Thanks Dan.... Was planning on getting it serviced... no idea when it was last done. One last question before I call it a night :) There's a knob that doesn't seem to be in the user manual.... seems to have 3 settings... the first looks like an eclipse, the 2nd is a sun the 3rd is a...

Thanks gas4you.... now I found a manual I've switched the warmstart off and turned the DHW down. <<editted to ask:>> What size should the gas supply be to one of these things? The only bit I can see popping out of the floor (concrete) up to the boiler is in 15mm. The only other gas...

User Guide available here: http://www.vaillant.co.uk/Home/Products/Standard_efficiency_boilers/Combination/produkt_vaillant/turboMAX_plus.html I really just wanted to know how to turn the warmstart off.... seems a bit daft keeping a resevoir of water hot all day when it only gets used...

Thanks GasGuru..... spot on :) turboMAX Plus 837E Combination Boiler VUW GB 362/2 - 5 R3 G.C. 47-044-28 I'll contact Valliant about a manual. As an aside.... it seems a damn site better put together than the Potterton Puma 80e I had in the last place. A lot more... um... solid...

Hi, Hope you guys can help. Where does the ID / model plate tend to be on Valliants? Just moved house and am trying to find out what boiler is installed. I'm pretty sure it's a TurboMAX Plus 837E judging by various pictures I've found on t'interweb. It's a combi and has the "warmstart"...

Hi all, Hope someone can answer this. I've just had to have the kitchen tiled floor relaid (because the first cowboy bodged it and they were coming up). This meant all the tiles had to come up, about 3 - 4 mm of latex compound being poured and tiled over. Problem I have now is because...

I'm taking comfort that it goes down to zero when I drain the system and goes back up when I refill. Maybe all pressurised systems should have at least 12 gauges and 12 safety switches just in case :) Pass me my cotton wool sleeping bag, this world is just too scary. :lol:

wtf? Is that aimed at me? :shock: What's to understand? It's just a pressure switch. Right next to it is a handy pressure gauge that I am perfectly capable of reading before I have a shower. I suppose I am running that entirely real risk that the gauge has also broken and coincidentally...

Haven't touched them to date for exactly that reason. Always drain the whole system down. Price of a bottle of inhibitor vs having to mess about replacing one of those blighters - I know which option I'll take. Besides I only seem to have to drain down every 18 monhs or so (last time was to...

No thanks. For the reasons already discussed.

Thanks Guys I'll go with the new switch option. Thinking about it, if it is a bit sticky it could potentially stick the other way and not detect a low pressure situation - not worth the risk or the bother of messing with the existing one. I'm not using the CH at the moment anyway so it'll...

Boiler is a Potterton Puma 80e Combi Got up this morning to no DHW or CH and the Low Pressure light on the boiler lit up. Checked the gauge and it was down near zero. Just had some plastering / decorating done with a few rads being taken on and off so presumed the system hadn't been topped...

Since fitting 3 bulb ceiling lamps in my hall and landing (2 in the hall, 1 on the landing) I've noticed the bulb life seems really cr@p. Over 2 years now. These fittings take 3 GU10 240V 50W bulbs each. I seem to be getting through bulbs at a silly speed, changing about 1 a week. So roughly...

Why would you drink water from the hot tap anyway? :?

another constructive post kev :? Just like this one :D

Thanks :) No adverts in my area..... guess it's Yellow Pages then.

OK. Thanks. Anyone recommend an RGI in the Maidenhead area? Also looking to get the current vented CH system ripped out and replaced with a combi if anyone has time this side of xmas :D Cheers Graham

After a bit of advice please :D I'm not sure who I should call in first on this one....... the situation.... I have a property that has been vacant and on the market for some time. Whilst I was out of the country some months back my estate agent accompanied a potential buyer and...

Hi, Just looking for a bit of advice on feasibility before getting someone in to price this up etc. The current setup is: A 2 bed ground floor flat with an open vented system serving 6 medium sized rads with a Fortic tank in the kitchen, the boiler being in a cupboard type construction in...

Personally..... Do it with the heating off. Having connected both feed and return pipes (keeping the valves shut), open the bleed valve on the radiator then open either the feed or return valve a turn or so. Keep a towel handy.... eventually all the air will be expelled from the rad and...
