hello,,,I'm about to get a new boiler fitted in the next few weeks,,,i have a small 2 bed terrace house with six average size single rads,,,a towel rail and a shower,,,how big of a boiler do I need???,,,the rads are piped in 8mm copper,,,is it worth getting a mag filter???,,,would the warranty...

well the reason is mate that baxi will not touch a gas appliance over 15 years old or if its a range powermax will not touch them if they're over ten years old,,,under the terms and conditions of the fixed price repair crack,,,im recovering from some surgery at the min and couldn't be chewed...

no mate they didn't do me any favours,,,its hard to believe the previous owner of the house was not only a heating engineer with his own business but also a college lecturer for wannabe heating engineers,,,i mean if I went to a carpenters house id expect all his woodwork to be pristine if you...

another question for you lads,,,all my rads are piped up in 8mm copper,,,will a new 28kw combi be fine with this???

yes mate i mentioned the black water coming from the rads to the the gas lad,,,when turning the hot water on the fan will spin and it will cycle maybe 5 or 6 times trying to fire then locks out with the red lockout light illuminating,,,i did notice a few of the valves weaping a bit after it went...

i definately wouldn't touch anything to do with the gas myself mate,,,im pig sick of it now,,,i just thought maybe I could get it going to last the winter and replace it in the spring,,,looks like I'm going to have to get it done a lot sooner...

these must be the worst boilers ever made,,,im pleased you told me that mate i was under the impression the sump filter was a wet part,,,like part of the water works,,,so what does the sump filter actually filter then???,,,just stuff from inside the burner chamber???

aye mate the fan spins fine,,,the boiler worked perfect for a few weeks till one morning I left the house for a few days and turned off the gas supply,,,on returning I put the hot water on to take a shower forgetting to turn the gas back on and its been on lockout ever since......

i live in durham agile,,,i have a feeling the thing just needs stripping and cleaning like someone already told me on this thread,,,i bled the rads the other week when I first got the property and the water was absolutely black so i doubt its been serviced or looked after for a long long...

well still no further forward with this,,,thought id try and get the thing fixed before doing any major surgery,,,the gas lad tried a new sparker and gasket last week,,,now this morning fitted a new gas valve and still no joy,,,says only thing it can be now is circuit board???,,,ive got a sneaky...

baxi main or baxi duotec??? which is best???,,,someone told me the mains are less complicated and less likely to go wrong???,,,thoughts anyone???

there is a cupboard right in the centre of the upstairs with two pipes in the ceiling what go up and out the roof so I'm guessing the boiler was in there at first,,,it is now in another cupboard and the flu goes straight out the brick wall,,,its like a double barrel inside a larger tube,,,plus...

loads of advice here,,,great response,,,i think the best thing will be to replace with combi,,,I plan to rent the place out so really want something reliable and not be tortured by tennants coz the powermax keeps playing up......

well thanks for all your replies,,,i think I'm gonna just get the thing taken out and replaced with a combi,,,I have a feeling the powremax could be a bottomless money pit...

do me a favour mate if ye haven't got anything positive or helpful to say please keep off this thread,,,a property I bought a couple of years ago had an old chaffoteaux 80 in it which wouldn't fire,,,i had three so called gas engineers look at it and all said needed new boiler and didn't have a...

i wouldnt dream of fitting it myself mate,,,im just trying to think ahead and get as much information as I can,,,if ever I have a problem with anything I try to learn about and understand it best I can,,,i was reading on another site it may be the water level switch that has cut the gas valve...

can any of you gas lads who are familliar with the powermax 155 tell me what the direct replacement is for the gas valve please,,,would the sigma 848 part no po90 replace the one above in the picture???,,,here is a pic of the sigma 848...

heating engineer came today and will return with parts in a few days,,,trying electrode first then maybe a new gas valve,,,I have a question,,,can anyone tell me what the replacement gas valve would be for my range powermax 155???,,,I have downloaded the parts list for the 155x as it is the only...

what was the problem with it mate???,,,I have one with exactly the same problem......

you may be right mate,,,ive just moved house and got my dryer out of storage which is still not fixed since I posted this nearly two years ago,,,i just received the letter from hotpoint about them doing the upgrade to the machine for free......
