    Agile you really like giving BG a hard time. Suspect you are perfect of course. Do not usually rise to comments but resent being labelled as a poor engineer. Keep your comments to the subject

    Ideal Icos M3080 dismantling / opening instructions

    Thanks Agile. Please DO NOT tare us all with the same brush. This is NOT the forum for slating individuals or companies. Please do not try to fix your boiler yourself. Complex boiler with known problems to look for, you will miss these and potentially cause a huge hazard to yourself and...

    worcester 24cdi problems

    More than likely the diaphragm,,cheap part but pain in the backside to change. Cdi has always been a largely reliable unit ,,BUT,,,there are a number of jobs on it which on most boilers are simple but the CDi design can hinder these repairs. Standard diaphragm repair kit that any repair engineer...

    water pump. causing header tank to overflow?

    Had something like this years ago. Are you SURE it is not the bigger tank that is not overflowing. If it is,,,,,it could possibly if you have one a thermostatic mixer(shower) passing back through the hot water side. That is if it is the domestic tank overflowing. Just a thought. Get it straight...

    Baxi combi instant 105e

    Not D.I.Y. stuff. Get someone who knows there way around a Baxi. Pos just micro-switch but usually more sinister. These boilers do not drain down like normal b oilers so would not advise you do yourself as you could be confronted with litres of very hot water. Plus expansion vessel needs to be...

    diverter valve replacement

    yeah CDI. Good generally reliable boiler,,,,but,,,,so many basic jobs onit are so difficult. Expansion vessel, unless a remote can be fitted, nightmare, well invloved shall we say.

    " £250 " quote for Ferroli F30 PRV from a plumber

    Early ones had separate prv. If it is a combined unit it can be done without taking out heat exchanger. It is not a difficult job if you know how and does not take very long. Have done plenty. End of the day the engineer has a living to make. Van to maintain deisel and other over heads, and yeah...

    Small propeller on Ideal Classic fan - What is it for?

    Believe the little fan on top helps cool the motor. Prv termination can be classed as At Risk if the termination could proove a hazard. Above doorway, not terminated outside. At the end of the day water could come out of that pipe under pressure and very hot, in reality usually just drips but...

    I want to improve my gravity fed hot water by adding a pump

    1..no 2..no 3..no You need to update to fully pumped and why not consider updating boiler as well as it is probably a cast iron heat exchanger very inefficient and probably qualify's for scrappage scheme.

    British Gas Magna Clean quote

    That is not the normal B/gas price for a normal 22mm magna clean on a combi,,sure he did not include other stuff in that price . I would certainly quote cheaper than that off my laptop. Yes we are tied to prices but there is room for negotiation
