more info needed chap. for example do you have a valve on the h/w and one on the c/h or just the one? does the lever move across? what make etc? for example if you've got a honeywell mid position or zone valve and the arm doesn't really move it could be that the rubber ball inside has...

if you're any good with electrics you can check if it's sending out a switch live in the wiring centre. make sure it's all due on and the green light is on, you should have 240v on 3 connections - permanent live, live from the clock, switch live from the receiver - (the other connections would...

you can just replace the wireless receiver did you turn off the power for about 10 secs before you did the procedure? if not it won't work you also have to remove the batteries from the room stat to make it go blank. i've never had one fail to reprogram

some installers of powermax's (and often kestons) run the flues under floorboards, not the best idea as it's impossible to check them without ripping up floors or pulling down ceilings. many are installed like this in flats.

if they said the heat exchanger has gone then tbh with the cost of repairing it it might be a better option to get a new boiler, as your boiler model is notoriously unreliable. as said before if you get a new boiler avoid an ideal

the diverters have a tendency to stick. therefore it'll try to do preheat but heat all the radiators instead, take the head off the diverter valve and see if you can move the spindle in or out - it'll spring return itself if it's ok. if that's all ok then it'll be a blocked plate heat...

the LF fault can also be caused by water leaking in to the white tube at the bottom of the case that runs to the gas valve. can clear the water out and it may work, sometimes will be intermittent and a rgi will need to fit a new gas valve on it the seal failing even thought the boiler's been...

£350 a month for a trial!!!! i thought if you trialed things it was either they paid you, it was free or very cheap. daily express so, ok as long as it's in a city, but, aren't they trying to get people out of cars and on to public transport? without the trial it'd be between...

i've got a ryobi mower, not sure wether i'll be screwed on parts in the future but it's got a steel/alloy deck and seems just as good as the honda mower my neighbours got. very solid, self propelled, starts easily and does a good job. depends how much you want to spend on a mower. i wanted...

how to get out of recession. lesson 1, increase petrol duty 3 times in 9 months and there's still 2 more to come. at the time when petrol prices are rising, increase them further, thus adding extra costs on to ordinary people and business, thus pushing prices up and hindering the recovery...

i've worked in 'eco homes' which are designed to keep as much heat in as possible and the people that live there say whilst you don't need much heating in the winter, through spring/summer the house is a horrible place to live as it's too hot and you can't cool it down enough and you spend the...

if people do take that chaps advice i imagine we could be seeing a few more deadly flues and push fittings on gas pipes. i've seen a couple of diy installations flued into garages and conservatories. condensates connected with garden hose etc. tbh i think the vast majority of diyers won't...

i've got plenty of ryobi one+ and i'd say they're very good but not on a par with my makita, dewalt or metabo stuff. as for sds my dewalt is good but isn't a patch on the hilti i borrowed, now that's a beast!! not for trade but i do recommend ryobi.

i've had f1 faults that are caused by the gas valve gradually losing calibration. the wrong ratio means they won't light. the one make that is the ultimate in blocking up condensates - ideal - absolute bag of turd. the icos, isar and istor love to block up their condensate traps but tbh i...

possibly a pcb or the air pressure switch dropping out. any venturis cleaned out? hard to tell without being there to link things out.

if the rads are bled: -is it a sealed system? might be out of pressure. -if open vented, has the feed and expansion tank got water in? is there an isolation valve on the feed? is the cold feed blocked?

the gas fire would've been disabled because it's unsafe in some way, why would you want a dangerous fire? the reasoning should be on the landlords certificate. are you accusing the gas man of stealing your room stat? :? is there a h/w and c/h switch on the front of the boiler, often...

the cylinder is no longer available and hasn't been for a year or two so there's a good chance it's had it. the biggest trouble with this boiler is potterton haven't bothered giving it a decent spares back up. i suspect this is mainly because they know it's a bad design with many flaws and...

are you on about even smaller screwdrivers than the ones mentioned such as 7.2v and below? if so i've got the bosch 7.2v psr200 which is compact and can be carried around in your pocket and has 12nm of torque...

it's only really new boilers that may need them to stop the boiler leaking as they just aren't made like they used to be! it's not really to prevent water hammer but just to cover up the fact that the boilers leak too easily! :wink:
