Have you ever come across a thermister gone bad but testing correctly on dmm?? Just as the thermisters are testing correctly, i think the first time i measured they were 9k then before i went home i tested and they were 4k as i'd had heat running through boiler. Thanks

thankyou

Same old same old from this site.....not trying to be anybody, im a hard working guy whos been asked by his neighbour to see if i can get boiler going...And yeh i got boiler going. I never opened combustion case or messed with gas. I tinkered with the wet side. You have no reason be be...

A friends baxi was causing him problems.. When heating was on and he'd turn a hw tap on.....the hot water would get hot(we'll come back to this). But when he'd turn tap off the boiler most of the time wouldnt go back to heating. Unless he'd turn tap on/off then it would kick back in. Ther...

Pump was full of sludge and ticking loud( bearings) but this was a extra as its evident it's got nothing to do with problem. So it ended up being the ****e 240 v British gas stat. That only makes contact when powers there. Changed like for like and tested and it was fine. They also went for new...

Has anyone came across this problem. We use the fast fix shower kits, bring two stalks of pipe out wall then the wall plate fittings go on and easier job than the old offset 1/2" x 3/4" fittings. Anyway the 3/4" connection that connects shower bar protrudes on the inner part, so that the...

Ive been told they are having to put 3 way valve into manual to get heat , but then when the cylinder gets to temperature the boiler goes off. They apparantly then run some hot water off to get the boiler to kick back in , thus in turn heating the radiators as the actuator is still in manual...

We bought a magnaclean series and connected it onto return like it says to do and from start to finish it was clean water. The system was a friends , and he said that he thought the radiators were not as hot as he'd like. I said turn your boiler stay up cos it was only on 67 -70. So we used...

no sorry dont think ballancing will sort it. I turned off all upstairs and no improvement in heat, so even if i ballanced system it would be same, thanks

Is the filter in the return isolation fitting??

In my brothers rental house the boiler has been playing up for a while now. The boiler keeps on rising in temperature very fast and im told blows off daily. Radiators upstairs are warming up but downstairs theyre luke warm. I did turn rads off upstairs but didnt do much. Expansion vessels been...

1st look at the state of the valve tails they are the old type with a nut instead of a pop off plastic cap 2 nd they are crudded up with crap, which you can clean up and re ptfe threads, but is it worth it. They look battered and knocked anyway. You can buy the drain off valves separate and...

One thing you can do is remove the chrome cover on your shower trap to unearth the bowl that creates the trap that stops fowl smells coming back. Check the distance to which the chrome cover with the tube goes into this plastic bowl. You'll find its there's only a small gap between both pieces...

I always throw away foam washer that sits top side of the sink waste. Because it always makes the chrome waste proud of the sink surface... I like it flush so no dirt and scum builds up. Sometimes I don't even silicone the top edge but I always silicone around the base of sink where chrome pops...

That looks terrible....Ha ha ha.. At least youve got it out

no pictures??

this work really should of been done before install! Catchment space floor needs leveling ans then screeding to create base making sure no gaps or voids are visible in brickwork in and around ...if so fill with darbo. Building work is fine to do but you must get a GSR installer to fit fire as...

BTW no TRV for me!! Nice 15mm chrome valves in bathroom, especially on towell rail.

its easy to criticize after the event! Isnt it better to give helpful advice? we all can say ..I would of! Have chat with the fella and say you would really prefer the pipes to come straight and no bend etc. its 4 tiles maximum... maybe 2 and abit of pipework re-config. To get the bathroom...
