HI Guys, Yup, battery changed 14/11/09 just checked my book. When i turned off the power switch then the keypad went dead for a few minutes. Then, how strange the power light flashing on the keypad with the day light illuminated as if it was now working ok on the battery back up. I just...

Hi Guys, Wonder if you can help. My alarms are quite old now but still working. I had the Battery replaced last november, i have sensors in all the rooms (all working fine) This morning at 4am the inside bells were ringing really loud. I tried to disable via digi keypad, but after about 10...

Thanks....does that mean then , that if options board not fitted, then the inbuilt programmer is useless? Or has it a use? In that case then, whats the Flexicom Heat only like, although i dont think this one has the SE heat exchanger does it? I dont see the point in buying a boiler with things...

Thanks for that info. I have just read on G/worm site that if you send off copy of Voucher back of scrappage then they will give anothers years warranty, hmmmm, all these decisions, its just so hard to choose. Its now between the Remeha and Ultracom (purely cos its a tried brand) Another...

Thanks guys, keep it going, lol! I thought ultracom only had 2 yr warranty? Or is it just reg installers offer 5 yrs? Dont think installer is registered for G/worm though. The G/worm is good in the fact it modulates down low to 5 i think, whereas the Remeha goes down to 6kw.. OMG...lil...

Hi Guys, Long time no speak :wink: Well, i would like your inputs for and against if u wouldnt mind. Open Vent Condensing Boiler choices are: Remeha Avanta 18v (stainless steel HE)5yr Parts 2ys parts n labour Worcester Bosch 18RI (10ys warranty on HE)2 yr warranty Glow-worm Ultracom...

Guys, Thanks ever so much for all your thoughts, so much to think about. Made it worse last night, i phoned my Aunt cos she knows a lot of plumbers etc. When i told her what i was thinking, she said oh i have just had a WB combi fitted and its brilliant. She has a rather large house so assume...

Hi, Thanks for your reply, it was purely down to the price. Not many people use recommended installers for Vaillants, WB so why would these be any different apart from another 2 year warranty? What i am saying is, i could insure the boiler after the standard 3 year warranty cheaper than the...

Hi, Thanks for your help lads, its much appreciated. Yep, i think i have open vented boiler now old Ideal Stelrad wlx rs60, still just chugging, lol! Bit like me! I am in Essex (not quite blonde yet though!!) :) That was another reason keeping to regular, cos of pressure on my pipes, does...

I have just taken a look at these on a site that sells them, could only find one though! Would the Avanta 18v be big enough for a 3 bed bungalow (not large!) The other ones they sell say system boiler, but are these different? Does the Avanta 18v go with a seperate water cylinder? I am...

Hi, Yup, forgot about those and read really good reports, but i dont know anyone down here knows anything about them. Will ask the plumber when i can get any replies from them all, LOL! Thanks

Hi guys, After ages and ages and lots of research into a boiler change i have decided maybe that we are suited to keeping a 'regular'condensing boiler to replace our 24 year old one in the garage, purely down to the pipe runs i think we have rules out the combi (garage around 25 ft away from...

OOps, just reread and seen the price of the boilers, around £800 :)

Hi Tony, Wow, thanks for your help. My heart is telling me to keep to the cylinder system really. Just tempting for the extra space, buy hey, ive lived with the airing cupboard like it since the bungalow was new 22 years ago, LOL! It will be less pipework, but then again a new cylinder, its...

Hi Agile, Thanks for your reply. Yes i do have a yellow tank! I am now swaying back to a combi,doh! Speaking with others, they say that all new boilers whether it be just heat only or combi are as reliable as each other, due to the fact that these days its mostly electronic boards and so on...

Hi Guys, The inevitable has happened and after around 22 years my Ideal WLx RS60 boiler needs replacing. Yesterday i was all for a new combi, but the more i have read and thought about it, i have decided to go for a condensing boiler and keep the hot water cylinder etc.Cannot be doing without...

Heheheee....love the diagram too, but i can mitre with a saw but wanted a better finish with the scribe. I have JUST finished...taken all flippin day. Had to plane a bit here and there...floor up and down like a yoyo....me and hubby at each others throats...THANK GOD he has gone to bed now! It...

Hi, I intend to have a go at scribing my wickes 4 inch mdf skirting. Am i correct in saying i need to buy a coping saw. Also, please can you tell me what nails i would need to bang to hard plaster wall to hold in place alongside the no nails (in my experience of this it always springs out in...

Me again! OOps!! Forgot to mention that fitting the wooden infill i would make a noggin first in the ceiling for a fixing! Cheers Lorraine

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The artex ceiling was done from new when the place was built some 18years ago now. As for making the hole bigger, i still wont be able to do the screw up at the side of the ceiling light rose. What i have thought of is making a wooden round block to fit inside the...
