If it is the diverter you can buy a kit to service the valve, when removed. There's 5 or 6 fasteners which you remove, then you need to split the valve, the kit comes with a new diaphragm and 2 o rings if I remember correctly, was a few years ago I did one for my mates bro.

What's the fees ability of running new pipes, Along skirting for example? Easier than smashing floor up and re screeding it. As this will just keep happening until one or the other is done! Bare pipe in concrete is terrible, gash as hell!

I personally dont think your system would work that well imho, you would need a very powerfull fan for a decent output, and obviously the longer the duct the more cooler the air! a plinth heater or another rad would be my route .

Double check the botton to see if you can see an outline similar to the beams, also like for pilot holes, if not what the others suggested! Make sure the screws are not too long!

Hmmm, does your boiler have an automatic air vent? I'd check thats not closed initially (knurled knob), then if open loosen to see if you get any air out. Also worth checking the pump, if its ran dry and the impeller is plastic theres a high possibility its melted!

I never said it was a tilers job!

Why bother for the sake of a couple of quid. Remove old one, clean up soil pipe, wire wool aint bad. Fit new one, make sure you glue part of the straps as well.

If its leaking at an end, get a new seal or olive.

The plumber has indeed "fobbed you off" tell him you want it done right, as this will bug you every time you see it in the future, I guarantee! It's no biggie draining the system and removing the valve.

Ptfe the waste threads!

I wonder if it could be a faulty air pressure switch.

Would be worth pulling pcb, and check for broken tracks, burning etc. i had no ch or dhw, but i did have ignition, turned out to be gas valve! Baxi duo tec is a cracking boiler.

Your plumber sounds like a to$$er! I would carry out a quick visual of the rads, checking for any signs of leakage, just to negate that element. You deffo need to get a look at the pipes he has put in. I wonder if he has fitted a 't' piece the wrong way, as they are directional. So instead of...

Continuing on the solvent theme, what about cutting up a 1 1/2"fitting to fit over the leak area and glue that.

I have not dabbled with shower pumps, but heres my 10p worth: Is there enough pressure in the system so you could use the shower, even tho it would be quite poor? If so what about bridging the gap by the pump with some flexi hoses? If shower is a no go without pump, and as long as you have...

Google is your friend here! Google the rad and click on any sellers, the description should tell you BTU's. if you find the room not warm enough go for a k2

The "filter" i think your on about is called an aerator, it induces bubbles into the running water to prevent it splashing every where whilst running, wether you can get a replacement, i dont know to be honest, but would like to think you could. the plumbers here will be able to answer i'm sure...

Just a quick one, how did you connect the taps to the pipes? If you used flexi hoses, are there any kinks?

Whip the cover off, and see if the plug from the power lead has come loose. If all inputs to the machine are good, check over the PCB for broken tracks or signs of burning.

If it does i hope its post a number 1 and not a 2!
