If you`ve no F and E tank then is it a sealed system? Do you have an expansion vessel and a pressure guage?

Need more info. You refilled the system, bled the rads etc. What happens when you ask for heating, pump run o,k etc?

No e-maill jezzy. Just got back from that call out. Click on my name on the main forum page and it`ll bring up my e-mail address. +++++++++ Jezzy look above. M R ++++++++++

Yeah i live in ossett just outside wakey, work all over the wakefield area. Trying to keep the easy life of just installing nowadays, but get tempted by old customers to go to breakdowns now and then. Been through the heartache you`re experiencing, although the new generation of boilers are...

You should have e-mailed me, i`ve more old boilers in the garage than steptoes` yard! Saves a fortune on new parts when you can test with proven working ones from the back of the van. Gritish Bas get away with it day in day out.

The plumber should have public liability insurance to work in your home. If it`s like mine, the excess is £500, so he`d more than likely have to pay out of his own pocket for the damage to your property. Sounds like he`s trying to duck out of this one. Go with the advice above, he has a legal...

I repeat, what did your installer tell you? You must have asked him the same question!

It`s easy, just as you`ve said. 15 years old? Have a go at it and see if it makes a difference.

Is it a Giveg valve with the orange pilot, flame and off markings on the manual pilot button?

At least it`s not the other way round :shock:

What did the installer tell you?

well said!

The diaphragm on these boilers works the hot water, so if it`s "leaking" that`s more than likely to be the hot water problem. Cheap boiler but parts can be expensive. The pump for one of these is over £100.

Don`t take this the wrong way, but the thing that`s wrong is you`re running the boiler with the cover open! It`s not too much of an expense to fix the problem, and an engineer with a bit of savy will suss it straight away. No matter how many times you ask neither myself or anyone else here would...

[email protected] e-mail me jezzy and i`ll sort that fan out for you, and any other bits you want off it. It ran fine apart from heating, customer didn`t want it repairing, threw a new vaillant on the wall for them.

A couple of turns on each. The rad may be nearer the boiler than the bedroom one, but is it piped as such?

Got a running 80sp fan in the garage you can have for nowt if you`re near wakefield?

You may have one, it`d be on the flow pipe and after the pump. Brass compression fitting with an arrow on it.

Have you tried strangling down the other rads slightly?

Yes, the blockage may only be on the flow side. The water would still be able to back-fill through the return pipes. Might be a case of removing the 3 rads and checking them.
