It can do but hopefully it will be ok. Most modern boilers will run the pump every now and then to keep it moving freely. Would help if you told us what boiler and set up you have there. I.e. Is it a combi boiler or open vented, etc. Some boilers also have a built in frost stat so will come...

Yes wd40 will help. Take head off. Check to see if the problem is because the pin has seized in the fully depressed position. Pushing down on it with a hard object will normally push the pin down. If it won't push down further then it is already fully depressed. Spray wd40 and tap the pin gently...

I would get something like this for the water supply. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/111372880548?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=m&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 This way you have a separate valve. Will need to be...

What a spastic.

Yes. That was the idea. It will no longer be thermostatic and will work off the thermostat on the wall.

And what was left of your balls.

They're much of a muchness to be honest mate. However if you want to be able to remove the fitting for any reason then you're probably best going for John Guest Speedfit. They others are more permanent and I don't think there's any real difference. Others here may say differently as...

Get a heating engineer has he/she will have a better understanding of the boiler connections. All depends if you are wanting wired or wireless. Obviously wireless is less work and depending on which one you go for and the commissioning involved I would personnally charge £80-£100 + vat...

It's only the one tank. The smaller one if you have two. The other is the cold water supply to bathroom and cylinder. When purging HP will flash whilst it is running through the purge process. It does sound like the pump is causing the problem. The symptoms are certainly indicative of...

If they are the type of adapters I'm used to seeing they are generally offset so there is a bit of adjustment available and you may be able to rotate them till they are 150mm apart. If not you can buy kits. One is called a shower plate I think that allows you to connect straight onto pipe...

It's the height between the outlets and cold water tank that is important. You've said they are 600-800mm. This is fine for a positive head pump. As long as water will run from the outlet unaided then it will be able to trigger the pump. You only need a negative head pump to compensate when that...

I would be checking the pump. It may still be spinning but possibly very weakly. The end result is heated water rising upstairs but struggling to get to the downstairs radiators. While pump is running put a cloth under it and undo the big slotted screw on the front. Try stopping the impeller...

The thin tube attached to the gauge maybe a bit blocked and as a result not sensing the water properly.

Just get a purpose made under sink water heater. Why on earth would you buy a shower to do this job? That is taking penny pinching to a whole new level.

Yeah I'm right. Swap C to B on the receiver of the DT90E.

I might be wrong but from memory I thought the room stat connections should be A and B. It sounds like by coming off C instead of B you have linked to the satisfied terminal as opposed to the call for heat so effectively it's live when satisfied and not when there is a demand. I'll check and...

Because they must have been using 230v switching so have linked the mains to the thermostat then back out to the boiler. As your boiler is 24v unless you want to fry your pcb you MUST take the 24v from the boiler to the stat then back to the RT connection.

I'm not but there are. If you are a gas engineer yourself you may be better joining the combustion chamber.

Yeah most have a shorter cupboard underneath, the top of which supports the sink.

It's called water hammer and is a deep vibration caused by a stiff washer within your toilets inlet/float valve. It's quite an easy job for DIY if you're quite handy or just call a plumber. Personally I would charge £60+vat to repair. Will cost you next to nothing to do yourself. I'm sure there...
