    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Ignore my last message. I was being daft. Results of monitoring when the HW schedule started today. Fired up OK (S3 then S4). D40 went up to to the pre-set temp of 75 and modulated around that for short while. D41 was about 56 D40 then exceeded the pre-set temp of 75 (rapidly climbed to hit...

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Morning all. I'm not sure what to make of the status codes. I go to D99 and all I'm shown in the display is the number 1 with "nnn" under it. I can change the 1 to a 2 by pressing the + button and the "nnn" is replaced by "---". Similarly all the way up to 10 whereupon it loops back to 1 and...

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Much of the time it modulates quite nicely. It can run happily for an hour or so bouncing around 75. Then when I'm not looking, it gets all moody on me. I'll go back to it when the house feels colder and I see the temp down at 46 or so with the pump running and no gas being burnt.

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Hmm, 75/49 at full tilt. At least I have something to work with now. I just have to wonder where the potential constriction might be.

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Sorry - some more detail on the boiler. It's a Gloworm Ultracom 24 HXi. D02 is indeed set at 20 mins so I'll give 10 a bash (and sit and time how long it's in this weird state to see if it matches D02). I have 16 rads in the house of various sizes so I don't imagine it's over-rated (D00=24) but...

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    I feel such a fool. Of course I meant thermistors (I'm working on a project with thermocouples at work and I've got them stuck in my head). Thanks for straightening that out. Anyway, they replaced the thermistors just for the hell of it. The problem persists worse than ever tonight :(

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    Thanks for taking the time to reply Ian. I'm puzzled though. How does it measure flow and return temps (D40 and D41 in the diagnostic mode)?

    System Boiler pump runs but no burner

    I've been chasing a problem with my Glow-worm hxi system boiler (Hive control, indirect vented cylinder, Y plan) for a while now and would appreciate some ideas please. Problem : When there is demand for HW and/or CH, the pump runs and the boiler fires and modulates at the preset 75 degrees...

    After agreeing to and now reneging on the Irish backstop. Why would anyone negotiate with her now?

    So by default, the EU position is to stand firm and allow a no deal to happen thus being equally responsible for a hard border coming into effect. They say they don't want a hard border but the lack of willing to discuss will inevitably lead to the very thing they say they don't want. Seems like...

    After agreeing to and now reneging on the Irish backstop. Why would anyone negotiate with her now?

    So what will the border arrangements be if "No deal" happens? Looks like a hard border is all that's available.

    Are modern UPVC Windows better than 90s UPVC?

    Useful info, especially about frames. Many thanks.

    Are modern UPVC Windows better than 90s UPVC?

    Our 1940s house was fitted with UPVC windows in the late 90s. The glass is starting to fail and I'm wondering if there is benefit in replacing the entire units instead of just the glass. One obvious benefit is security as the glass is fitted from the outside on my old windows. But are modern...

    New concealed cistern - poor flush

    Just finished a DIY bathroom refurb. New toilet has a really poor flush with very little water delivery and very weak water output. It was whatever cheap-ass cistern the supplier gave me "for free" with the pan. Am I likely to resolve this issue with a quality concealed cistern and if so, any...
