cheers dc, will keep you posted, I will phone them tomorrow.It does say, if I need any more advice, to phone them, but, wondered if anyone else had the same problem.

Hi dc, that,s what I told Dulux in my letter, but they, didn,t seem to read it proper. Thought I was just after free paint, but they have asked for batch number, so will reply again. The rads have been on for practically 6-8 weeks all day, with the cold weather we,ve had, and still tacky, so...

Hi dc, thanks for reply. Was going to change to another brand for Rads, will use Dulux for doors, especially now they,ve given me 2.5 litres gratis and the stuff I bought. Never had this before. The problem, if it is one, is, is it ok to apply another brand whilst the Dulux is still tacky...

Hi Guys, bit of a poser here. I bought a tin of Dulux water based quick drying satinwood almond white, self under coating,to do my doors and rads, as I have for years, using same stuff. From the off I had problems.I stirred it very well as it had a blueish liqiud top on it.The door took 3...

Hi, Guys;; My Son, has another problem with this hermann boiler, no hot water or ch. his description on the phone signifies pilot light out.BUT, I don,t know if it has one, or is electronic ignition. He says there is no ignition button on panel, as on my old vokera.so again signifies igniter...

Cheers onecog, will let you know. :P

Thanks dann, it may be cut off, there,s that much tape around it, hard to guage. Will have another look, the thing that,s most bothering me, is the internal size of pipe, to get a good seal with a push in connector. Do you find the ordinary connectors seal ok, on cast, with flange off?? He...

Hi onecog, thanks for reply. I realy don,t know if its collar is still on, because its wrapped with tape, not denso, but similar, so looks like it was leaking at the time. it was fitted yonks ago. just looked at extension connectors at homebase, I have them on my 2 loos, also a flexi...

Hi Guys, I,m about to buy a new toilet to replace old one, 20 years old +. It,s been plumbed into old cast iron waste, BUT, it,s surrounded by tape, so cannot see what connection they,ve used. Don,t want to disturb it yet, but would like to know best way to connect new one to waste outlet...

Hi micky, yes, when I took cover plate off , I had to prise it off, welded, so that probably made it easier, getting it back on washarder, lining it up, and spring.Any idea about welding?considering he,s never had it serviced from new, it belts out heat better than my new30kw veissmann, his...

Hi micky, just an update on boiler. Not too bad for ex-engineer;;;changed diaphragm in 1 hr 10 minutes;;in situ;; Confused me though, didn,t think it would come out,small o-ring kept it tight, had to wriggle it a bit. Also, the diaphragm, unlike Vokera, works on a plunger system both...

Thanks micky, got manual, sent e-mail, ignore mse. on them many blogs. :oops: Looking at it, the microswitch is attached to diverter valve via a clip, yes. Need to go see boiler, can see why DV would be awkward, side on to change in situ. My boiler engineers just been, 15 minutes .£90, all he...

Hi mick,yg, sorry about late, comeback, had to rush out, OH, pranged car;;CHeers It,s [email protected] I seem to have caused an upset again,sorry When My Vokera was playing up. I seem to recall Tony was always at loggerheads with everyone. The site says It will recon the existung board for...

Hi, Mick, even if diaphragm was duff, the boiler should heat DHW when microswitch is operated manually, says it,s not ? but ch is ok.Son said he took micro off, what for??, if it,s not working in situ, it,s either duff, or something else. Pin only operates it,if it doesn,t work by hand , any...
