    No Heat

    I know the type of system you have. Unfortunatly if the pump is running and working ok then you have a blockage :cry: . When you drained the system all the sediment and sludge collected in the low points in the pipe work. It has now gathered some where between the pump and the manifolds where...

    Central Heating Air locks

    There are a number of factors that could be the cause of this. Did the radiators ever get hot after the boiler was changed? Are these radiators more than 6m in height above the boiler? Was the pump change dwhen you had the new boiler installed? If the pump is in the boiler let me know what...

    Major functional parts like gas valves and maybe the burner will still be available as they will have been used on other boilers. Gasman :wink:

    Burning smell from boiler

    This problem is not air as the boiler airs itself, provided the auto air vent is open. This is located inside the combustion chamber and has a cap like a car yyre valve make sure it is open half way. As Chris mentioned the last time the diverter valve could be jammed, do you get plenty of heat...

    RAVENHEAT LS80 COMBI BOILER

    Sounds like a gas pressure problem to me. Call the people who installed it back because you will have a guarentee. if your rads have trv's you won't need a room stat. trv's are better anyway because they offer individual room temp control. If you call out Ravenheat and the system isn't...

    Central heating - radiators emptying - help!

    Masona - you're a genius! I've found the pump instructions an spotted the arrow. It's pumping downwards. I followed the pipe up to the F&E tank (feed & expansion!), and it's the one hanging over the rim of the tank - clearly designed for filling, not emptying. The pump is pumping air into...

    Central heating - radiators emptying - help!

    No idea what an F&E tank is, but the small tank in the loft is full, and is currently overflowing (about three drips per second) and the main water tank (for the bath?) is full too. I don't know how to bleed the pump - there's one control which seems to regulate the speed and a slotted round...

    Central heating - radiators emptying - help!

    No idea - can't see an arrow, but then I can't see much of the pump without removing it completely. It's oriented so that the writing on the face of the pump is upside-down, and it's located below the boiler (i.e. the boiler connection at the bottom with respect to the writing [geographically...

    Central heating - radiators emptying - help!

    Hi. Three days ago a gas engineer replaced the pump on my central heating system. Since then the upstairs radiators have needed bleeding frequently (more than once a day), and are often almost empty (I'm pretty sure there's no leak in the pipes!). Various gurgling noises are heard from the...

    Baxi Barcelona Lockout

    We've had a Baxi Barcelona installed for about 4 years. About 6 months ago it started to howl when it starts up. A really loud almost trombone-type noise comes out of the boiler, and is reverberates around the house as the noise is carried along the water pipes of the central heating - not...

    Change door orientation

    That's not what I meant. I mean can you change a door to open from the left to right instead of opening from the right to left. I want the door to open the other direction. But I don't know what I need to do???? :? :?

    cement blocked in a copper u trap for bath drainage

    :( A plumber I used (who I can't find now) fully blocked my copper drain pipe with concrete he used while setting a new bath tub. I've tried high pressure hose, and an 'eel' to no avail. Any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated.

    Earth bonding

    Thanks - that's really useful The void is big enough to stand up in and is accessed through a removable panel, so that should be OK. If I lived in London I think it would be called a compact and bijou bedroom. With a 12 inch soil pipe running straight through the middle of it..... :wink...
