what year mondeo is it? A friend of mine has been having problems with his car, glow plug light on then started cutting out at random when driving. His has been into ford and they think they have finally sorted the problem after having, new injectors, con rod (one was bent but would still run)...

Half a gallon of petrol and a match should sort it out.

Turn your shower on and watch the flame in your boiler, my shower kept running hot then cold and it was the boiler cutting out due to it over heating. Needed a new thermostat, gas valve and thermocouple in the end to sort it. Also is the shower a thermostatic one?

What car is it? Radweld might help seal any small leaks, you remove a pipe from the top of the rad and pour the contents of the bottle in and let it run round the system. It can seal most small leaks.

HAve a look on here http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/ there is loads of help from vaux enthusiasts on the site. You will find out loads about cavs on there.

Git it sorted finally. Turned out the thermocouple that he fitted was a universal one not a genuine one and it was not working properly with the new gas valve. One genuine one with a thermostat later and the boiler works perfectly, loads more hot water than ever before, no cutting out when the...

I would have thought so, it was a new valve fitted this morning.

The pilot goes out when i turn the shower off, if i have the CH set to be on after the shower turns off, the pilot stays lit. It will sit all day with the pilot going if nothing is turned on.

Ive still got more problems with my boiler and i dont know what else it could be. Its a Sime Friendly boiler and the other day the pilot light went out and would not relight. I got a gas man out and he thought it was the thermocouple, changed that, no difference. Then the thermostat, he either...

I wonder if i could get away with just one row of tiles around the bath and sink, fit the bath and then just get divorced, wont have to do any more tiling there then. :lol:

Im guessing that we will be starting saturday morning and will be working till late, around midnight, then early start but need to be done by early evening, ive got 100 miles to drive home. Would you say its possible to get the bath back in in this time? With adhesive drying, grouting around...

The fitter reccomended a magnaclean be fitted, would be around £100 on top of the bill. If the system is clean and protected from the start would a magnaclean be worth it? Also where does the sludge/black stuff come from in a sealed system?

Ive been asked by the mother in law to help fit her new bathroom "because ive done it before". Now ive fitted a new bath, toilet, sink into my old house and also sorted a downstairs loo out before but never done it complete with tiling, shower etc. Ive read through the tiling guide and it...

That is one hell of a pond, i wasnt expecting something like that, more just a big hole in the ground. Those fish are massive. Id like a pond like that in my garden though. You could go swimming with the fishes.

I wouldnt reccomend anyone not trained and corgi registered to work on a gas boiler. I know of someone who tried replaceing the thermocouple once on a boiler and left a scew open just a fraction. Later that night when they were in the bathroom running a bath they opened the door and the smeel of...

I read on the site that it had to have an annual inspection and that parts required are not included in this inspection, not bad saying it has a 2 year parts and labour warranty. If one of the parts are found to be faulty during this inspection they really should be replaced under the warrenty...

Is there anything else i can do before hand with regards to cleaning the system out if its not powerflushed? The new boiler wont be fitted straight away, im having to have the existing boiler repaired for the moment as we need hot water, would draining the system now and refilling a few times...

£350 for labour sounds very low, especially if also fitting £125's worth of pipework. Is the guy Corgi registered? Has he given you a written quote? Does he specify flushing and cleaning the existing system? I'd expect a few corners to be cut for that sort of money. He is a corgi registered...

Ive had a quote for fitting a new boiler of 1500 for a broag 28kw or around 1600 for a broag 35kw. Are these good quotes and decent boilers? They are guranteed for 5 years but ive never really heard of them before. The guy said it would be 650-boiler 125-pipe work 100-controls...
