Nut and washer both off - still stuck fast - brew whilst some WD40 sinks in then an angry full on assault? Thoughts?

Need to replace the element on a NEFF oven. Got it all off okay - but need to remove the fan for get at one of the screws. See pic below - have taken the bolt off - but does it now just pull off or do I do something with the sticky out bit? Don't want to force it in case i break something...

I have an open system fed from a feeder tank in the attic. oil fired Boiler downstairs. We have a hot water tank on the first floor. All works fine when CH turned on, but when we put water only on to heat the tank we get an air lock developing at the entrance to the hot water tank. THis...

Realise not really a DIY issue - but there are a good few people on here with experience of oil heating etc - hoping the mods help us out by leaving the post on here to get some good advice. :wink: Here we are, now effectively a day before Christmas and a three day break for the working...

The flue to our oil fired boiler runs through the wall and outside - whereupon it raises about 10 feet to a level above roof height. in the storms Thursday night the wind has blown and snapped the flue. I braced the flue and set the boiler to run to check if it was still working as a vent to...

Will do - but will require shifting some furniture about for access etc - I'll let you know.

So is it just tighten the vent - or replace the vent? :oops: Cheers for replies btw - much appreciated.

Not sure - how could I tell. The pump is directly above the boiler - the tanks is one room across - but no idea which way round it is set.

The flow pipe (top one) ie the one that heats up.....

Pump is belwo tank level - about 20 foot away in the bathroom (belwo floor) whilst feed for tanks is about chest high. I assume it is gravity fed.

Will go round and check - I take it I am just looking around joints/taps for any signs that they are not fully tightened? (Edit - I am keen - but lacking in any knowledge what so ever! :D )

Seems to have been there for a while - although I would think it is more frequent - possibly since it was drained to fit a new rad - but may be my mind playing tricks and they may not be related. The boiler fires up and heats water for a short while - then the rads heat up as none of the hot...

In the room directly above the boiler we have a hot water tank. The tank has a feed to and from the tank linking to the boiler. This feed goes through the coil and returns to the boiler. On the feed side there is a venting point. Continually I am finding (every 2-3 days) the water level...

It does have a cylinder and have vented that - think there was an airlock as left it overnight - came home form work - vented the usual vent point (Rad in the bathroom) and a tonne of air came out - now water heating up and pump running silently. Still sounds like there is no activity on...

Just a quick bump up the board before I get the plumber out.

Central heating pump appears to be playing up. Drained the system to put some Fernox in it - followed directions on here about draining the system. Refilled the system and bled at all applicable points - finally at the pump with the heating off. When doing this a small amount of water...

Okay - assuming I wantedto look at the nozzle myself...... give me a clue? I have absolutely no idea where/how. I have checked through the manual/documentation and nothing there, the only thing I have is this inscription on the metal plate.

I need to get the details of the nozzle on my Mistral boiler to a plumber tomorrow - the details on the metal plate inside say "Nozzle 165" does this make sense? Does not seem consistent with nozzle sizes/types when I look on the internet.

Windows were installed before we bought the property - i think about 8 years ago. These are the only windows in the property without trickle vents. This is where the damp is - another thing that makes me suggest condensation. Ground outside is rubber matting for kids play area - this was...

Thanks chaps - some good stuff there - condensation would be my call as the lessening of the deterioration has shown up with the use of the dehumidifier. Going to get the bathroom vented with extractor above the shower - currently just a window to vent. Is there a way of "proving" that is...
