For some reason, a reason I am not clear about, my first thread got locked.. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/ideal-he12-boiler-thumping.589249/page-3 Since I still need help, I have no choice but to open another thread.. I am a little disappointed with the engineer i used.. He was mega...

Just to give another update on this.. Its still happening and I am no closer to a fix.. Although I have captured a video. I no longer think that its a gas/ignition problem.. Instead I think its "air" When I first noticed this issue, I am 90% sure it was at startup.. After the first visit from...

Disappointing news… it just did its “thumping” thing again…. So its not fixed….

Ex yes..exactly that. job cost £235 which i am OK with…

Just to give you an update if anyone is interested. One thing I should have mentioned was that the fan was noisy.. it was loud as it rattled and knocked and generally sounded worn.. The boiler guy came to fit new electrodes, but he didn't like the noisy fan as it could be providing a bad gas/air...

There is no tank in the loft.. Its a sealed system.. All cold taps are the same, so my theory was the same as you in that the hot system was heating the cold.. It runs cold after 10-15 seconds, but it is annoying. I am surprised as I assumed the kitchen was mains fed.. But it seems all cold...

I don't know what that means.. But it has triggered another observation which may be totally irrelevant... When you turn on the cold water, it gets warm and sometimes even hot before running cold.. I assumed that this was because it had sat in the pipes in the Airing cupboard for some hours and...

:) No problem.. I am worried that damage has already happened.. I have lived with this for a long time.. To long to be honest. When we bought he house, the sale was "complicated" as their Son caught Covid.. So we had to meet them the next day and hand the keys over like a Mexican Standoff.. The...

I am not I am not sure I understand what you mean.. It was ME who reported that it was igniting with a thump and I didn't need to "read" anything. After posting here, I was told by TWO neighbours that they had the same issue and it was caused by a gunked up condensate pipe, so it was worth a...

In fairness to the advice i was given here, i was told it could be a blocked condensation pipe by neighbours who had the same issue. the advice given was how to clear the pipe.. not how to fix the boiler.

Took the trap out.. No sign of a problem.. There was a bit of grit and sludge in it, but not much Sucked out the line anyway... But the problem is the same... Boiler still thumps repeatedly at startup. So it looks like I need to get a "man" in...

I am going to have a look tonight.. But I am not sure how I would get a vac in to do the sucking.. I assume all of the pipes are ridged and arn't going to move out of the way. I have looked at the service manual and you have to fill the drain with water before using the boiler, and to do this...

I am officially a dumb ass... It was right there.. I had been looking at it and never put 2 and 2 together. It comes from the wall, right behind the sink 'trap'... But thats the good news.. The bad news is (like most of the drainage in the house) its welded.. So impossible to get into.. Even...

I am going to look again but I don't think there is anything there... Only last week I fitted a new washing machine and cut bigger holes to get the pipes under the sink and there was nothing there... The back side of the boiler is towards the downstairs toilet and in the corner (behind the...

You would think so since the sink is only 2 units away.. But there is nothing there.. Just a standard trap and washing machine connection... I have had the whole thing appart when I moved in as it was leaking and there is nothing else connected.. Weird.

I have just been invited to a WhatsApp group of my estate and asked them about this.. They all have the same boiler and many have experienced the same thing.. Apparently it could be a blocked condenser pipe, which should drain into the sink plumbing.. But typically in mine it goes into the...

I just moved into a 14 year old house, and one of the problem I need to get fixed is with the boiler. It works fine.. it gives heat and hot water.. But when it starts up it sometimes starts "thumping" over and over and over. It does this for about 30 seconds.. Stops.. And then starts up again...

Good idea.. Got to source myself a bit of Oak/Hardwood now, as my stash of off cuts would be pine and other soft woods..

After fixing the handles/locks on 3 identical doors, I have now moved onto the front door which is solid wood (Oak). I removed the multipoint lock to take some measurements.. But when I put it back, 3 or 4 of the screws which hold it to the door just turn.. I tried longer screws but they have...

Just to give a final update on this incase it helps anyone else.. I took each lock out and 2 of them could be opened.. The one from the back door was a horror show as it had lots of parts of an old lock lying inside combined with the housing and some of the parts were bent. Either the original...
