The one in edinburgh is ok, but it had no soap left. Used some hand gel in my van though, so all ok. :P

If it is solid, and you can free it up, i would put money on it going solid again after a few weeks and lots of hot/cold cycles. Just some friendly heads up advice for you. I've been there before only to have to go back and change it. Its not too hard to change. You can bung it , but if your...

Make sure that after YOU have WORKED ON the appliance, you undertake the madatory saftey checks, such as taking a burner pressure etc etc.

T off from under the floor and stick it outside. Job done. You can if you have loads of time and cash stick one on every rad, but then you are potentially creating 10 extra leak points.

Lets hope there isnt a reason its so cheap! Does it come with the body aswell??? CHances are its stuck solid, hence your issues.

My bad, your right. QAs above, check secondary circulating pump is one (and working!!!)

Usually in a house a wee pipe sticks out the wall at ankle height which can be opened to drain the system. In a flat, its usually on a radiator somewhere.

DOes this boiler have an ECO mode or a preheat function??? If it does, see if its been turned off.

thats interesting (honestly) why do you think the cold surface attracts it?? or causes it? (again honest question) Your right, if in a perfect world a system is not being topped up, so no new water is entering, then there will be a chemical reaction, it will then stop once all used up...

Are you gas safe registered? If not, are you deemed competent? If you harm you, your family or neighbours, can you prove you are competent if front of a judge? When the judge asks if you are competent, you say you are, the judge then asks for you gas safe number, you say you dont have...

Condensate stat. If it gets full, it stops the boiler from flooding itself. Was it blue plastic on top??? Really common, just change it for new. Quite cheap too.

Amen to that. Its really simple. Even if you start with a spotless system, with inhibitor, over time sludge will form. The inhibitor has a certain lifespan, and over time the soft water will react with the copper and then sludge will form. Its far better to keep the inhibitor topped up,and...

Detest this, one of the most annoying aspects of the job. You wouldnt sit in an office and expect your manager to stand behind you for your entire shift.

"Hey, look at this house, its has 3 rooms, two gardens, a drive, a garage AND a roof, oh and its in the ghetto, is it too good to be true???" Yes, Ferroli are cr4p, pretty bad, hence the price. Go for a valiant or a bosh. make sure you clean the system once installed.

Just get an old wooden wine box, cut out notches so it sits flush with the wall, attach box to wall, then make a door for access. SImples.

Perhaps he went to AR it, asked the customer to turn it off, but she declined. This will be why its still on. As for the insulation foam, if it was missing, then the outer case 'MAY' get too hot, thus causing a risk to the customer in terms of a burn. It sounds as if he was covering his...

Response :cry: 120 :cry: Leak from bottom :cry: CRACKED HEAT EXCHANGER :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Time to dig into your pockets.

if its screwed in, how will air come out ;-)

Just get him to fit a wireless programmable stat. Just did that for my MIL, and it only cost £70 it think. Saves her having to crawl to the timer under the stairs, can set the temp and programm at ease, and save cash. I cant imagine having to go out everytime i wanted to turn the heating...

ok, so you want to put a boiler on the wall, and put a door in front to hide it, not behind an acutal unit (saw this once, just walked out :-) ) As long as the kitchen fitter abides by the MI's regaridng ventilation, clearances etc, then this is fine. Rule of thumb, the Mi's are minimum, try...
