the auto air valve works in the same way as an old type snorkel, a water vessel with a hole in the top and a float inside. when air enters the chamber, the float drops opening the top hole, as air escapes water level rises lifting the float reseals the hole. when these start leaking...

why was there a big mess on the floor?????????????/

You could be right Croydon but until I have Identified the system I cant be sure, so I shall burn that bridge if I get to it. HI Corgiman I have sent an email to admin with a piccy I did from 'Paint', cant get a photo of it without taking the airing cupboard apart, (its one of that type)...

I hope someone out there has some answers, because this has stumped me. Firstly we have a 'not new' potterton standard wall mounted boiler, this supplies heat to a non standard indirect combi cylinder (it has 1 extra water connection to the lower third of the cylinder). The heating is a...

You were right Igorian, thank you. Seems the 2 progs were reporting the same thing differently. However I am still seeking something to do an independent monitor on the flow of traffic, as it can take days sometimes to get through the ques and start downloading. With my and other peoples slow...

Currently I am running p2p prog winmx. Maybe its immoral but loads of us are doing it. The thing is this, on winmx it tells me I am uploading at a rate of around 2kbps and on my Sygate it tells me outgoing traffic is 6/9Kbps. I cant help wondering if this is what is called 'hijacking' and...

Yes Breezer, as it happens I still have an Atari games console. Think its in the loft, wasnt worth anything to sell and I have a huge dislike of throwing anything that works away. You never know it might be worth something by the time my grandchildren have kids. My but it has been fun...

Friend of mine had a vic 20 then upgraded(?) to a commodore 32. I must admit to being pleased that someone else actually believes the Amiga was a superior machine to a pc, when I got my first pc, a pentium 75, I really thought it was my imagination, all the blurb that was around at the time...

Ty Igorian. Gonna give it a go and see how I get on. If I work on it flat out should be able to report back in a couple of days, no training you see. cheers

I have downloaded a .iso file from winmx. I know that it is a CD image file and needs to be burnt to cd to make it work. However it is a self booting cd, designed to install a well known OS without install 98se first. When I tested the disc it told me that Atapi.SY_ was corrupt and quit. Not...

As you lot seem to be reminiscing, my first real computer was the Amiga 600HD. 20mb of on board disc, brill. Cant really call a Commodore 64 or a Dragon 32 REAL computers, just toys. But my question for all you old time geeks is, was the windows based system on the Amiga in use before Billy...

I cant help wondering, having read this thread, wether my problem is similar or has roots in the same area. I have been receiving emails with a variety of viruses (virii) as attachments. Normal procedure now is to delete unknown senders with attachments. And thanks are due in turn to Grisoft...

Ty. The link I used is above, a firm called ezypart. WAY cheaper than elsewhere. Good luck and hope you have more joy.

Epilogue: The diaphragm in the diverter valve was found to be perished, as foretold. Cheers Chris n Ollski. However, when replaced, the timer failed. I mean broke down just before d/v was due to be replaced. Ever resourceful, the timer is bypassed, the heating was on again. But now when the...

The valve is a diverter, it diverts the the cold feed to the boiler through the primary/secondary heat exchanger, where it heats and comes out of the h/w flow pipe.In doing so it operates the micro switch, telling the gas valve there is a need for heat If it is faulty it wont divert the water...

:oops:

er herm dont always. Only when it seems prudent.

Do you mean your spur fuse or your main fuse box, ie an RCD unit. The way to trace it should be to isolate each component in turn. A new component does not guarantee its reliability. It sounds like a y-plan system if you have a 3 port valve this can be disconnected and then manually put to...

Sorry Su sounds like you need a new one, or just live with it. A thought though, most trv's come with a blanking off cap that is replaced by the thermostat when in use. If you still have one of these then fit it and see if the valve shuts off. If it doesnt then a replacement valve is needed...

Masona wrote You can get combi or trad types of condensing boilers. The only difference in appearance is a condensate pipe running to the outside to allow condensed water to escape. They claim to be more efficient than standard boilers. I think, though, that they have just got more bits...
