Plumbcentre should be able to help :D

Where can I get a new Thorn Apollo 15/30 heat exchanger from??? Do the do reconditioned ones or s/hand inspected ones??? Cheers :D

Just done this on a conversion to flats it does work however watch when you grind as the sparks tend to get stuck on painted render and PVCu windows the nicely rust about a day later looking pretty awfull as we found out to the plumbers cost

Coming back in the week to complete the task, just want to know what to expect like the gas safety record you mentioned, heat exchanger is a ok

Got the guy back to have a look, he simply bent the TC more into the pilot light and now its holding, all working good now. :D I'm selling the house soon and would like to have the boiler certified as safe before i sell, what should I expect from a engineer to certify as safe i.e. is a...

Does a high stat fail safe buy being closed circuit or a open circuit?

Following on from other thread had the boiler (Thorn Apollo 15/30) serviced and the TC changed and the Oheat stat replaced, the guy changed some 'A' clips so that the cowl pulled tight against the back as the old clips were threaded and all seemed well the boiler fired up and we have had heat...

Have a engineer coming round tonight so could do with some info, i.e. just some pointers to what it could be if that is possible. If its not the TC then it could be the ............... etc Thanks

The TC was changed before we went away and all was well. When we got back it seemed to be gone again so a new TC was fitted, the original TC was £6 where as the one fitted now was £22 and specific to the boiler, I assumed the £6 TC was a universal so sourced a specific part rather than the...

Hi all, Just got back from hols in America to find the boiler on the blink again, great :cry: Thorn Apollo 15/30. Pilot light won't stay lit. New thermocouple fitted today still won't have it. The pilot light lights but won't stay lit and is a good blue flame. Any help as...

Hi, Just wondered if someone could run throught the re connection of a gas supply. I have purchased a property and need to get gas in, there is a gas pipe in but it is not live according to Transco and I need to nominate a supplier who will instal a meter. Any pitfalls etc that I may...

Ohh tar didn't realise they can use existing CH systems looks pretty usefull, will see which is cheaper thanks

I've seen the dimplex leccy ones didn't relise there were others. do tell

How do you tell? There may be a problem if I cap them off and stop the flow to another radiator, I have turned the rad off and all the other rads still work in the house. I'm removing the rad from my kitchen to get another base unit in, so I don't really want to be ripping it all out again...

When removing a radiator should I cap the now dead pipes or join them together?

Thanks to the advice on this forum I'm £1500 better off, for now. What started as a noisy boiler banging crashing knocking and wheezing and a quote for £1500 for a new boiler, because 'that ones knackered mate, can't get the parts for them now' A bit of research and £25 of boiler noise...

Took rad off wall with suitable container to collect black sludge. connected my normal plastic hose adapter that screws to the outside tap on, fitted perfect and flushed the system through, Couldn't find a drain fitting that was compresion as I have no soldering gear so left that one for the...

Sounds messy, can I then allow the system to fill and flush through, say if I connected a hose to the exposed pipe and then catch it in a suitable container. I think I know what your talking about yes, but no all pipework goes straight into the rad and shutoff valve

I need to flush my CH system and the only drain valve I can find is above the boiler on the inlet side. The boiler is at the mid point of the house so half the rads will be below that point, just releasing the water from this point wouldn't really help would it? How can I ensure a full flush...
