You may already have an answer, however, we had a similar problem and usually means the heating element has busted. If you replace it also do a clean out of all the pipes inside the machine. Apparently blocakges in these pipes can cause problems. We has two elements go in quick succession...

Thanks Qedelec. I'll also do the mains switch off test for comfort. Thanks to everyone for their advice throughout the year & Merry Christmas to all. Look forward to Part Q in 2008. Cheers.

Thanks - I'll try that.

It was the RCD - maybe it was just a surge after firing it up, but it is working okay now. I was more conerned with the resistance, I thought that all circuits should be 'clean'. Tks

Problem in kitchen which I hope is not a propblem. Wonder if you can help. Had to disconnect our hob for one day. decorating. Did nothing to the wiring at all. Re-connected last night and the system tripped. Diconnected once again, checked for break in cable - couldn't see any...

Thanks Masona - our problem is that there is a step in the wall so needed a batten to bring all units into the same plane. Nige & Pete - don't do that to me! :shock: Anyway units have been up for three days now and no sign yet of them coming off. The wife hasn't quite filled them to...

Thanks guys. Why do you think wall collapse is an issue - this is an exterior wall of brick? Tks CM

Have a small problem and I hope someone has the advice to get me over it. In order to level a wall we are hanging our units on I had to put a 2" x 3" batten on the wall over a length of 200cm. The units will be hung from this batten with a similar depth batten at the base of each unit for...

Got home tonight to do the hydrogen test and - no air to bleed from system AND the lazy rad is beginning to heat up. I just filled the split hex nut on the AAV with temp putty leak repair last night. Not saying that was the reason for air in system before, but co-incidence? Thanks Ricarbo for...

Well I only hope that doen't react as well.

A point of interest on CH gases, although probably not to the professionals, I also spoke again with Fernox re inhibitors [see other post titled inhibitors] apparently mixing Fernox with SoNi inhibitors could possibly cause a reaction producing gases in the system i.e. not air. They have...

Sorry Jase - can't help you with the plumbing technicals - I'm just a punter who went through a whole heap of design and catalogue roaming when we had a couple of new bathrooms fitted. The pro-plumber did the rest. In our installtion the pipes were 'buried' behind plasterboard with the...

Jase, Is there any way you can put the taps in the wall and have a filling spout?

Thanks Chris. Pipes are 22mm. I have tried balancing but this one rad steadfastly refuses to get hot, just warm. maybe I'll give it another bash, failing that top up the inhibitor, wait 'til spring and get someone in to give the whole system a once over. Thanks for advice.

Jase - maybe try Bristanhttp://www.bristan.com/indexbristan.html

Thanks SMJ - I'll replace, I've got to nw anyway - it's leaking good and proper. I was also concerned about position of pump between cold feed and three port. On reading other posts I though order was cold feed, vent, pump but I suppose in my case with a combined feed and expansion this is...

Opened top plug - no air Opened side hex plug - water only leaking out. Now not able to stop it. Bolt also looks split . I'll have to replace. Only two years old shouldn't have gone that quickly surely, especially if 'unused'. No name just 10 bar - 110c - presume pressure and temp...

Try Sottini - Alchemy - monobloc for Baths/basins with matching shower http://sottini.co.uk/index2.asp Great opening sequences to their website as well.

No worries - a little humour never goes amiss. Just disappointed it took me five mins to work out! Any ideas from the image? Rgds

****ing myself laughing by any chance - no-one has ****ed in the expansion tank!!!! :roll:
