Thanks for the reply. I am in Bridgend, South Wales. Reading some of the other posts on here, could it be possible the air pressure valve is faulty? and/or the vessel needs pressurising? I am also having trouble with fluctuations in the water pressure. I fill it up to around 1 bar, then...

Hi, I have had a look through at some other posts on here and found some info about my problems, but I am still not convinced of what it is. Here goes. I started having problems with the boiler failing to ignite when hot water or heating was turned on, also it was losing water pressure...

Yes, that is a good piece of kit. Maybe a bit pricey though RF!

Those Screwfix PIR's look pretty nifty. Do they require a neutral to function? I am wondering wether to replace my cloakroom pullswitch with one and obviously I only have a 2 core and E cable at the switch.

Did not think of doing that. That is a good idea, at least anyone going there in the future will know whats what. Thanks plug.

Gone one better, I pulled the ceiling down to get a good look around and there is nowt up there. Apart from a few dozen spiders and wotnot.

Thanks lads. I have not heard of these CFL's before, sounds like a good option even though I have already bought the halogens. How much do they go for?

Yes it is simply a WC. Fitting a pullcord rather than a switch simply through personal choice. So a FCU inside the WC would be ok? I thought it would be but needed to check. Do you think two 35W lamps would be sufficiant light?

Currently no lighting in there at all. I know it should come from the lighting circuit, but it a great deal of hassle and do not know if it is worth it. It would be easier just to leave the door open for a bit of light when I go in there. Missus probably would not be too happy sitting on...

Sorry, should have mentioned that the appliances are on a different circuit. The radial circuit is just for general kitchen sockets.

Also, I was initially going to put 4 fittings up, but I think 2 would provide more than enough light, what do you think? They are 35W lamps.

Yes I was thinking of taking it from the kitchen circuit, though it is a radial, not a ring. Going through the wall would be the easiest (and neatest) option. It is an old house but walls are sound. Pulling floorboards up would also mean lifting carpets, something I want to try to avoid...

I am installing some downlighters in a downstairs toilet, but it is extremely difficult to get to the lighting circuit so I am going to spur off the kitchen radial instead. There is a socket on the other side of the toilet wall. But what I am wondering is, because the downstairs toilet is not...

I have wedged a piece of plastic in there for now, and it works a treat. Found two loose fittings on the diverter valve and one on the pressure relief valve. Fitter couldn't have tightened them properly. Dogged these up, and now the boiler is like new! No leaks and boiling hot water...

Cheers chris and gas. Its more like 12 quid with VAT and postage though!

Absolutely spot on gas man! The plate is missing, my fitter must have lost it when replacing the diverter valve. Just noticed the joints on the new valve are leaking aswell. Hmm not happy. Thanks very much for your help. Just wondering how much would a new microswitch set me back? Not...

I can see the pin without removing the microswitch, so I just tried turning the tap on and the pin raises up and makes the switch. So the diaphragm is ok? There is actually 3 microswitches all on the same block and the pin raises up and pushes the middle one. I tried making the other two...

Do you think it could be a bad diaphragm on the diverter valve, even though it is a new part? Where would I find the microswitch?

Hi I have a problem with my Ariston EuroCombi SX20 MFFICE combi boiler. The boiler does not fire up when turning on the hot water taps, the central heating works fine, and I have to switch the central heating on when I want to get hot water from the taps. I have recently had a few problems...

Thanking you
