What's a shuttle? Never heard of that before.

I have a Worcester 240 combi boiler and was recently having problems with my hot water temperature being 'cooler' than it used to be. I read up (mainly on here) and the suggestion seemed to be that if my central heating flow pipe was heating-up with the heating off when the hot water was run...

I appreciate that and understand that there are certain works which I cannot carry-out. I was just after some views from those in the know on the likely cause of the problem which I have described, particularly if anyone has encountered a similar problem previously.

The manual says there are adjustment screws for each of the control taps, accessed by removing the control knob. I've taken these off but there are definately no adjustment screws on or near the taps. The hob was in the house when I bought it about 4 years ago and it didn't look that old...

Thanks swbjackson, I've removed the pan supports and then taking each of the 4 burners individually, I've taken the two parts off each which are removeable ie the burner cap and the burner crown which has the slotted holes all around it. I've soaked these in soapy water as per the...

I have a Moffat gas hob. It lights ok and all 4 burners work as they should when they are switched on full, but when the burners are lowered, the flame goes out. I have noticed if you turn the burners down really slowly, they will reduce the flame and it does stay lit but if you turn them down...

I have just had some ribbed entrance matting fitted in my porch. It's not an inlaid matwell type product, it is laid directly on top of the concrete floor and is like a thick ribbed carpet (for want of a better phrase), which I believe is supposed to 'scrape' the dirt off the bottom of your...

On reflection, wouldn't tile adhesive be difficult to trowel off flat and smooth? Is there anything else I could consider using, which would be easier to level off and trowel up smooth?

I can live with it if the tiles show through after a while as the cushion floor will probably only be a relatively temporary fix until I get around to renewing the Kitchen. I just want to tidy up the flooring and taking up the damaged tiles and infilling the gaps seemed the easiest and cheapest...

I have about 8 or 10 loose and cracked 300x300mm floor tiles in my Kitchen. I am thinking about hacking these out, cleaning off the adhesive down to the concrete floor slab and infilling the space left in between the existing tiles and then laying some cushion floor over the entire floor to...

So, would it be worth doing it this way:- 1) Get the system upto temperature 2) isolate the f and r pipes on the boiler 3) turn off all but one radiator and do the procedure similar to what you have described above but mains cold water flush out each of the radiators in turn via the...

What is the longest time that X800 should be left in the system then? If I do the above but don't flush the 'sludge' dislodged from each radiator out of the system, am I not in danger of clogging up my boiler?

I thought that I had read somewhere that X800 is for use with power flushing machines and that X400 should be used as a general magnetite sludge remover? Sorry if it sounds like a daft question but what is the procedure for correctly doing a "hot flush per rad"

If you have a ballofix valve, you could reduce your water pressure slightly by closing the valve off a touch. I had a similar problem previously to the one which you have described. I too had to replace some flexi connectors and the new ones were shorter than the existing. I just extended the...

Out of interest, I know that the Magnaclean can be used as a dosing point but do you have to use a certain type of fitting for connecting onto it and do you have to use a certain make of er.....dosing liquid :?

Thanks for all of your replies. I'll have a think about my next move regarding the boiler then but in the meantime, I am definitely going to put some X400 in and leave it running around the system for about a month. I mentioned in my initial post about fitting a Magnaclean or something...

I currently have a Worcester 240 combi. No problems with it but it's about 13 or 14 years old and I think it is probably not running at its most efficient these days. I am therefore thinking of swapping it for a new boiler:- 1) Do I have to have a condensing boiler fitted these days? 2) The...

OK. The photo was one I googled, not the actual property in question, but i'll get the cowl swapped. Thanks for the advice.

It's connected to a gas fire
