Alright for some, thanks for your patience.

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply, I have managed to take the photos and I am waiting for one of my sons to get in touch to tell me how to send them. I hate computers never have got into how to use them properly. I will send them SAP if that's OK. Cheers Reg.

would that be programmer or room stat etc.

Hi sorry but I am back again, the boiler is a Ideal Classic RS40, I installed it over 25 years ago and it worked fine for a good few years. Things packed up over time IE: room stat, programmer, 3 port valves etc. Recently I had to replace all the electrical inners due to being plastic in a hot...

Hi again all, I decided to check the wiring first, I looked up the "Y" diagram but I found 2 diagrams, one shows 2 power brown wires in the number 1 port of the warring and the other showing 3 wires, only one can be right.

Yep that's what I'm going to do. Thanks for your help.

Hi Ian, yep that's part of getting older you worry about most things. Thanks again.

Is there anything I can put in the hot tank to clean it then flush it out. At 82 I'm not as fit as I was.

I now have a Honeywell to fit, fingers crossed it's the answer, but is there anyway to clean out the tank, or is it a new tank, as this one is very tight in a cupboard.

Could be the hot water tank has been in place for the 24 years, but the only thing I can do is change the tank, I believe the tank cant be cleaned out, I have cleaned and flushed the system.

Hi all, I fitted my own central heating about 24 years ago, all worked well. It's a "Y" system but over the years I have had to replace the 3 port valve about 4 to 5 times. But now I have to replace it again after only 10 months use. It is getting a bit silly any ideas as to what may be wrong...

Hi all, thanks for all your help. I did a complete drain down cleaned out the tanks, new 3 port valve, cleaner in the system another drain down, all in all system now working like new. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi, funny enough I was just looking into a new valve, a Honeywell.

Good one ian.

Hi Gasguru, no I use ESi, at the time it was the only one that you could unplug the wiring from.
