Hi, I have attempted to sort out problem with diverter valve. Once I have removed diverter valve actuator head I could see valve body. On one post here it was suggested to take apart valve by removing central part but NOT 4 screws holding valve head in place. I could not see how this...

thanks will give that a go

thanks for the advice, if I take cartridge out do I need to change any washers / gaskets etc to prevent leaks or the original can be reused. does it require any special tools or procedures.

Hi all, I have IDEAL ISAR combi boiler, 14 month old. The problem is that when heating is OFF radiators are hot/warm so house is to warm. After reading manual and conducting some observation I can find the following: Periodically burner is ON to heat up internal DHW plate...

Thanks Agile, It's made by Beaumont ( or at least is branded as such) , I found new unit ( 3/4 mixer for £130) it's interesting that they offer 10 year warranty for new products? I got phone No from merchant that supposed to be manufacturer? So perhaps I may be able to get...

Hi, Selector handle came off on traditional style manual bath and shower mixer. I have taken handle appart and found that rod that is used to lift internal selector plunger is broken. This is where the handle is screwed to the body of the mixer. This piece is made of brass, on one...

So does that mean it's not possible to get these components working with combi?

it may be but it doesn't help much

Agree, but as I got these for free ( kit is new , boxed ) it's worth using these , saves on wastage. :D provided they are suited

Hi, I have Drayton Lifestyle LP711 - 7 day Timeswitch and Drayton RTS9 room thermostat. I need to connect this to Glow-worm 30c1 combi boiler. RTS9 has volt free switch so it should be suitable for combi boilers. What confuses me is that diagram on Glow-worm shows...

I have purchased new wax diverter valve assembly. Instead of replacing the hole valve I have decided to take front section off the new valve. This is held by 2 small hex holding screws. This way only 2 of the pipes at the front will need disconnecting. The new front part of the valve fits the...

If I change capsule only as described above do I need to drain CH water out or only HW ? As boiler is boxed in to get to back nut on diverter valve I need to remove some wall ceramic tiles also !!! Is there any trick to change this valve without easy access to behind bottom connectors? Hence...

Hi, If I change the whole valve do I need to have access from back? I mean do you mean I remove four pipe connectors two 15mm and two 22mm or just two 15mm. There are some small hex screws holding what looks like one section? I have seen valve on internet and it has tread on the back?

HI, Had plenty or problems with boiler to date. Boiler is Puma 80 and problem is that radiators are not getting hot but HW is fine. I have searched this forum and used my own tests to conclude that likely problem is vax capsule diverter valve. This is what occurs. DHW is fine but it...

it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to reach temperature, but even then when on clear run it drops off nearly to zero or actually off the scale as when cold on start. In traffic temperature goes up faster in 20 minutes perhaps. It points to open flow on thermostat , it's stuck open.

Mondeo y01 (new shape) 2l petrol. It takes long time for water temperature to reach working range. water level fine. If in traffic temperature goes up if I turn heathing on it drops. I have concluded it must be stuck thermostat. How can I change it, is there anyone with instructions pictures...

Gloworm 30ci suffers low pressure red light comes on in the morning. Pressure stuck on 0.5 bar. No leaks noticable on the system. Unable to fill the system and pressure is stuck on 0.5 bar. When filling up plenty of water comes down the boiler out of brass valve that sits at the end of copper...

Just to update forum on outcome. I have apparently fixed the problem, it was blocked pipe hose (flexi). Only problem it may be now that whatever particle was blocking the pipe may block it again as the particle was flushed in the pressure expansion reservoir. The other problem I...

Hi, Still same problem with loss of pressure does anyone agree/disagree that RPZ valve ( Reduced Pressure Zone) could be problem?

Gloworm 30ci suffers loss of pressure. Works fine but when cold pressure drops under 0.5 bar. No leaks noticable except when filling up. Some scale on metal under PZV brass drain off. I suspect leak on Reduced Pressure Zone Valve. As I try to fill boiler there is leak on brass part of this...
