , cap the pipes(is it ok to use the plastic click stop ends?) turn on the values and re pressure up boiler with the value below the...

Evening, i'm looking for a crimping tool for 10mm upto maybe 25mm. Don't particually want a hydraulic one as they are big and heavy and really just want something i can throw in my tool box. Can anyone recommend a good one thats a reasonable price? I see this one on TLC - what you think...

Yes I will replace the socket and this is no problem. I just don't understand the reason for it tripping the rcd on the other side of the split load board and not the rcd that is that its controlled by..

I have a situation where the RCD is tripping. I have only 3 circuits on a split load board. One side has the lights and the other side has the socket radial (3 sockets) and a door entry supply. l plugged the hoover in today and wiggled the plug in the socket as the socket is intermittent (i...

Yes so we are saying that if fact it should be earthed in this case. So how do you determine the size of the earth to the tray or trunking?

of course the sheath will be earthed.... So even with pvc covered pyro the tray need no be earthed providing the tray does not enter a flat?
