It's all down to fuel efficency, I would think. You are only using the one electrical element from which the whole household heating and hot water demand is satisfied. Granted it is via a secondary wet source. It would be very expensive in running cost to have separate electrical elements in...

Electric boilers are very effeciant reliable and need hardly any maintenance. Maybe this helps to offset the higher running cost when compared to gas. Aztec are very good and I wouldn't personally bother undating the system to unvented (keep it conventional). Plumbing is a simple job and...

A one pipe system is not suitable for your new boiler - you can never mix have a mix of the two systems because it won't work. Here's the difference - On a one pipe system the water in the return from the 1st radiator goes on to warm all up the other radiators (in turn) before returning to...

No it's with reference to the belfast sink, which can also called a tubby sink - hence tubby waste for a tubby sink. This is a Belfast sink...

But, I'm confused whether the service kit includes the necessary seals etc or not as there are several references to different contents and part numbers! Would I be better off, considering the extent of crud, replacing the whole diverter valve? Thank you, Dave. Yes, I would...

The only thing I can think of that would overide all the boiler controls is the built in frost stat becoming faulty that these boilers have. The water leak, mmmm..... condensate trap full? I can't conclusively say that these are the faults with this boiler on a DIYnot forum I can only make...

Here you are this is what you need. http://www.mbd-bathrooms.co.uk/WA478C-1_12_belfast_sink_waste_slotted.html Us older plumbers call them tubby wastes. Servotech,

http://www.motmax.co.uk/ No pass, No pay! Sounds like it's worth a look if there's one in your area. Maybe all MOTs will be like this one day Whatever happned to that government propsal that MOTs should be evey 2 years (like it is in the rest of europe)?

Safety! There are certain safety issues with a solid fuel boiler that the worksheet makes no allowances for. Servotech,

No, It's not suitable for combi's or solid fuel boilers. :D

Just thought that I'd check back on this post again and it's a good job I did! You don't just install the biggest boiler the customer can afford yet we must accept a modern HE boiler is very different kettle to the old coventional boiler (time to throw out your old myers calculator :D )...

I know plenty of good but grumpy grumpy plumbers - infact it's almost a trade requirement :D

Looking back, everything about the 70s feels warmer and we tend to forget times back then were really hard. For instance, inflation in July1975 peaked ar 26% (and we think we've got problems today). Unemployment hit 938,000 up by a massive 238,000 since the start of the year. A new word...

DIY car repairs were massive back then and down at the local pub it would be one of the main topics of conversation. Someones "master cylinder" had always broken in the 70s :D (I never did find out what one was but as you never hear of them today they must have been a thing of the time)...

One thing came to my mind is that there was hardly ever any back-ground music played in shops back then and if there was it was something like the top poppers sing the hits of the day. I think it was some copyright law that stopped shops from playing copyrighted music back then. Another...

The bad new is that lead is toxic. The good news is (and not many people know this) that the human body can easily dispose of small amounts of lead. Our bodies naturally emit it as waste through our nails and hair. Very clever eh? 8) Servotech,

Oh but I can; it's my bleedin' computer that doesn't always work properly.

At least you found something. :roll: It was meant to be patronising. I hope you also improve your future postings, try using facts for example. You try using your brain you chick tunt.

No I'm just pasing on some advice. If you don't take it that's up to you. Infact I now recomend you pay for the top 5 star cover plan from BG that way you can contribute even more to Phil Bentlys present million pounds/year wage packet.

I find your post to be both arrogant and patronising and hope for a subseqent improvement in all your future postings. Tithead!!!
