    Glow worm boiler losing pressure

    Afternoon all, Got a glow worm betacom 24 (i think) fitted, which is literally a year old. Over the last few months I have had to top the system up on a weekly basis due to losing pressure. The boiler is always topped up to 1 bar, and over the course of a week or so it drops down about...

    UPVC friction hinges

    I need to replace one set of hinges. The ones I have are slimline and are 4 bar ones. I have found some slimline hinges but they are 6 bar ones and have 1 less fixing hole. Will these hinges be ok, and would it matter if I only used 2 instead of the 3 screws, on the actual window bit, not the frame?

    Ravenheat rsf 820/20 possible prv problem

    i don't know if this is of any relevance but the pipe that comes out of the prv is quite hot when the boiler is heating water, would this indicate that the pvr hasn't closed properly? could it also be the expansion vessel, or would there be different symptons, as the hot water and heating works...

    Freezing cold house

    are the colder radiators furthest away from your boiler? if so, try reducing the amount of water going into the rads closest to the boiler and turn the ones that are cold right up. the rads should all have taps that do this, they might have a little plus and minus on the top of them, not like...

    Ravenheat rsf 820/20 possible prv problem

    Hi all, I've signed up as i think i have a problem with the prv on the above boiler. Basically last night my pilot light went out, had a look and the pressure was 0, so i fired up pilot light and topped the water up, albeit to pretty much nearly 3 bar by accident. didn't think anymore of it...
