cheers jim, many thanks. :)

Hi, Went to fit a new stormguard internal/external letterplate (keep out those draughts!) and found that the hole is too small. What would be the best way of opening this up? Its a wooden door approx 2" thick. Sleeve is about 2" too long each side.

oh dear like what? How about changing all the rads? System seems to work ok with one exception; The bottom MIDDLE of some rads take a very long while to heat up to the same temperature as the top of the rads. This is how I discovered the leaking rads, by adjusting the what I thought were...

cheers :oops:

sorry i misread or understood your answer/s. How should the plumbing be then going to the radiator? In fairness you get what you ask for; We asked for - condensing combi, new 22m gas pipe, remove existing pipework to headers, onto existing heating system. The engineer in my opinion did a...

it is a combi (i thought the ecotec pro28 might have given that one away) so no F&E. The system was cleaned with sentinal100 which I think is the yellowish colour. The black stuff though in my opinion is either oil or similar from the valve as it is leaking so somethig has broken. When the...

ok cool, ta

Are they all the same, or are there any to be avoided? Anything worth noting such as annodised, paint finish in terms of energy release? Ta

2 questions in one sorry. Had our boiler replaced with an ecotec pro28 (not too happy with it - but a different story - try serching on vaillant to see my posts on noisy boiler) Anywho.... today I was adjusting some rad valves. One is the nearest to the boiler. I turned off the flow valve...

cheers for replies, I don't think the drill will work to unscrew it as there is nothing for the teeth to grip.

i have an old rad valve which needs tightening as its leaking. it has a cap which comes off and a screw underneath. this screw has worn out and thus will not turn, how can i get it off? drill?

surely selling this stuff advertised as saving energy is ilegal then

. stop the flaming bitchin and answer the mans question. Dogs!

The shower "knob" on my generic argos bath mixer taps never goes down when the taps are turned off. Why is this?

Have had no probs with this product. Installed in the bathroom and still shiny new a year on.

rob it was you who installed it. Did you Pi$$ in my tank? Thankfully its a combi system so no tanks! :D

Hi, Bled a few rads yest and the water was yellow. The system was introduced with sentinel 100 a year ago. Combi system. Is this normal?

similar problem, wher the bleedin hec do you purchase one of these water hammer arrestors? My ggogle search ended me up here.

I was talking about the variflush valve, my apologies

my torbeck doesn't seem to give a small flush, and I had to get a replacement bottom part. I used a torbeck to replace the fluidmaster as the flapper had shrunk and was letting water out. (don't use bleach in the cistern!) I wish I'd bought a fluidmaster again now as the torbeck still drips.
