Hi My misfiring boiler has been diagnosed as a faulty flue drawing in exhaust gasses causing it to cut out and reignite regularly. It's now running but only because the heating engineer upped the oxygen intake which is apparently OK only as a temporary solution whilst we try and get a new...

Thanks Looks good might bite the bullet and get one of those.

Just an above ground pool nothing too major. I've seen pumps from £30 upwards..

Hi I want to buy a drain pump but I'm having trouble getting information regarding how a low a level it will drain down to. For example somebody wrote in a review of one that it stopped draining at 8cm which is no use to me. I need one that will drain right down low (the lower the better)...

I recently noticed my oil boiler Camray Quartet Riello Burner not behaving as normal. Firstly I noticed first thing in the morning that the boiler would fire up run for a minute or so then cut out and ignite again and then run OK until it's all up to temperature and the stat turns it off. It...

I found at least 6 reputable online heating stores that were charging around the £50 mark with next day delivery. I'm not talking about eBay. If I'm happy to wait a day or two without heating that's my perogative. Maybe I'm just the kind of person that likes things black and white. Like I...

Fair enough. I just wanted to know how much mark up is acceptable. When my car mechanic charges me for parts they're usually close to the general retail price so I was just curious. Thanks

The part costs £50 online. The engineer "thinks" it's between £100 and £130. Problem is I feel like I'm exposing him if I tell him it's £50 online and would he mind fitting it.

Just had my boiler diagnosed with a dead fan. I'm not expecting to pay cheapest internet prices for my parts but what is acceptable and how to deal with it when it's excessive? (I have been given a guide price by the engineer not yet fixed). Thanks

Many thanks for the info. How can I check what the correct bearings are and could you give me a retailer online where I can buy them. Cheers

If the motor bearings are wearing why does it only make the noise in winter? Thanks

Hi sorry for the delay got sidetracked with some unexpected things at home. Riello Burner Camray Quartet Boiler Thanks

Hi I have an oil boiler and in the winter months when it starts up first thing in the morning (I don't run it overnight) it's VERY noisy. I would say a roaring fan / whirring motor kind of noise. It eventually quietens down but can take up to an hour if it's been very cold overnight. In the...

I'm waiting for the weather to warm up before I start tinkering so I'll take a sample on Monday and report back. Thanks for your help.

Actually if you listen to the pump itself it's not noisy but you do hear what sounds like constant debris rushing through it. Downstairs however you can hear vibration / loud humming whenever the pump is running and as I mentioned before the tone of the humming changes, so I'm assuming it's...

Can I ask why you think Spirotrap is better tha Magnaclean? Also are there any potential downsides to fitting one of these filter systems? Sorry but what are powerpoint rad vents? I'm on oil rather than gas but basically you mean turn up the thermostat to kick in the pump but without the...

I'm planning on doing a flush using Sentinel X400. What's the correct procedure? I've read it can be left in for 4 weeks if need be. Is there any benefit to completely draining the system first then refilling and adding the Sentinel or should I just drain off enough to add it? Some say I...

OK sounds good. I guess then this filter alone even with regular cleaning wouldn't clean out my system?

OK thanks Shall I do that from the lowest rad in the house? What colours indicate what problems?

Which entails what?
