so the original and 2 new stats are all faulty?? Any "help" rather than short smug statements would be much appreciated. Further to my original post, the immersion as a whole is new (from Plumbase), the stat kept overheating - I then replaced with new stat from Grahams - this overheated -...

so why hasn't the adjustable stat prevented this on all 3 stats that have been fitted?

Any ideas why an resetable immersion overheat stat would keep tripping? I've tried 2 new ones and all have overheated as oppose to just turning on & off

Sorry guys, I'm not a boiler engineer so won't be able to check the rating (Are you talking about burner pressure?). The output 24kW I got from the vaillant installation manual. There is a section that says at 40/30 degrees C the range is 9.4 - 26. I don't understand d.0 or "rated downwards"...

Hi I have a customer who is having problems with radiators in the top floor not heating up. I haven't been to the premises yet, but they seem to think they may have an undersized boiler. They have a Vaillant ecotec plus 831, which I've looked up as having a CH max output of 24kW. They also...

Thanks agile - yes it's a thermal store As I don't have an unvented cert. I wasn't sure when I saw the expansion vessel. All this cylinder needs is one of the immersions replacing, so not a problem. Thanks again Graham

Hi I've just come across an unusual cylinder. It is a combination cylinder It has 2 immersions (not Econ 7) Direct It has 2 22mm pipes half way up and lower down, that look like some sort of feed and distribution. These appear to come off the mains - v small expansion vessel, tundish...

I agree with both of you. Personally, I don't need this job, but I do a fair bit for the letting agents, so want to keep them sweet. I'm just going to lag it and then write down the recommendation of running the pipe underground on the invoice. Thanks for your replies. Graham

I need a 2nd opinion. I was called to a frozen incoming mains job recently when we had that cold spell. What I found was about 6 metres of 20mm MDPE pipe above ground level, lagged in grey lagging within boxing made from plywood and loft insulation! My first reaction was that the pipe...

Can anyone recommend a good quality industrial floor paint, to paint over red quarry tiles? Regards, Graham

Also, I didn't mention that I was having problems with startup as well. I would turn on the PC and it would freeze, then I'd reset it and it would take a good 5 mins to startup (without 2nd Hard drive) then if I closed down, waited about 5-10secs and switched on again, it would start up...

no, it's not showing. I'll try changing the cable, regards

Hi Does anyone know why my PC would not be recognising my 2nd hard drive. It used to be fine, then sometimes it would be in explorer etc. but now it doesn't recognise it at all. I'm running XP Professional. I've also found that when I press F2 on startup and go into setup it doesn't appear...

Haven't tried the glass thing but have just put my hand over the vent and couldn't feel any suction

Hi Softus Firstly apologies for not getting back sooner. In order of your questions 1. I didn't think the air went anywhere as the pump was "pulsing" and I assumed air was trapped in between the tap outlet and the pump, causing the pump to keep triggering. 2. No, when you open the...

I've had the Sparky drill for over 2 years and has served me well - probably used similar amount as you. Only downside when I got mine was it didn't come with a case.

Opening the cold triggers the flow switches on the pump, causing it to pump the hot out, clearing the airlock. When the hot is airlocked, the flow switch on the hot part of the pump isn't triggering on it's own. Having said that , after about 10secs the hot does trigger - but no idea why -...

Can anyone else add to this??
