I hear you Would it be acceptable to replace a short section of it using a chock block and suitable enclosure? Reason being the wiring terminates at opposite end of house and may result in a ball ache should the new wire snag. Is there any point replacing the pump all together? I mean the old...

Correct - GHW I understand system should be modernised. We as a family are constantly reminded just how rubbish (matter of opinion I guess) the system is every time BG come to service it. Pipework and rads are 40+ years old and boiler is touching 20 years (was a similar baxi before) Trouble...

Hi there In preparation for replacing a number of rads and bits of pipe this summer I went on the hunt for the drain point on the system. Three 15mm pipes sticking out of house outside which I followed by pulling up floorboards to the left of the Baxi Bermuda Back Boiler. I found two...

is that an exposed live part where there should be a red dot on the first fuse cartridge?

Hello Folks Could someone please point me to where I can get a replacement lock assy for my front door? The handle droops down on the outside and now wont stay closed unless it's locked. It's a multipoint but the multi points are on the top and bottom - not along the side of the door so the...

Done that, two bottles of x200 a few weeks ago. Replacing 5 old rads in summer so will be draining/flushing then. Certainly the retro fit pump over run is working out brilliantly. Steve

is that what is causing the hissing noise as well as kettleing?

Hi Folks Baxi Bermuda 50/4 Back Boiler Gravity Hot water (with injector tee) Pumped CH I recently retro fitted a pump over run circuit to my heating system as the pump immediately turning off along with the boiler was causing the boiler to Kettle. As a direct consequence I was only able...

Thanks for all the advice so far. The system will be drained and filled a good few times in the nicer weather however for the time being - due to pipework inaccessibility - I am going to go for a power off delay relay from RS Components (the kind that can be mounted on a DIN rail in a CU)...

I put boiler silencer in a few weeks ago (x200) and it did make a slight improvement. I also replaced 1 rad earlier this year due to being underpowered and plan on replacing another 6 along with TRV's next summer as well as draining and refilling numerous times so all rads should be modern...

There are no two port valves on my system so it's impossible to have pumped hot water without getting a plumber in to repipe accordingly. All the pipework is approx. 40 years old with one boiler change which was almost a like for like, old back boiler out, new back boiler in. The pump is...

http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=62214 just found this thread which explains my problem in about a tenth of the time, doh! So yes, basically what he said but the Pipe thermostat is a no go for me because of the pump location. I feel this pump overrun option is the best for me...

Hello everyone. I have an ageing central heating system that still works fine and outputs plenty heat however it bangs loudly from the boiler area when switching off due to possible build up of sludge. The symptom is as follows... I have gravity hot water and pumped central heating with...

Any reason why? I have open vent and have one of theirs and it heats up just as hot as the rest? Steven
