    speedfit and compression

    Have I made a cock up? I have used copper inserts with speedfit piping and compression fittings, these are not the plastic ones recommended on the JG website. Am I in for trouble with leaks?

    Ford Escort Problems!!

    I have a similar problem with my 1.6. Took it to Ford they told me it was the IAC, they changed but it did not fix the problem. Went back and they changed the fuel metering valve. Still didn't fix it!!! Now they reckon that the whole ECU needs replaced, think I will learn to live with it. It...

    moving a radiator

    I am planning to move a radiator from one wall to another (swmbo's idea). All the pipe work under the floor is 10mm copper. It is a two pipe system and the pipe runs will be shorter when I am finnished as the feed under the floor will be closer to where it comes through into the underfloor...

    Thanks for the help. I am under a maintenance contract with British gas, just don't like the idea of them ripping up all my floors!!! Guess I am going to have to get them out and face the mess.

    worcester greenstar HE

    Gauge rises when the water heats up. Also seem to have to bleed a couple of upstairs rad every so often. Leak in the circulation system I have not spotted?

    worcester greenstar HE

    The complete system was new about 4 years ago. I have checked under the floors (as best as I could downstairs) and round the rads themselves. It has been losing pressure for about 6 months and no wet patches on the ceilings from the upstairs pipework. How much water would I expect to see at the...

    worcester greenstar HE

    My worcester greenstar HE combi seems to lose pressure after a few days of running. Having read some of the other posts I am not sure if the pressure relief valve is passing. Not a lot of evidence of leaks at the outlet. Any ideas?
