Don't do it - the industry despite what the government say is awash with too many people at the moment. Whether this is because of the Poles or other reasons I don't know. If you still plan on going ahead - do not pay any money for a course until you get a Work Placement with a RGI as you...

Not trying to put you off BUT- I did 3 weeks of this in Portsmouth on £17.50 a meter and more if it was out of hours. The snag was are the people always going to be in? No Will the meters all be in the same street, block of flats etc? Depends on how well in with the central office staff...

I would suggest that the problem isn't your donut washer but is at the base of the siphon, check that it was correctly fitted and isn't catching on the screw/metal washer/cone rubber washer that connects the cistern to the pan, this vould casue the siphon seal to leak .

Yes it is ok, whether it is better to fit copper depends on taste outlook or where the pipe is coming from.

I also don't blame the immigrants. Its all a conspiracy by those in power(who have never had an honest job in their lives) to keep the costs of installing their and their cronies plush new bathrooms kitchens etc down. Thats why they are so obsessed with every kid going to university doing a BSc...

For the cost of a new basin is it really worth however many hours you have spent and are going to spend while maybe eventually breaking the basin anyway? Either get a new one or get a proper basin wrench.

Get yourself over to grc.com and buy a copy of Spinrite.....this utility fixes most harddrives and can be used once a month to avoid having fatal problems crop up. Really is good and works in most cases.

thanks for the replies guys, for what it will cost me for the 8 week run its worth a go, I got a mate who does removals and handyman stuff and gets a lot of work from it. I know a few other gas guys in the area who don't advertise in though, so I'll see.

I'll be trying it next week for 8 week run. Just wondering what it costs you guys for particular sized adverts etc?

Whats the ignore faciltity?

Tell him not to consider doing this course unless he lines himself up with a work placement first.

Yes you have to have time control. No boilers can be bought with a timer ...............me thinks he was telling porkies!

Yes, it is. At last if you reassemble the boiler you will have heating. Hot water can be obtained from other sources, you can survuve a few days without it direct from the boiler. Its one reason I always have an electric shower installed as well.

When that corgi bloke said it would be too hard he meant HE couldn't be arsed! :lol Although I would seriously weigh up the costs involved involved if you are gonna go the whole hog and get a 3 port valve, roomstat, cylinder stat and associated wiring and wiring centre - could be a lot of...

Electically driven trc actuator -tell me where to get one of these please. Or your not talking about the honeywell rf trvs are you?

No - get a rgi in. A temp sensor fault, which one? Is it in fact a temp sensor fault? Could be other things. With the weather forecasts for the next few days I would get a corgi guy into do it tommorrow- its better than freezing to death

I know this is down to the installer but condensate discharge pipe can cause untold probs depending on where in loft boiler is sited. I have seen some real S****y looking installations on the outside where condensate pipe comes down, expanding foam mess everyhere ............in fact thinking...

Not having done it before £91 a month sounds a lot to me but I'd appreciate getting some idea what everone else pays. Thanks Jefoss

Thanks for replies. I'll think I'll just go for getting my van signed up for now and leave the yellow pages for now unless they offer a special deal
