    Worcestor Bosch Heatslave lockout problem

    "I have checked the oil is there and we have not run out. I removed the flexi hose from the oil pump return".. if there is a oil line on the return does that mean that you have 2 oil flexihoses? as this may indicate a "tiger loop", if thats the case it could be a number of things, tiger loop...

    worcester heatslave 15/19

    it sounds to me like the "drive coupling" that sits between the oil pump & the motor meaning that either the Oil pump is siezed or has a "tight-spot" & a CORGI man????? thats for gas!!!! can I assume that the button you are pressing is an orange one on the burner...which indicates that it is a...

    Rayburn Royal

    The Boiler only runs when the AGA does??? :shock: :shock: ask your friend if he runs his car without a radiator??? also is the water being pumped or gravity? personally I'd be looking at having the towel rail on the rayburn the hot water tank maybe working against you as once the hot water...

    thirsty boiler.

    RD3 sounds like the burner, without the boiler make & model it is hard to tell you what your usage is, even harder without knowing what the nozzle size is for example if it's a 1.00 USG / 60o means that it will use 1 US Gallon (6.66 pints or 3.78Litres) per full Hour (with the oil pump running @...

    Worcetster bosch greenstar heatslave 18/25 frost protection

    Worcester will cover their ass's as will their engineers, I have many times come across their engineers works (4 engineers to fault find on a worcester Heatslave, & couldnt find the fault ... yet I diagnosed & fixed in 30 mins)it was the firevalve at fault, HOWEVER this is where you have to be...

    condensate pipe into internal waste

    It depends on the boiler but it is unlikely that it will stop the boiler, for a start the basin will empty in a short time, but you might want to make sure that the height of the basin (at it's fullest) is LOWER than the boiler (water ALWAYS levels out) otherwise you might find that it back...

    Oil or LPG

    I have been in both the Oil & Gas Industry for many years...Peronally I'd AWAYS go Oil..for several reasons (1) if Oil prices go low you fill up the Oil tank..Then If the oil prices sky rocket (as they do occasionally) then you still have oil, with gas if they put up the prices then you pay...

    crack in plastic oil tank

    Soap will always form a seal over a crack this will stop the leak temporarily..then here's another little tip...find a local farm supply place (town & county etc etc) ask for a roll of silage repair tape...then place that over the soap..IF it rains it stops the soap being washed out..(can you...

    worcester bosch heatslave 15/19 oil fired - lockout mode

    If the boiler runs when everything is cold...then once it gets hot,shuts off then it sounds like the Solenoid is losing it's magentic field, a quite simple fix... all you'll need is a 2.5mm allen key & a "BFP Coil set" should take about 10 mins all in all to change

    water mains stopcock

    do you have a section of this pipe? if you do you can take it to a local plumbers merchant & they'll supply you with the adapters to either increase upto the size...or reduce down...if not is there any slack in the mains AFTER the stop cock...if so can you cut a smal section out so it can be...

    Pipe size from a cold tank

    personally I'd use 1 pipe solely for the H.W Tank depending on the useage (if a large house then 28mm) if a normal 3 - 4 bedroom hose then 22mm should be fine, & a seperate feed to the shower, make sure that bot are fitted with "full Bore" isolators as if you fit normal valves you'll restrict...

    Intermittent problem with Grant Vortex boiler

    Not nessecarily, if you have a pinhole leak when the water is colder it is denser so it may not leak out, as the water becomes hotter it is less denser & may escape from the pipe work, or could be leaking through the A.A.V (Automatic Air Valve) another little thing that may happen is as the...

    Heating oil tank

    My understanding is if the tank was fitted before May 1st 2005 then the regs are superceded, so the tank may have been compliant when it was installed, because as everyone has said about 90% are "illegal" I worked out that in over the 1,200 boiler services that 10 of them were compliant!!! &...

    Kinked Oil Pipe repair

    The size of the nozzle is about the size of a hair...so unless you've flattened the pipe bent the pipe then flattened it again so long as the pipe isn't leaking or too badly damaged....then personally I'd leave well alone

    New Oil Fired Boiler

    Another tip for you, make sure that the grant boiler IS NOT a "grey" import, a lot of the cheap boilers that are for sale are imports, & if Grant want to be funny ( & they can be at times) they MAY NOT honour the warranty as it isn't a "British" boiler, also I can recommend that if it is a...
