Suspected Bearings Fail Replacement

Just to thank everyone for their advice and tips. I finished the job yesterday afternoon (before leaving the house immediately to celebrate!) and happy to report that all works fine and no drips anywhere. Annoyingly it was pressure tested to 4 bar, as once I'd turned off the water fill...

Haha, slightly concerned about the outcome when I re-fill now! Fingers crossed. Thanks for the replies. Managed to get the bypass tube in. No matter how hard i pushed from the top down, and shook the pipe when in situ I couldn't get it in, so undid the four screws again on the plastic...

Still really struggling to get the bypass pipe in. It's seated within the plastic manifold, with a new o-ring and some silicon grease, but just can't push it in enough to get the clip round it no matter what I try. Does anyone know of any tips? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for that Stormer, managed to get it off in the end, by levering it away with a large flathead screwdriver. Due to length of service, there was a lot of build up around the joint, where it had partially seized... Happy to report it's back in, although now I have the challenge of...

hi, thanks for the reply, The bright red hot water light has always been consistent with the sound of the boiler firing, and hot water coming out of the tap. Now when I open the hot water tap fully, the boiler doesn't fire nor does the red light glow. I just kept the hot tap open...

Boiler Diagnosis, Hot Water Issues

Hi all, Hopefully this is a fairly quick question that someone may be able to answer in diagnosing an issue with my Worcester 24cdi combi boiler. Recently the hot water has stopped working in my flat. Water still comes out of the hot taps, at the same pressure as before, but it is no...

Nice one joenineo, so good to see your solution, if I hadn't have been lucky enough to have it just open with poking around you're post would have been invaluable. Plus if it happens again in the future I know where to come! Biggest advice to anyone who's not yet had the experienced the...
