Thanks Gents, apparently they are no longer available. The reason I wanted one was to fit for an elderly women. The big handles would have been easier for her to operate than the fiddly small levers. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone know if Vokera still produce their trusty filling loop, the one with the two white headed chunky valves? My supplier can't seem to locate one and the 'net has drawn a blank.

Thanks for your help, gents.

I have a client with the above boiler who complains that it keeps locking in hot water mode. Boiler resets ok. This is an intermittant (groan) fault and every time I visit it works fine despite my best efforts to make it overheat. Diverter valve was changed a couple of years ago. Am I right in...

http://www.hep2o.co.uk/v2Onottouse1.htm Refer to secondary circuit as 'Ring main', but there you have it in black and white.

Remember reading in some Hep literature along time ago that pipe was not suitable for secondary return applications. Something to do with not being able to withstand very high temperatures for very long periods of time, 24 hours a day in this case. Maybe wrong, worth checking though. On a...

Cheers gents. Quite agree Paul I always take great care with that screw. Alpha service guy warned me about it a couple of years ago. I usually stick the pozi driver in it then give it a sharp tap. Haven't had one shear yet. If you buy the large seal/washer kit you get a couple of spare screws in...

Doing a diverter on a CB28 tomorrow and being a Saturday I want to be in and out pretty sharpish. I usually drain the top floor rads, but can the valves be trusted not to leak? Last thing I want at the weekend is to put the boiler out of action. Boiler is about six years old. Are the valves any...

http://brighton.gumtree.com/brighton/56/36594056.html What sort of job do you get for that money, I wonder.

Forgot to say that 8 grand may be a bit steep for average sized property. However, if you can get it , why not? This forum is full of installers that almost boast how cheaply they work. Rates never go up unless we all put them up! Common problem, you won't find a couple of dentists arguing how...

That's what I thought. Supply and fit full system for £2500? I was charging that in the eighties!

Magna clean is approx 2 years old. Customer had spanner and paperwork but no o rings. Didn't know they came with any. Is this a recent thing?

Cleaned out a magnaclean today, turned back on the valves and guess what? Yes they leaked. Rang Adley, they could send me a new pair for £14 but no suppliers stock them. Great. Managed to do a temp fix by wrapping ptfe around the spindle then tightening up the handle screw. Are these the screw...

Yes, I can see why you left, Paul. Thanks and Merry Christmas

Ok Paul I'll take your word regarding Tony. As regards the new generator, it's earth lead on the right (same side as black wire on plug from pcb). Existing was reversed. New one does alarmingly look a little flimsy. Why did you leave Alpha? During the last 'within guarantee' visit I had from my...

Rang Alpha tech and the guy wasn't that bothered about the incorrect voltage but suggested it was probably the generator. this turned out to be correct. As regards the orientation of the secondary leads, he said that the original one may be connected incorrectly and though this still worked it...

Evening Gents, Problem to the above, electrode and gap appear ok. Got voltage to spark generator though reading is 105v ac, book states 200v? genarator not making any clicking noise during sequence. How can I test the generator or is this more likely a pcb problem. Fault was intermittant until...

Glad it worked for you. Though you still may have have the pcb problem which can be common on Profiles. This may become an intermittant problem, or be fine for ages. ps my offer still stands!

The Profile doesn't have a reset as such, though the overheat can pop out sometimes. You'll find this if you look up to the under side of the botttom grey casing. You will see a small round hole and within this a red button with a cross on it. Push this in and see if it clicks. Though i'm...

Update: Removed H/exchanger and pressure tested. One of the intermediate sections was leaking. Managed to get hold of one plus all the 'o' rings. Stripped and rebuilt. System now up and running and one very happy customer. Not a particularly difficult job but a fiddly one. Thanks for all your...
