yeah you probably should have turned it till you felt it stop, when you say you have 3.7 is that with your central heating hot or cold, Do you have water coming out the copper pipe going outside behind the boiler ? close the grey tap fully and remove the big key. Drain water out the system from...

3.7 ? you did close your filling loop after repressurising didnt you ?

Jointy, you can use anything that will get it in there, short piece of hose with a funnel is the easiest. Or as armo said you can screw a isolation valve into the rad and attach a piece of copper with a bend.

If you have just identified a cistern in the loft that feeds you're C/H then you don't have a prismatic cylinder. Prismatic cylinders don't require a cistern.

Artie, if you only have one cistern in the loft which is feeding into the bottom of the cylinder, you may have a primatic cylinder which fills the heating from the same cistern, its different to a coil in a standard cylinder, once the heating is full it makes it own airlock to seperate the...

Those are the jobs I would love, I could quite comfortably fit a full bathroom or kitchen and tile, this is what I have done for the last 6 years on my own there isn't really a job in a house I haven't had to do, I'm not blowing my own trumpet but I've always been hands on and good with my hands...

Really appreciate the advice guys, yeah I see what you're saying Ian but I've tried and tried to get a job in plumbing but there's absolutely no chance each job that becomes available there's too many applicants to even get a look in, I wouldn't claim to be a heating engineer although I do know...

I finished school in 2007 and started work 3 days later with a local joiner but was always interested in being a plumber since i was a kid as a close family friend was a plumber, i started my plumbing apprentership and finished 3 years ago, gaining my NVQ 3 and unvented certs. I worked with this...

How ?

it could possible be the diverter valve vibrating as it changes over, although i cant see this being strong enough to send shockwaves right around the system loud enough for you to hear, but cant see what else can be causing it apart from a pipe trapped with no room to expand.. get a engineer...

Agree with CBF there is always a slight gap needed to slide the panel in, plus it is a rounded edge so it makes it look wider than it really is, will look fine once siliconed, stop worrying.

You maybe right in that the coil may have split, this is why the CWSC should always be fitted higher to the F&E so the water in the cylinder should have slightly more pressure than that in the coil, so the clean cold water will fill into the coil rather than the dirty heating water from your...

The car was not overloaded ? Look at your rear wheel FFS !

Or can anybody else answer me this ? which wireless roomstat would suit my 30 cxi (old style ) glowworm combi ? Thanks

Thanks for your reply, Ive done everything i can see in the manual, its not a very explanitary one though in my eyes, heres a copy of the manual, What would you suggest ? http://www.glow-worm.co.uk/stepone/data/downloads_sd/ae/00/00/climastat-installation-instructions-for-use-and-servicing.pdf

Well if its not kinked where it looks like it could split with the expansion of the pipe when hot and its not kinked massivly which could restrict the flow and cause squeling noises, then it should be okay, its just a cosmetic thing after that, might look abit rough.
