Your opinion on the EV pressure is exactly what I thought, as the pressure is already going to be fully taken up by the (cold) 3.5 bar pressure, and when the volume of water is heated it will be even more. As I didnt have my pressure gauge at the time of the visit (rarely need one apart from...

I know that the ev & cylinder are made by different manufacturers, but there is a data sticker on the cylinder which agrees with the ev that the pressure should be 3.5bar. Am going back tomorow with pressure gauge to confirm what's going on inside...

I did try to pump it up in-situ with my car foot pump but no dice after 2.3 bar, thought my hands were going to fall off. Might try removing it and using the foot pump as intended (ie on the floor), save my puny arms...

Question to all about the above. Have unvented qualification but little experience of installing or maintaining them. Went to one of these with a dripping safety pipe. Water coming from the T&P valve not other 8 bar PRV. Water pressure in area v.high (above or close to the 3.5 bar...

Hi all, Have got the above van, dci70 1.5 engine. I'm in London, and need new alternator and clutch. I'm guessing the new alternator can be done in 30-60 mins, is that about right? Any idea how long the clutch may take? Also: any ideas how much mechanics in London charge for labour...

I could have made good use of an electric freezer at least 3 times this week! Get one if you can afford it mate! Eg: went today and diagnosed a faulty pump in an ex-l/a block at 4pm. Ball-o-fix pump valves which are guaranteed to leak when touched so new valves required. Crappy 1980's...

Cheers, didnt end up doing it though; the customer baulked at HRP's £290 price for the heat exchanger!! Says he'd rather a new boiler...

Got a heat exchanger to do on one of the upward firing Suprimas, has anyone done one of these before and how bad are they? May have to do the burner too, is that likely to give me headaches? Cheers

Bit late to the thread but here goes: Have got an inherited Potty Flamingo, no probs ever with it apart from astronomical gas bills during winter. Have got a Vaillant 831 ecomax in the spare room, has been gathering dust for some months now. Might put in in some punters flat and get...

Hi all, can't find this on search and don't have a copy of the installation book for this: Got an Ideal Isar M30100 giving intermittent heating, occasionallly displays code H3, anyone have enough experience of these crappy boxes of anguish to know what the code is? Thanks

Where's Agile? Probably fixing one of these as we speak...

The problem with friendly independant garages is that I don't know one which I can trust in my area (N.London). I'd prefer to do it that way, but I just don't have sufficient confidence in the motor repair industry that the majority of garages will actually do anything to the vehicle for the...

thats a good point: is there a way to integrate a new head unit with the dashboard & steering column volume control? this is getting to be v.complicated, I might take it in to be done by a professional! Cheers

When you say component speakers, is that cones which do bass, midrange and tweeter all in one? That would be an ideal solution. Regarding the wiring, is it normally accessed from the engine bay? I can't see any other way to get at it...

Hi all, got this new Kangoo van with the worst quality sound system I've ever heard. Currently 2x speakers in the top of the dashboard where it meets the window, and standard tape player. I'm going to be in the van about 12 hours a day for the next couple of years and as a bit of an...

OK, sounds like it may have to be a new clutch then. I'm taking it to Renault in a couple of weeks time to do a 'full service' (300 quids worth :cry: ) which apparently includes parts - not sure if this will be covered though. Thanks for your help guys

Thanks for your reply, if it is just a heavy clutch what would the best solution be? New clutch? I can't go on with it being this way, ill have a limp in 6 months time! Cheers

Hi all. Have a 2003 (facelift) Renault Kangoo SL70dci, only got it a month ago or so. Its runs like a dream, but has a very stiff clutch pedal. It's leaving me with a very sore left leg after a days driving. Someone has suggested to me that the hydraulic cable can be 'bled' to reduce the...

Some further info, when this was happening the lights would turn on for 3 mins or so, then off. But if I turned the switch off for 5 mins or so, they would then come on for about another 3 mins. This happened a number of times, thats why I thought it may have been something to do with heat. All...
