That happened with me. £1400 quoted for a slightly dented tailgate on a 15 year old Citroen!

If it's a bolt on panel consider buying it from a breakers. That way, it will already be faded and will be a better match for your existing paintwork.

We had a Potterton boiler just like the one in the picture and it lasted 40 ish years before the heat exchanger rotted through.

Does indeed sound like the fan. In the old days they could sometimes be restored by re-lubricating the bearings but as it's inside the CC best not to touch it.

I think there's no point power-flushing the old rads; all it will do is disturb the sludge which will then be distributed throughout the rest of the system that you are keeping. Personally, I'd have the radiators replaced, power-flush to remove any crud in the pipes then have the new boiler...

Hi, It says "M90F 24S" on the label. What's the difference between an M90F 24S, M90 and a 24S? All very confusing! Will check the motor operation tonight as you describe. It's a brand new motor but I suppose the wiring/PCB could be at fault. The pin moves up and down under thumb pressure sp I...

Have checked both temperature sensors and both read correctly. Have ordered a new heat exchanger to try. I will let you know the result! If it turns out to be sludged up, is there a reliable way to clean it so that I can keep it as a spare/sell it on (It's stainless steel) Thanks very much...

OK, turning both heating controls down makes no difference; it still does the fire up, stop, fire up thing when the DHW is running. When the DHW is running the heat exchanger is too hot to touch on the front but cold on the back. When not running the heat soaks through the whole heat exchanger...

Would a blocked heat exchanger fail suddenly? It has been working OK over Xmas.

Have run the DHW for about 10 mins and I suppose the flow and return pipes from the boiler are moderately warm. I can't really tell whether this is due to heat conduction in the copper, though. If I remove the diverter valve actuator again, will there be a pin in the middle that responds to...

I'll do that once the pipes have cooled a bit (I have been running the CH) Also I have: 1. replaced the three way diverter valve actuator (I have a spare) 2. Checked both temperature probes with a multimeter (They agree with the graph in the manual) 3. Checked that the LED lights on the flow...

Hi All, I have a Biasi M90 24S which is causing hassle. If I switch the wall thermostat on the boiler heats the radiators just fine. Pump spins, pressure is OK etc. If I put on a hot tap I get cold or tepid water. The diverter valve pin comes out and pushes the micro-switch OK and the boiler...

Fab job!

There probably are regs and I have already considered giving it a really good flush afterwards. A friend had his HW heat exchanger flushed in situ, buy a guy who connected directly to the boiler - this would have fallen foul of any descaler-in-potable-water regs too. At the moment it's just a...

Hi All, I have a combi boiler and live in a hard water area. I don't have any problems...yet. However, I'm rolling around a few ideas as to what to do when the boiler eventually needs descaling. I'm not worried about the CH side of things; that's only got a limited amount of water in it and...
