I've only copied what the estate management said regarding the Thames Water. I believe that they might have meant that they can guarantee 1 bar up to 10 metres, and after that it will start dropping at roughly 0.2 bar per every two metres. However, the reality from my personal experience of...

I live on a top (fourth floor) of a 16 meter high building in which the kitchen is connected to the water mains but the bathroom and the toilet are connected to the cold water tank. The estate management company has just reinstalled a new cold water tank in the loft rather than connecting...

Not sure if I could delete the thread but I have solved this now. Bosch adviser pointed to a door unlock feature where the filter is.

Our Bosch WVH28360GB washer-dryer short-circuited yesterday while drying and now I cannot open it because every time I try to turn any program on in order to open the drum it short-circuits again. Anything I can do to get it open in order to get the clothes out while I am investigating whether...

My 3-year-old AEG L14850 washer/dryer's drying now takes longer and not as effective as before. It has started a few months back when autodrying function stopped working resulting in AEG running the whole drying time cycle rather than stopping when clothes reached a certain level of dryness...

Thanks, David. This is very good to know and reassures me even further.

Oh great! One more new thing to investigate - whether to get a boiler with a stainless steel heat exchanger or an aluminium one. I did not reliase they had heat exchangers made from different materials and that it might be important. Will do a quick search of the forum posts. Thanks for...

On a light note, would a picture of a bunny on a boiler be a good reason for getting one as my slightly chilly kids seemed to like the idea a lot.

Yes, it's a copper 22mm pipe. This was suggested by a sales person who said the installer would be able to advise exactly whether this needs to be increased or not. He also said that it might be the case with WB 25SI or CDi 28 Compact but not Vaillant's. Trying hectically right now to get the...

The gas meter is in a cabinet just outside our kitchen. The pipe runs 3 meters in a straight line to the boiler through a hole in a wall and raises 1.5 meters vertically from the floor to the boiler inself.

Thanks, Tony. Happy to accept that it might need to be upgraded. I had by now two quotes and an appointment scheduled for tomorrow, but still cannot decide between those two boilers. In the meantime I have read a lot of info on these forums about Worcester Bosch and Vaillant boilers in...

Thanks again, hazetimesfive. Just wanted to clear something. I was told by Woscester tech support that CDi model is an old model and CDi compact is the new one that has been out for about 3-4 months. I understand that your recommendation is for CDi Compact and not CDi (as per your last...

Having researched more the recommended boilers, I am now deciding between CDi 28 and ecoTEC plus 831. Both seems very good boilers, with CDi28 being a bit smaller. I am not sute what the other major differences. Would be good to hear a couple of more opinions which one of those two would be a...

Thanks, hazetimesfive and m1key00. Much appretiate your quick responses. Well, after living with Ideal Response, I think I can live a few days without heat in order to get the right boiler. Would CDi 28 (or Vaillant Pro 28 ) be much bigger than 24SI as I don't have much room in the kitchen...

deleted - posted the same below

WB 24i Junior with flue for £962 (including VAT) from MP Moran plus £600 flat fee for the install. What would be an average price for an install from a reputable installer? I am starting to think that the engineer might be suspect, although Gas Safe registered.

Morning all. I need an urgent boiler recommendation, as yesterday afternoon our Ideal Response 80 was declared unsafe due to a cracked heat exchanger during an annual service. I live in a 3-bedroom flat that has 6 small radiators and one bathroom. Ideal Response did the job well enough but...

I highly recommend to anyone who posted their email addresses to quickly delete them, if you do not want to be swamped with SPAM or receive any other unwanted attention. http://www.ehow.com/how_6660663_stop-spam-junk-emails.html It's clear that an advice to post an email address came from...

Yes, exactly the same.

I replaced my ones with Drayton TRV4, following an advice on these forums a few years back. Cheaper plastic radiator valves from Drayton might fit too. Here is my old post, for more information. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=240549#240549
