    Gloworm Ultimate 50FF Ignition

    Check the number on the GasSafeRegister.co.uk site, that can be more up to date than the plastic card issued annually (this thread just prompted me to check I am still 'competent' to work on more than cooker and pipework! as my card states) DH

    The Greens and UKIP.

    perhaps the 'separatist' jocks in non-scottish constituencies hold the balance of power then…. If you believe the popular press , Ed & Nicola are in cahoots, ergo vote labour in wales/england and let the SNP have their say? FACT. 1/10 of voters in Scotland are 'english', hence the No vote...

    Why are we wasting resources on this?

    They did in 1984, think NUM strikers from oop north trying to join their brothers in Kent..... Think 'Kettling' of City of London Bankers caught in the maelstrom of Anti capitalist demo's in London in recent years.... Now, as to whether the 'bobby on the beat' actually joined up to...

    Vaillant Ecotec 28pro problems

    As per Forum Rules, not Gas safety critical advice, but as it is not 'gas' related, but is a 'system water' issue, here goes If you guy is unsure, I suggest he contacts Vaillant techies for guidance... I would expect most experienced RGI's to be aware of this issue, its causes and be able...

    Vaillant Ecotec 28pro problems

    As the answer lays behind the front cover (which makes the boiler room-sealed), and that is 'Registered Gas Installer territory', I am not able to give any gas safety critical advice to you, apart from the inevitable, "get a registered gas installer' to remedy this for you. That's the DIYnot...

    GlowWorm 30cxi boiler. Now NO need to buy replacement! :)

    May I ask, 'who are you asking'? Any reputable Plumbers Merchants? Boiler Manufacturers? A registered Gas Installer? A scrap metal dealer? I would suggest that you check the GasSafe register and search for a Gas Installer in your area to give a price to repair, or replace if you...

    Vaillant Ecotec pro 28 Help with use / diagnosis please.

    It goes without saying that to access the expansion vessel, you have to remove the front cover, which Is Gas Installer territory afraid to say.... (it is a 'room-sealed' appliance, and the front panel is part of that seal) Forum rules then kick-in, which means no more free info from the...

    Vaillant or Viessmann?

    the viessmann is IMHO the better choice, if nothing else the 'one pipe' heat exchanger seems to be more tolerant of 'old systems' (one larger CSA waterway, not a bundle of 4 smaller ones) System will still require cleansing, system water treatment, and I would suggest a magnetic...

    fitting fluidmaster cable flush valve to a low level cistern

    The fluidmaster is my first choice when replacing. While you are at it, if yours has a bottom-feed inlet valve, get the whole kit in one box, as it includes all the washers, pull down bolts etc that you will otherwise likely need to buy separately. The push button type has adaptors to fit...

    HMRC most wanted

    putting family background & ethnicity aside, I though HMRC stood for her Majesties Revenue & customs (i.e. money collection). Yet the tags indicate murder, theft etc. OK so all serious stuff, but am I missing something here? DH

    Ideal Mini C28 - switching off

    Rental + Service, pretty much mutually exclusive afraid to say.... Landlords do minimum, just an occasional gas Safety check, which is most definitely NOT the same as a service. Putting my tin hat on now, as aggrieved LL's rant about about how THEY do pay for a service, just my experience...

    f75 error on my vaillant Eco tec plus boiler

    F.75 can be caused by several possibilities inside the appliance itself. Correct pressure within the Expansion Vessel (in the boiler casing) is crucial, but with 15 rads, an additional one may well be required. As the front cover of you boiler is part of the combustion box seal, I can only...
