Cheers.

Went to do a landlords safety certificate for a letting agent at the weekend, the property had a Glow Worm fire/BBU. The flue terminal was missing, so I AR'd it. I know you're not supposed to replace parts on an old back boiler, due to the Energy Efficiancy Regs, but does this stretch to the...

The thermisters were giving a reading of about 7k/ohms, which I believe is alright. (Should be 1.5 to 25k/ohms).

From what I remember the H/W pump was running. Been out to this same boiler before. Tests pointed to the pressure switch. Ordered one, went back and the bloody thing was working perfectly again when I arrived!

Been out to an old Worcester 350 RSF boiler. Was told that it wasn't working on ch or dhw. When I arrived the ch was working, but was then told that the dhw wasn't. Opened a hot tap and the boiler fired up and the water ran nice and hot for about 3 or 4 minutes. Turned tap off and shower on and...

The more I think about it, it has to be a faulty mixer somewhere. Thanks my friend.

Yeah, that's right. Cistern full and both basin and sink mixer taps turned off. She fills bath, both mixers run slightly (only when hot bath tap, which isn't a mixer, is on) and toilet cistern fills even more, causing it to overflow into the pan EXCEPT it only happened once while I was there and...

Cheers. The mixer taps on the basin and kitchen sink seem to be running cold. The bath taps are seperate hot and cold, but obviously there could be a mixer valve on the hot. Both basin and sink taps look to be in good order. Stripped them down and they look fine. Can't believe both of them are...

Hey, that's excellent! I always like the "funny" replies you sometimes get on here! I think you mis-spelt your name, you're surely "bengagsman"!

Right! If this isn't the paranormal at work then I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is anyway, which is why I'm on here to see if any of you lot do, but anyhow..... Customer has nicely, recently refurbished house, 4 or 5 year old combi (can't remember what make), and when she turns...

Cheers for that, Dave.

Not sure that being an IT bod would cut any mustard with Gas Safe Register, dude! If you ain't qualified, you're an amateur!

Top man. Cheers.

Just been to refill an unvented system in a house that was drained down last october. It was fitted with an unvented cylinder, although the ch was gravity fed from the loft. Filled ch and bled rads. No vent pipe into ch feed tank. When I turned on the boiler (standard open vent Potterton) it...

I think you mean vented.

yes, that was very good. Not quite what we were looking for. Anyone got any sensible answers?

Anybody out there had any dealings with CTS Consultants? They do ACS courses and combi fault finding e-learning courses, as well as training at their centres throughout the country. I'm interested in their combi fault finding e-learning course, which has a certified exam at the end (although...

Is it possible to fit a thermostatic mixer valve (Bossmix TMV3) to a non thermostatic mixer shower on a combi? I would have thought it not, as the hot and cold would be getting mixed at the TMV3 and then again at the shower, meaning that the water would never get up to 50 degrees unless the...

I can if I'm told exactly what to do with it!

sorry, won't do it again....
