Had this exact problem on my Britoni SE 80 - the boiler would start the ignition sequence, fan would switch on along with the pump... and it would just sit there without trying to spark. After a few seconds it would lock out with the flashing 60. In my case it was the PCB that was at fault -...

vodafone do a monthly 3G package which you can cancel at any time. Not sure on the price to get the usb 3g adaptor but might be worth considering - used it in the back of beyond in oxfordshire and got a decentish 380kb/s out of it.

If you mean the Britony Combi 80 or 100 SE, the 3 way valve is controlled by a diaphragm which is in the unit above the valve itself. The diapragm pushes a pin downwards when the water pressure changes upon switching a hot tap on, pushing the valve downwards. I remember there is a rubber o ring...

Every time a java update is installed, the old version of the runtime is left behind. Therefore you can in fact remove all but the highest numbered version to save some disk space...

Although I'm not a heating engineer, I do have the exact same 'boiler', and have had to replace various bits over the last 3 years. If you download the parts list from the chaffoteaux website you can check out the exploded diagram of how it all fits together and trace the route that the water...

Poorly written/buggy usb hub driver will be the cause. Best thing to do is update to the latest driver. You'll need to find the make/model of the usb hub & then search online. If the USB hub is included with your motherboard you should be able to go to the motherboard manufacturers website and...

Hi, I'm currently redesigning my kitchen layout & have a few issues with the placement of the water main. The current live water main is lead piping & is located in the front corner of the room. With the kitchen layout we want this will no longer be hidden behind the kitchen units so we...

Actually, subrogation refers to the insurer assuming the rights and liabilities of the policyholder/claimant when a claim is being made against their policy for an insurable event. As part of this, the insurer assumes the right to pursue a responsible party for their costs, in place of the...

Hi, I have the SE80 and have had to ask a few questions on hear whenever things break - which they do. Too often. If 40 + 80 indicates low system pressure then it is no suprise the boiler wont fire up. If you have 2 bar pressure cold in the system it is plenty (should only be 0.8 bar for...

Hehe.. This one is about 6 years old and so far I've replaced the PCB due to failure, replaced the water control module, replaced the diaphragm on the 3 way valve, and now all this. Absolute sh1te. But having spent this much it's too late to just pull it out and replace. Incidentally, there...

Having tried to dry the pump out further just in case it worked fine for about 5 seconds after switching back on, then settled back to a very weak output. I can easily stop the spindle rotating with a screwdriver in the bleed screw. Pretty much sure it's had it now so going to have to replace...

Well, replacement parts arrived and are now fitted. I've had to take the pump head apart to drain out the water which entered it & have dried it out. Having refitted the pump head and refilled the system it all worked fine for about 30 minutes then the pump stopped working. Removing the bleed...

Thanks for that Kev - will definitely try that. The PCB looks fine & still powers everything else correctly with the motor connected, so fingers crossed it will be fine. Ben

Hi, Last night the water pressure sensor on my combi boiler (the lamentable Chaffoteaux Britony SE80) fell off. Turns out the screw body that attaches it to the water pipe was made of plastic that had aged quite badly. Unfortunately this is the one thing sited directly above the pump, so the...

Well, I've replaced the PCB and now all works well. The odd thing is that after testing the old PCB with a multimeter at various points it started working flawlessly again - which suggests a poor connection was disturbed somewhere. Cant find it however - all joints look fine. One thing I...

Hi, I've ordered a replacement PCB as thats my best guess given what I know so far. I'll post back when it arrives and i've fitted it. I'll then investigate the existing PCB in more detail if it is at fault. I don't think it's the solenoid in this case as no voltage is ever applied to it...

Agile, What I mean to say is that if the HT leads are disconnected from the generator, which then fires, the current arcs across the two spade terminals on the generator itself. If this doesnt happen when the spade plugs are removed, then it cant be the HT leads which have failed, as they...

The Baker, Thanks for the suggestion - I've already checked for dry joints as given the intermittent nature of the problem it was my first thought - unfortunately the board looks like it came out of the factory only yesterday! I'm going to recheck anyway just in case but everything looked...

Hi, I year ago I bought a house with a Chaffoteaux Britony SE80 (dont laugh). At the time the boiler wasnt working - when it tried to light it would lockout after a while with a flashing 60 degress LED (the manual says this is a fault with the Ionisation PCB). Anyway, about 1 time in 30 it...
