The pressure gauge was shot and leaking. It had been playing up for a while and giving random high and low pressure readings from anywhere between 0.6-1.2 bar, but would never go any higher than 1.2 bar when the heating GCH or HW was running. Then a few weeks ago the HW temp sensor gave up which...

Agreed, mate. I just took a verbal beating and so retaliated. I'm thick skinned and give as good as I get. Anyways, it's always healthy to have a bit of banter. I apologise if I offended or upset you. I appreciate and respect others' knowledge in fields I don't quite understand, that's why I...

LOL!

Cheers, Tony. That's the information I was looking for.

No to all of the above. I couldn't afford to pay any outgoings/overheads as the job would be of no benefit to me and I would have had to charge more. I've never worked fully self employed, so point taken. If others had explained these things instead of creating hostility then that would have...

Arse licking much? I also don't appreciate you disclosing my location, I don't know how you know, but that is a breach of privacy. On a positive note, boiler guy is coming round tomorrow afternoon, so AGAS will be happy (y);)

Lol! This is going nowhere. You're reading my posts out of context. I WILL call my local guy to get the problem fixed, I just don't want to get ripped off like I have done before on more than one occasion. I was asking a rough price to see what was the average charge for fixing the problem I...

I'm weeding and putting weedkiller down on my mates drive, pressure washing, cleaning, repairing and refinishing. It's a big drive. It's taken me 4 days and maybe another day to finish it off. I know I've done a good job as that's what I used to do. It's not a difficult job to do well if you...

OK, fair point. Tell me, you know the diagnosis and the problem, how much would you charge to supply the part and do the repair and I'll tell you if I think that it is overpriced or not. I'm doing some work for a friend at his house and am working for 'mates rates'. One job I'm doing he was...

Must be grumpy Saturday on here. I hope you have a better Sunday. Thanks for your input, also.

I haven't touched the isolating valves...and you may want to check the dictionary definition of competent to understand its meaning and correct spelling, not compotent, as you have incorrectly stated. Quite incompotent of you. Anyway, thanks for your input.

Drained the radiator in the bathroom (where the boiler is situated) until the pressure gauge dropped to zero and that did the trick. The dripping has stopped and the pressure gauge dial is clearing up. What is the step by step procedure for taking off the old pressure gauge and installing a new...

Noticed a steady drip this afternoon coming from the boiler. Immediately switched it off fearing the worst. Took the cover off and it's the pressure gauge that is leaking. At the rear of the pressure gauge there is a cable and a spring, the spring sits inside the rear of the pressure gauge and...

Anyway... Problem sorted, new temp sensor. Full service and Landlords certificate due in April. Thanks for the helps, folks, not so many thanks for the BS waffle (y)

Yeah, that's the one, the 70 degree light flashing. Got someone coming around to look at it, a friend of a friend who is friends with my landlord and a gas fitter. Boiler probably needs a service and a few repairs. Shame as I'd like to have had a go myself. Plus the fact I don't have a...

@gas112 sent you a PM

May I add that the central heating is working, but not the DHW to the taps.

He has no problem fixing things, we had to have a new PRV fitted last year. I was just trying to fix it myself, but then read your comment about the PCB, so who knows? Plus the fact that if a new boiler is required (at £2000+) it will reflect in an increase in our monthly rent :)
