Many BG engineers are confused about the reasons behind the strike. The guys who have been around a while will stick together and strike but I think many of the younger guys will not bother. The bullying management tactics that the union talk of are simply because the management skills...

...or a leak on the zone valve, maybe.

I agree with Paul. You would get a quote from me also. I would cover a leak or a blockage on a fixed price repairs. Not a chance

Are the flow and return pipes between the boiler and the valves correct for the size of the Suprima. Anything over a 70 requires 28mm pipework I believe. Otherwise definitely suspect the pump.

Loads of info here and detailed fault finding Just google Gledhill Boilermate 2 and look at the PDF's on Gledhill's site...

When to turn on the hot tap do you get a slug of hot water which then goes cold? If so then the it could be the primary pump or the store not full of water. I had an occasion where the feed to the store was blocked and so the coil wasn't actually being heated. I have seen many of the...

That should get you some heating but it will need repairing. Call some friends and ask them for reliable heating engineers. Yours is a very simple job of replacing the head of the honeywell 3 port valve. Moving it to manual will open the valve and all the time the hot water cylinder is...

Hi Sarah, It does not sound like there is anything major wrong. Difficult to diagnose without further info. I suspect there is a problem with a Heating valve. As you have said you have hot water so there is nothing wrong with the boiler. Have a look at the FAQ section 10 and 17. Need...

This works 99% of the time. I think you'll find that the DV is seized in HW position and won't open to Htg, hence boiler fires and then overheats Drain system, water off, power off Undo connection on top and to left of the front of the DV. With a small allen key locate the grub screw...

Can anyone shed any light on this??? I have a Humax freesat box linked via HDMI to a Sony Bravia TV. When watching the FA Cup game earlier today (Reading v Liverpool) the audio delay was non existent when watching ITV but when I swapped to ITV HD the audio delay was about 4/5 seconds!! The...

If I remember rightly its the diagram that Keston supply that is wrong. Call the tech help line and they will explain which of the 2 diagrams to follow. Although there boilers are crap the tech help they supply is very good. Probably need to wait till Tuesday though. They will talk you...

If the fan packs up call BG again and they will return under the original agreement. It is not just the part that has a guarantee. I would have changed the fan seeing as you were not on contract but that's me, a lot of the guys are under pressure to fix first time, on the day.

On the new PCB's the circuits etc are enclosed in a grey plastic box. I you can see the resistors, circuits etc then I suggest you have an old style board. If it only happens on HW then it suggests a circulation issue. The heat is not dissipated on the small HW circuit and as such...

The force of a bucket of water poured from as high above the toilet as you can unblocks most toilets. Always works for me Other wise B&Q sell a very good pump for the purpose

Not sure if you can buy them?? Try a Boiler & Heating Spares company in maybe the yellow pages/thompson. There are 2 sizes I think you need the small one. You could try Worcester they may just pop one in the post?? They will certainly be able to recommend a supplier

The CF of the CFL 80 suggests this is an open-flued model and as such requires correct ventilation for safe operation. If the boiler is in a compartment then it requires the vents an high and low level. Best if these vents go directly outside, if not then the room that the compartment is in...

A balanced flue will exit through the wall directly behind or to the side of the boiler and terminate on the wall outside, ventilation, though required if the boiler is in a compartment is not a reason to issue an At Risk notice about ventilation. Conventional Flue boiler will have a 4/5...

Depending upon which potterton MF it is, it will require correct ventilation. If is an open flued model then it requires the ventilation for it safe operation. If BG have left an AR notice then that would suggest it is an Open Flued model. Open Flued Potterton MF's do not follow the...
