Thanks for the reply. He's going to give me a price on monday and im going to go and see him after work. he did say timing chain, but i've googled the car etc and from what i can tell it has a belt and not a chain, so maybe he's said chain and meant belt. I'm also going to phone a vw/audi...

Hi, My polo recently stopped starting. It turns over but doesn't start. After RAC man couldn't start it i got it towed to a local garage. Guy reckoned it was an electrics problem as when he plugged his machine in it was giving a 'mains relay' fault with no error code. He told me he needed to...

Hi, I'm having problems sealing a bath/shower. The shower is above the non-tap end of the bath (this was all done before i moved in). There is also a glass 'shield' that runs from the wall along the side of the bath. I have never been able to successfully seal it. I am starting to think it is...

thanks Kev. DP, I've sent you an email. Cheers

Hi DP, didnt realise you were in Glasgow. Can't seem to find the message facility. Could you post/message your number and i'll give you a call. Thanks

hi dp, thanks. wasn't going to change the hwhe myself. called out a corgi guy today and spoke to him tonight about it. he said that he didnt want to change the hwhe in case that didnt solve it. should i suggest the diverter valve? is this something he should have picked up on before...

Hi twgas, just searched for the part online and its come up with 139 ex vat for heat exchanger and 92 for domestic heat exchanger http://www.heatingspareparts.com/BoilerpartS.aspx?SearchType=Quick&SupplierId=26&ApplianceId=9762&SparePartsTypeId=92 which one is a secondary heat...

thanks twgas, how much would be reasonable to replace the secondary heat exch?

Hi, Got a vokera 20-80 flowmatic boiler. The pressure reflief valve was leaking even when down at 1 bar, so replaced that. Then pressure shot up straight away, so recharged expansion vessel. Difficult to do with the valve where it is but on 3rd attempt, seemed to have got it. But pressure...

excellent, thanks for the help

the reason i closed it was because it seemed like it was taking forever. the boiler is a vokera 20 - 80 rs flowmatic, if this makes a difference. I'll try it again tomorrow after work. But this time leave the drain cock open? what about the other pipes (ie return pipe, etc) should i be...

if the Schroeder valve is the 'car tyre' like valve that sits on top of the expansion vessel, then yeah. Very difficult to get to cause of its location. I bought a wee foot pump with a pressure gauge and each time i 'pumped' into it the gauge would rise before falling down, but the 'baseline'...

Hi, I posted earlier about issues i'm having with my combi boiler. I had replaced the pressure relief valve but was then having the pressure increase. I was advised to re-charge the expansion vessel which i did (hoping i had done it correctly) and thought it had fixed it. However, the...

Hi, Just finished re-charging the expansion vessel and its worked a treat. Thanks for your help, oh and, 'mon the Gers! In case anyone else is looking for instructions on how to recharge the expansion vessel, here's the two pages i found...

Hi, My boiler had been leaking for a while and thus losing pressure, but since it was only a little to begin with I lived with it and just checked the pressure and topped it up every now and then. However, at the weekend it no longer held any pressure and any water i put in simply came out of...

eh, was more thinking of a sustainable solution that didn't involve dying or risk of serious harm. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

was going to build an insulated 'shed' round it :lol:

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I hadn't checked the other forum cause i thought it emailed me when a reply was posted. The reason i thought of lpg is because my neighbour is trying to use a wood/charcoal burner that heats up a 'box' of water in which is submerged a radiator that is connected to...

Hi, I've been toying with the idea of building a hot tub in my garden (by hot tub I mean literally a tub of water that is hot i.e. no bubbles) and am looking to sound out ideas about heating it. What would seem to be the best idea to me would be to plumb in a gas combi boiler run on calor...
