I will get this sorted the last one not coming back made me loose heart but i will get someone to check the boiler stat asap :D

Yes it was wired wrong before. The boiler was perminantly on even when the programmer was off. Also its been like this since i moved in last June. Its now wired properly giving me some control as the programmer works now :D

Nothing like that has been checked. The boiler casing does get very hot sometimes you probably couldn't hold your hand on it for to long. Now i have rewired the system so it works i have set the programmer to come on for no more than 30min and at times when i'm here. Cylinder stat is set...

Forgot to say!!! I had a plumber come out. He said its because i have no vent pipe. He also said i may aswell replace the pump and mid position valve. Just by standing looking at it didn't even turn the system on or touch anything i was with him at the time. He told me to get the bits as i...

Its a halsted/wickes heat 60. Installed by the previous owner. It has done it since i moved in but the system was wired wrong which i have sorted so this is the next problem. The pump runs it was on no3 but its now on 1 which has helped a bit. There is also a room stat which is set at...

I work for a plumbers merchants and used to deliver these to site all the time. I would say they are one man lift i used to chuck them on my shoulder and carry them. Most site's i deliver to now don't use ideal anymore. I wander why!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all i'm after more advice!!!! The water in my header tank keeps boiling :( All the rads have TRV's with 15mm copper, There is a rad in the garage (K1 1200 X 600) I'm going to remove the trv and replace with a normal valve . Hopefully this way i will not need a pressure relief valve...

I completely rewired it properly and replaced the wiring center and programmer. I'm not that bad with wiring anyway but as i have never tackeled a heating system before your advice saved any confusion in advance if i had of compared the new and old programmer as the old one was wired wrong...

I had chance to do the job today and it now works fine :D Thanks for your advice. :wink:

I think that covers everything!!!!!!! I will email you though just to let you know everything went ok(or not :lol: ) and update the email address in my profile ( only cos i like my email address :P ) :D Thanyou :D

I think i have got it :? My boiler is in the kitchen so i will have to run a new wire. This is how i'm reading it. L3 in the boiler goes to: 1 On cylinder stat orange on mid pos valve L2 in the boiler goes to: Pump live (edit) L1 is perminant live :shock: :shock: I would send...

I had a 30si in my last house and i couldn't fault it. It saved alot of space as the back boiler was removed and the flow rate was pretty good. The house im in now i plan to keep my open vented system and have a 15Ri or if i go for overkill a 24Ri That way any problems and the immersion...

I will have a quick look and see if i can download them. I'm presuming that the pump Live connects to L2 on the boiler rather than its normal positiom in the wiring center in my case No:13 Could you have a quick look and see if L3 is the call on the cylinder stat please? Thats how mine is...

Just sat and had a look through the wiring diagram and that makes sense :D

I stand corrected :D I know cleaning pads are available but some plumbers use steel wool :? The only way to learn is to ask so!!!! why not steel wool? I'm not being sarcastic i'm just trying to learn :D

I may stand corrected by a plumber as im a DIYer!!! Clean the tube with some wire wool then put flux on. Heat with your solder torch and capillary action will suck it up into the fitting basically :wink:

My system is a bit different i have an onkyo amp and Tannoy surround speakers plus i was having the whole room plastered. But i used 2.5mm speaker wire. Its a 5.1 system but i wired it for 7.1 incase i upgrade there is also a zone 2 in my case speakers in the back garden. so i put 9...
