    Gloworm Ultracom 30cxi - 4 pumps in 2 years?

    Talk to the BG engineer about fitting a Magnatech Filter on the return pipe. this should filter out anything in the water that is causing the problem. It should also prevent BG from deciding not to cover it. Rather than you ordering a pump online ask the BG engineer to get you one. He...

    potterton performa 28

    Make sure that the pump is vented of air and that the auto air vent is open. Sounds like the heat cannot get away from the boiler due to poor circulation. Often the original fault is caused by a blocked plate heat exchanger on a performer. The crap in the system blocking the H/Ex could also...

    expansion foam aroud flue terminal

    The gas given off by the foam as it sets/dries out is flammable. As the boiler came on it sucked the fumes into the boiler and boom. Boiler was wrecked and so was the engineer standing in front of it. It was in a loft and he was lucky not to go through the ceiling. BG engineer was only...

    Ignition clicks on windy days

    I suggest you get a RGI to look at this. Wind should not blow into a boiler with any considerable force if the boiler is a room sealed boiler such as yours. The fact that it is suggest that maybe the boiler may not be sealed to the room and that the wind is blowing through the boiler. I...

    Ball Floats

    If you turn the float towards the valve the water level will be lower. Otherwise just bend the arm. Will do no harm.

    Ideal classic FF50 pilot light not coming on, all rest OK?

    Does the boiler make any sound? Can you hear the fan turning? You really need to check that the boiler is getting 240v on the switch live terminal. For this you will need and know how to use a multimeter. Post back with what the boiler does when you switch it on. Get the controls...

    Potterton Suprima Repair or Replace

    Keep the boiler. I would not jump straight to changing the PCB. You describe it locking out on ignition. I would check the ignition electrode, the gas pressures etc before even thinking about changing the PCB. The 'engineer' seems to be more of an installer The money you would spend...

    Does this flue look normal?

    I would get this checked by a Gas Safe Engineer as soon as possible and advise that you do not use that appliance until then. Could just be some water that has its way in or moisture condensing in the flue. Could also be leaking POC's/Fumes into the loft space. Personally I check the...

    Citroen Berlingo

    My 'Y' registered Berlingo Multispace has an intermittent fault light. The warning lamp for brakes lights up occasionally with a beep sound. This seems to occur when the engine is first started. The lamp will then go out. Sometimes the light and sound will occur after I have applied the...

    OSO 20 RI Unvented Cylinder

    Don't know a great deal about unvented. But aren't the temp/pressure relief valves set at +90 degrees. Is it actually that hot?? That has always made me think that most of the time it is the pressure that causes the fault. I am as much asking a question as trying to assist

    Length of time to heat up water?? How to save money on gas

    In the summer I don't even time mine to come on in the the afternoon. We all shower in the morning. It is timed to come on 1/2 hr before we get up, just 1.5 hr in total. Unvented cylinders are very well insulated. We still have hot water at 10pm. If we do use it up I just advance it...
