Try replacing the washer/diaphragm inside the float valve. James.

Technically, the condensate pipe is part of the flue system. If the trap inside the boiler for whatever reason was not full, POC's (products of combustion) including gases such as Carbon Monoxide could spill into the living area. James.

Hi, 1) The seal is not suitable as it is not recommended by Ideal. 2) The boiler doesn't just require a service, it needs a fault diagnosis so tell this to your service engineer when booking them in. 3) Chances are a new seal will not cure the problem. James.

+1 for the Spirotech MB3. The installer of the boiler buddy had a bit of nouse by installing these leak prone devices under the floor to minimise water damage. To be fair, when these first came out, there wasn't much choice available other than the expensive original Spirotechs. James.

That's why I see lagged gas pipes. :lol: James.

Firstly, I'd like to know which of my comments were derogatory or abusive. Secondly, any work carried out on the ignition module requires the removal of the front cover. The front cover of the boiler forms a seal that should be maintained. So, any work requiring the removal of the front...

How do you define a clean system Tony? I'm intrigued. James.

WB is no better than Intergas on technical support. Also why do 'big names' like WB & Vaillant use cheap pss poor plastic and neoprene parts that cause maximum damage when they fail taking out other components too? At least Intergas do not include obvious weak points in their products. I believe...

Tut tut Agile, you should have given Pete more than 8 minutes since his first reply for him to recommend hiring a RGI. Oh I do love it when the customer rings me up saying that his gas valve has failed. James.

Is the enclosure sealed internally along the base of the enclosure to the tray? James.

Small world, I came across this today too. New valve is approx £27 plus VAT plus delivery. Cheaper to install an external filling loop. Guess what I did? James.

All I can say is if you are diligent with your money, open an account and put the money there. From a customers point of view, why would you pay someone for something that has not gone wrong. As a businessman it's just consistent turnover. Once you join the scheme, any fault that occurs will...

Well done mate. Good to see all went well! James.

Remove a TRV head from another radiator, one that you don't mind running continuously when the heating is on. James.

Having tried the Magnacleans and the TF1, I now fit the Spirotech MB3. Mainly constructed of brass, easy to install and filters non-magnetic particles as well as magnetic debris. They also come with a 20 year guarantee. It's a no brainer. James.

Ah right, so the black wires are 24v and not volt free. Still makes no difference in the OP's case. James.

Mark, stop messing about, either take my advice or hire a professional who will basically do what I've suggested. James.

A 24/18 can only produce a maximum of 8.5 litres/min of hot water at a temperature difference of 35°C. Whereas the 28/24 produces a max of 10.5 litres/min with the 36/30 and 36/40 providing 13 litres/min. The max heating and hot water outputs can be easily adjusted. Anyway, has anyone worked...

If you looks underneath the boiler you will see the data plate, look at the serial number, what are the first 4 digits after the '-'? James.

How old is it? If registered with a Platinum Installer you will have 5 years warranty on the boiler providing that it's been registered and serviced annually. By the way, who would install a 24/18? James.
