Amazing what you have done, way above my head. I have now realised I am just one of those trained monkeys fixing boilers :lol:

Well spotted :lol:

Don't go to Spain

Siphon with a hose pipe, just prime the hose with water from a tap.

No

That photo is a Drayton mid position valve. I would wire a pipe stat into the system as instructed by previous poster.

if its totally dead then it will probably be pcb.

yes

It's a shame you doubted your plumbers diagnosis.

what did you take the photo with, a potato? But it does look like a water main as mentioned above.

Without telling us the make of the taps you are wasting your time. It would be the same if I said is £50 a good price for a watch......It depends on the make of the watch, Rolex or Argos. Give the guys on here something to work with. ****s sake.

Jesus! it's like pulling teeth. £150 is excessive for a set of cheap and nasty taps, but it's "normal" for quality taps.

Instead of doubting your plumbers prices and moaning about it on here, why didnt you ask him for £60 taps and a £50 bath panel. Give him a budget to work to!

Sounds like pcb.

If all else fails......have a go yourself. What could possibly go wrong? :shock:

90 minutes minimum?? :D

He's probably cheap because she said he is just starting out self employed. I don't think £50 for an hours work is that bad. If he is starting out he may be looking for any work possible.

I'm still in favour for the pub idea.

It's not a danger to use it, but it won't do it any good. You should be ok to use it for hot water but if you do use the heating then run it at a lower temperature, that should reduce the amount of expansion. I would only do this if you really need it until you get the engineer back.

So you haven't decided wether to sell or not, or are you having any intention to sell or just looking for other problems. Taking into consideration that you have a 23 year old back boiler if you don't sell soon you will be replacing the boiler anyway. And most people who move in will rip it out.
