Hi, Thanks very much for your excellent reply.My friend was service engineer for worcester, now has set up on his own. I installed my own worcester, years ago, and manufactures were good, did minor niggles I had, no problem.As I mentioned, my Vokera has been great, and cannot fault their...

elimentary dear boy, 8)

That,s why I am most reluctant to change. I will only do so if I have to.I have read condensate damages clay pipes, is that so?A lot of my pipework is glazed clay, some plastic, but it al leads to clay eventually.The drain is plastic but don,t know where it changes to clay.No soakaway 600ml...

Hi,ChrisR, thanks for reply. I have had Homeserve boiler cover for 5 years, up for renwal next month, and during last summer , Diaphram needle wasn,t returning properly, so fan wasn,t idling.on CH Manifold. When I reported it, the Engineer said it,s ok, not supposed to idle, but wasn,t covered.I...

Hi Transam, unfortunately we are neither in ,nor out of the EU.We Brits, take too much in our stride, don,t complain enough.That,s what we,re told. I,ve tried that, and to no avail. Like you ,I too do not have faith in any Manufacturers warrantee, be it boiler or car etc. We cannot all be...

When you have illiminated the impossible,whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. :idea:

There,s the nub.The Manufacturer will automatically blame fitter to nullify the warantee.Didn,t flush right or some other petty thing that CANNOT be proved so the end user is left to his own devices. which inevitibly means paying someone else to rectify it.There,s no loyalty today Im...

That,s my good point, my imagination, and I used to keep goats years ago,Anglo Nubians."No", it,s not a car: probably before your time.They were clever animals, unlike some. :P

Hi, My Vokero is 17+ and still good.They are excellent at advice over phone or e-mail technical.I take your point on the regularity of servicing, I have mine done annually, however, I do not think it neccessary.If the Manufacturers think their products are so good, then, they should be able to...

Befoe, you dyslexic too ?

Hi chesketh, I , like you ,will be looking for quotes for a boiler change.first thing I do when getting any quote from TRADESEN is put up a long bar outside the house , so cowboys can tie their horses up to.There,s lots around, and where I live they 10 a penny.Charge the earth.Luckily I know...

Hi muggles, cheers, it,s just a temporary thing whilst weather is so cold for long periods.Vokera flowmatic. Nothing to block inside, was just going to chuck thick underfelt over it at night.that,s why I turned fan off, stop it drawing in freezing air at night.from outside.Surprising how warm...

These annual servicing confuse me.WHO plucked the figure ANNUAL out, and WHy.Does any boiler really require a yearly service, why not 18 months, 2 years.Is it a ploy. I have my car serviced every year, don,t have to go to garage I bought it from for warrantee, thats the law.My car says oil...

Hi, Happy new year. I have my boiler in brick garage on outside wall.In the severe frosts I have left it on all night to safeguard boiler. As I have a pilot light, I have decided to turn fan off at night , and rely on heat from pilot to safeguard heat exchanger freezing.combi,it,s not a...

Thanks muggles. 600mm .I,m ok.happy new year

Hi, Can someone tell me, or guide me to regs regarding spume and windows.IF I change my boiler to a condenser, in same place, there may be a window problem? Boiler on garage wall, exhaust approx 3 feet to internal corner of house. kitchen window on adjacent wall aprox 6 feet from internal...

Not only does a boiler change require condensate problems, there,s the plume and windows to take into consideration.My boiler change, IF I change may fall foul of the window plume.Can anyone tell me regs regarding this?

Hi, That,s probably the one I looked at. £40 online.ktec I think.or something similar.never thought of timer.good idea.does the coupling screw onto terminals/or croc clips?

Hi, Thnks for reply.I,ve seen them at halfords,But crocodile clips put me off. there,s optional connector, besides cig lighter, do they screw on to terminals permanently.battery in boot under cover. argos do an oxford, £30.it,s just to keep it topped up.soon drains when not used, 2-3 weeks...
