No wood pellet boiler works rather like an oil boiler. On and off. But due to slow heat up and cool down uses a thermal store. Had mine installed for free last july. :-) Crazy government throwing tax payers money away again.

Maybe I will go for a half way house of having a floor standing toilet back to wall but with cistern etc behind the wall.

No partition wall isn't an option due to a window location. I support I can just run long bolts through the wall to a steel bar across the back side of the wall.

There should be two levers on the 2 port valves from the description you give. You should be able to move the lever across and latch them open. If you now switch the hot water on and turn the tank thermostat right up you'll get central heating. Sounds like the motorised valve for the central...

I find it an issue where there are no floor boards and extra insulation has been added so you can't find the joists. It is also a distance from the hatch to the boiler. Took one look at one job and said get someone else or new boiler to be installed downstairs.

Hi group, I am looking to install a wall hung toilet onto a brick wall. All the information I see seems to related to a concealed frame behind the wall hung toilet so this wouldn't work in my case. I have a small room behind the bathroom that I can use for the cistern. Access from...

Usual for a boiler like this would be plumber registers the boiler with gas safe you as the home owner register the boiler with the manufacturer. The manufacture if feeling particularly pedantic can come out and if they see the checklist sheet isn't filled in can simply refuse to look at it...

Yes seen the same just worse. I took one look and told them to stop using it and left it in pieces so they couldn't keep using it. I don't think the lady of the house was pleased

No it will be fine without and use the wall thermostat downstairs. It will switch the radiators off as required. TRVs generally give more trouble than they are worth.

3 port valve is sticking change the whole valve.

Possible loosing water due expansion vessel failure which is a very frequent problem. It will be dumping the water outside. Possible cavitation cause by poor circulation if you have all thermostatic valves on the system.

Smoke definitely has a blue look to it. Not loosing any coolant I will keep an eye on the oil as I think it is probably burning oil. It is an automatic so have no clutch. Seems strange only going on tight right bends sometimes.

Yes I have a compression tester somewhere. I expect overnight if oil has slipped into the cylinder. it should have high compression. Strange it isn't burning on startup though.

Could be stem seals as it only did it the first time around the aroundabout. second time around it didn't do it. I'll have to do some more experimentation to see what happens.

No engine has been running perfectly up until now. I can't say on the engines treatment before I got it as I've owned it about 8 months. But I have done about 10-15k on it and serviced with oil change etc. The condition of the oil looked pretty good when I got it. Engine oil light isn't coming...

I tried it again today and sure enough hard right around the roundabout and rattle from engine and blue smoke. Definitely oil me thinks. Strangely I tried it again on the next roundabout but nothing that time. I am wondering about valve stem seals. I think I will take the plugs out and...

Oil is medium half way between low and full.

Hi Group, I have just started to have a problem with my Hyundai Atoz 1.0 litre petrol engine just under 70k miles on the clock The first instance was yesterday when just pulling onto the motorway and accelerating to overtake a lorry there was a cloud of smoke from the exhaust and I...

Some people like underfloor. Some people dont. Just the people I come in to contact with all have problems with it. The main problem I have with it is the speed of response of the system. It can takes hours to heat a room from cold where radiators will usually have it done much quicker...

I would guess because the boiler is working for long periods heating the underfloor (awful stuff) the 2 port valve to your hot water tank is allowing it to heat the cylinder at the same time hence your hot water is getting very hot. Turn the temperature of the boiler down will cure the problem...
