Cheers Kev I'll continue the search!!!

Guys, Hopefully a very simple one! I've just bought a house which is heated by an Ariston Microgenus. Unfortunately there has been a drop in pressure and I need to repressurise the system. Problem is I can't find the filling loop. Can anyone advice me as to whether this boiler need a...

Guys, Thank god for this site!!!!! I 've a Britony II T water heater that appears to no longer produce sufficently hot water. When I open a tap close to the water I get a small bit of hot water, but the hot water tap in the kitchen suffers (maybe because of the distance between the boiler...

Hi again guys, Sorry to continue my old post but I've still not managed to sort out the problem with my gravity hot water. I got an engineer out a while back who preformed a system boil on the system and after about 15-20 mins we both heard a whoosh of water through the pipework leading...

Guys, Just wondering if you could offer me some piece of mind. Managed to throw my TVR Griffith into a ditch today, luckily no one was hurt. The damage amounts to one of the stainless steel exhaust pipes being bend and slightly crushed, damage to the body work area above the said...

As it happens I have a guy who does my gas safety stuff, I'm sure he'll deal with it if he isn't too busy! Once again thanks, Terry

So it's another heating engineer job then? If it gets the hot water back on it's the best option. Cheers guys, I'll get an engineer out, I'll let you know the outcome. Terry

I'd read on the internet about that. I'm willing to try to do this. Is the process of disconnecting the thermostat easy? Terry

Hi all, I'm not having too much luck with m y central heating at the moment. In one of my older houses I have been having ongoing problems with the gravity fed hot water. The system had been drained to replace a raditaor on the ground floor. Once this was done the system was refilled...

Am I right in thinking that I should avoid the Main boiler (and therefore the Baxi Potterton one as well)? The Biasi seems to be popular be populr amoung some of you. Paul, I'll call Mr Central Heating to get an idea of the cost of the Sabre 25HE by itself? By the way the tenant will be...

Thanks for the response, price is an issue unfortunately because I realise that this reduces the choice. Am I also right in thinking that the Main 24HE condensing boiler is just the Baxi Potterton rebaged? I know when the heating engineer I use located a replacement thermostat for my Main...

Guys, Thanks for the advice regarding a Main Trent water heater in one of my rented properties. I've decided to bite the bullet and replace the water heater and the CH boiler with a condensing combi. I've looked at the posts on this site in great detail and think I have a choice of 2...

Once again thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll have to consider scrapping the unit. I've got another engineer coming around tomorrow to have a look at it, whetyher or not he'll entertain changing the gas valve I'm not sure. I promise to keep you posted though. Terry

Thanks for the reply. As it happens the house is in a soft water area.It suddenly seems to have started doing it. I was slighlty concerned that I needed a new heater because I had been led to believe that spares were still available. I now just how important it is to deal with cos of the...

Guys, I have a house that I let out. The tenants in the house have said that they are having problems with the hot water. Every time they turn on a hot tap it runs cold water for a small while then a bolt of steam fires through the taps violently. This then calms down and hot water then runs...

Chris, Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify I'm not sure about the Ohms setting on my meter so I'd be happier measuring the voltage. I'm not sure how to test each part individually though. Once again many thanks, Terry

Guys, I wonder if any of you can tell me a simple test to check whether my immersion heater element or the thermostat has failed. I'm not getting nay hot water and the only means I have to heat water is using the immersion heater fitted into the cylinder. I have a multimeter so could...

The estate agent had got Yorkshire Water and the gas people to confirm that the utilities were safe to turn on. This had been one about a week prior to me taking possession. I had bled the pump (both old and new) prior to turning on the boiler (I only followed advice on here that I found in...

Thanks for the advice, It's obviously not as simple as I'd have hoped. Many thanks, Terry

Hi guys, I recently purchased a property where the central heating system and water system had been drained down because the property had been empty for about 4 months. On filling the systems I have overcome most propblems but have stumbled across one that I'd appreciate some advice on...
