:lol: No probs. Thats how IDEAL deal with problems anyway, just keep swapping the parts till it works. lol

:? have you got a multimeter? if you have check the voltage on the P.C.B at the X2 connector block your locking for 230-240 across terminal 2 and 5

H9, L9 Fault are a bloody nightmare with this boiler. Its due to the heat exchanger over heating. More often than not it's caused by air in your heat ex an/or the pump being jammed. I've had the damn things come out the box and flash this as soon as you fir it up' Have you tried manually...

Daft question? But is the gas supply turned on? 133 is lack of gas or flame rectification fault

Is ther a hot water cylinder stat fitted to the tank to prevent the boiler from constantly cycling on and off? If not then it's just a waste of energy

Firstly daveyba, which 340 have you got? there's 3 different types. 340,340lf and 340 slimline. the G.c number or insruction manual should tell you. Is the boiler sparking trying to ignite? does the piolt light ignite? if it does, does it stop sparking once rectification has been achieved?

Am i correct in assuming the plumber you spoke to is the plumber who fitted it in the first place?? If so i'd be wondering wot is causing it rather than a retro fit item like a anti-syphon trap. How many other outlets, appliances are connected to this waste run? what size discharge pipe work...

When you say rumbles? and causes the seals to break. Have you ever witness the outer casing bend. These bag of poo boilers where reknowned for lumpy ignition or as we knew it by explosive :shock: so explosive where some of these that vertical flue terminals used to be found 200 yards down the...

You would have to cap both the flow an return from the cylinder at the bolier connection. A 1" black iron plug or 2 28 mm cap ends for the pipework. the cylinder return would have to be tee'd into the heating circuit as the last return on the circuit to prevent reverse circulation. Also i would...

And the ultracom is A rated which helps with the nasty HIPS pack when selling :wink:

Have you been outside where the boiler is fitted? there should be a copper pipe sticking out of the wall. does it seem to be leaking? any evidence of leakage? puddle of water, water mark on wall?

Sounds like the divertor is stuck in the wrong postion. could be crap in the system causing the valve to not turn properly, or just the valve has failed

You've got two choices. Well really one. Ring an RGI up to sort the problem. Or ring Transco who'll check the system, if there is a leak they'll TOFO. But not before placing a lovely card informing you if you turn it back on your lible to a £5000 fine. Which leads me back to first option. Ring a...

the old inch fitting is smaller than 28mm, so i theory could grip onto your slightly larger 22. Or try undoing the threaded fitting and taking it to bss or pipe center and asking them if they've got anything to help you out. failing that the copper weigh in will certainly help with the payment...

It's not that it doesn't work, it's just an old system. wot we call a gravity hw with pumped heating. without a full update to fully pumped or combi etc am afraid your stuck. there is a thing we called a summer/winter valve but it's not a very p.c. way of dealing with your current situation...

Is the wall of the pipe quite thick? if it is i say it was 20 thread. Can you trace the pipe back to anywhere it changes direction? does it have threaded fitting on it instead of soldered type?

I didnt intend to pull the guy down, would never do it intensionally. Point am getting at is, who's teachin, or giving these chaps/ladies (politically correct these days :) ) the background training to enable them to even get to the stage where a test centre says "yes you've done enough to take...

By 7/8th do you mean 3/4 copper? or is it 20 thread copper. 3/4 is smaller than 22mm so no filling required. fittings just slip straight through. 20 thread is a whole new ball game

Personally i'd of gone with a vaillant. 831 at a minimum. 4 peoples=lots of water usage. how would this boiler heat the house up when it's getting used at all different times of the day. Big demand for lots of use! And what about when the HIMO reg is placed upon you. this boiler won't cope with...

I thought the whole point of ACS was to test comptence in areas of gas work you already under take? Or has it changed that much in five years? "just curious but why when lighting a pilot do alot of boilers ask to turn thermostat to zero and switch off electrics at mains?" Just have a think...
