As CorgiG has said, form over Function.... Back in the days of 'proper' apprenticeships, one task before installing a pair (taps came as pairs back then ) was to 'break' the tap, ready for the day to day maintenance guys who would follow up in say 5 years time to repack the stem gland or...

B&Q oil filter strap.... (get two, one for each half of the globe) DH

Buy more from the French Nuclear Stations?, according to wiki, although power can go in both directions, 97.5% of traffic has been into the UK. It can carry 2000 Mw. Just a thought. Oh, and before folks moan about putting money into french coffers, they already own a lot of UK proser...

Hai karate or Brut45?, should have matured nicely lurking in a wardrobe somewhere? DH :wink:

As riveting as the subject of Boiler Warranties is/are, I would be equally if not more concerned with which installer is going to, ahem install it? Warranties will be invalid if not put in exactly as per Manufacturers Installation Instructions, Gas Regulations/Building regs. Installer...

Get another Gas Engineer in? One who understands the importance of the principles of expansion/contraction (No 'Gas safety' related advice to be given here) DH

Always a green lidded pot on the hearth, with half pound of (salted!) best dairy butter in it, ready to spread on the toast (doorsteps) off the prongs of a 'toasting fork' Nostalgia ain't what it used to be... DH

Two Heatline Capriz's. one each for upstairs and downstairs, then when one packs up (applicable to any combi....), you've still got half the house heated and hot-water. Never done it myself you understand, waiting for the other's to shoot this one down. :roll: DH

the flow through them is very sloooooow as water level drops (head of water), have had to relocate them before now. Even worse on shower trays. DH

Eh Bahco, you still looking for Pro Installers to tell you what boiler this is and yet you survey for 'Free boiler Installs'.? You've got some bl00dy neck. DH

If you are gonna uses them, do not fit them horizontally (whatever the MI's say) DH

Ask any 'time-served' plumber (we know how old we are and how many years in the trade we have under our belts), and ask if they have any unprotected copper tube under the concrete screeds in their gaffs. Sheez, its not just the cooks sieve effect we constantly find, the expansion/contraction...

Yes, the actuator heads can malfunction. But the wetside can also seize in the open or shut position, there is usually a short lever on the head that can be moved by finger pressure, this might free it up if stuck with debris lodged inside. Can you post up a picture of the two motorised...

If your boiler is a Baxi MegaFlo it has the pump and circuit boards to control it all built into the casing... The external controls 'tell' the boiler to fire when a demand is made, in theory they also stop the the boiler from firing, leaving any residual heat to be dissipated by leaving the...

Is there an 'auto by-pass' fitted to allow pump overrun to discharge residual heat?, are all rad valves the Thermostatic type, and closed down for the summer? Just two possible avenues.... and not Gas safety critical. DH
