yeah, cheers i know i need that valve, but it costs around 150 plus vat, are you saying honeywell sell it cheaper?

yeah thats the pile of sh**.! Is it pssible to use a standard valve (mid pos) valve body and use the old actuator , cos i feel its just the body thats full of crap? prob fit new motor too? Is it the 4073?

its not mate, its a three port valve, only not a mid position one. Read a previous post on this subject and Kev Plumb knows a bit about these boilers, any chance of you giving some advice!!?

got a ideal classic NF80 Combi boiler and the honeywell V4044c valve is sticking in the heating (A) postion and sometimes slowly returns after a while. Can this valve be cleaned or freed up? I can get a repacement but at a cost of 150+ Vat for a like for like, but would a standard honeywell...

orange wire is the switch wire, thanks anyway.

Got a 30CDi bosch boiler that needs a y plan wiring up, my spark is away so having to do it my self, only stuck at this point. I have my permanent supply from fuse spur in to the connecter block on boiler, but which wire do i use as the LS (live supply) and which as the LR (live return) and...

They do get stuck, dont bother with it as it will snap off and then your stuck. Just turn either valve off and remove the small rad, empty it, re-connect and then re-fill, this should get the inhibitor in the system.

:D i'd prefer a gold en.

Here we go, another jealous factory worker wishing he'd been more picky in his career choice. Ever heard of the going rate? Supply on demand? WE ALL agree that footballers are on too much money and Solicitors charge WAY too much and so on, but its the way of the world, I AM a corgi registed...

simple answer - get more than one quote. (Seems very very high)

any luck? has it ever worked since fitted?

Errrrr, Yeah, i think i'll just have a bigger flow rate combi fitted, or a storage combi. Cheers everyone.!! :D :D :D :D

you should have a cylinder, a large tank that feeds that, and a smaller one for the central heating water. check the small tank, as this is the one that is poss empty. also check the pump IS spinning.

hmmm, already worked on breakdowns from the g/w range, only 3-4 years old,mainly design faults, plastic washers failing, filling loops breaking and plated heat exchangers splitting, not worked on any w/b yet of that age. You get what you pay for, thats why bosch and vaillant are more expensive.

Does it do your hot water too? If so then it must be valved off for the heating, and that could be the problam, its in the resting position for hot water and not opening to allow heating. Do you have a motorised valve?

yes! open it till the pressure gets to 1 Bar, then close, some times they may be two cocks, if so open both. Fill to 1 Bar, then bleed and check pressure again, top up if req. Then try running system.

Most of the noise is the fan, try sound proofing with a cupboard.

check the header tank is full of water, and that the ballcock hasn't stuck up giving impression tank is full. header tank is small on usaully in loft or a high cupboard, is the pump turning? you say you bled the pump, try to see if the pump rotor is turning with a small screw driver.

found ideal boilers to be one of the noisest on the market, actually took a two year old one out 6 months ago as customer couldn't sleep for noise (worked nights and slept day).

yeah thought so, just best to get second oppinion, cheers.
