Probably needs a new donut. Really cheap and easy to do.

You probably won't find too many people on this forum who would recommend that you get this particular boiler fixed. Try googling it and see what you find with regard to safety. Anyway, 1st things first. Playing with the pump will have a purely coincidental effect on the boiler starting and...

He must notify Corgi of the installation, who will then write to you. Corgi will also notify buildings control. They may want to randomly inspect the work. The gas safety certificate is not a requirement for any installation.

Travis Perkins used to sell these but I'm 100% certain that they didn't build them. Anyone know what the Icon combis really were/are? Cheers

It's not a combination boiler, it's just a water heater in the same way that a system boiler or a kettle is. So, you will need all of the components of a conventional setup e.g. hot water cylinder, motorised valve, twin channel programmer etc. The maximum output is 12kW which is a bit weedy...

Thanks all :)

Can someone point me in the right direction for a definitive article regarding the regs concerning the construction of soakaways for steamer condensates? I think I'm right (but wouldn't put any money on it) in that you need 600mm of 100mm appropriately drilled plastic with a further 400mm...

Being a coward, I run a mile from them :D

Boiler banging noises are normally caused by lack of water in the system or poor circulation of water in the system. Poor circulation could be due to failing pump or maybe excessive build-up of mineral deposits on the boilers heat exchanger. Without seeing or hearing the system it is difficult...

You could always add a hot water cylinder, heated by the combi and supplying the shower and bath. If you wanted to, you could then fit a pump to this.

Just connect your HW live from your programmer to your new cylinder stat and use the new switched live to fire the boiler.

Hi doitall, I was told on my part L course that this was the case - I was dubious myself - nothing to do with corgi though. Maybe I got it wrong and it only applies to boiler swaps?

I'm betting that you have a gravity HW and pumped CH system on your netaheat, so no motorised valves or proper controls at all. If this is the case you would be better off converting to fully pumped, in fact if someone comes in to do some work to your system it is illegal for them not to convert...

Do you have a thermostat on your hot water cylinder? if not then fit one and problem solved.

The problem is that your pressure relief valve is open. If you're losing water that fast it sounds like it's fully open. Did anyone tell you to open this as a method of draining the system before removing the rad? if so this was bad advice. You can always try closing it but it's likely that...

Very similar to the UK as luck would have it :)

If its cutting out due to overheating in both central heating and hot water modes then it is likely that your primary heat exchange is partially blocked. This is almost always caused by the system not being flushed prior to installation or not being protected afterwards. A powerflush or any...

If the boiler fired at all then the motorised valve and at least the cylinder thermostat are probably fine. I would be checking the pump at this point. If it's not running the boiler will quickly overheat and shut down. If you do a search on this forum there is loads of advice on how to...

No, the roofer would not install the flue, he would cut through the roof. In any event I would be there and take responsibility for the entire installation. As an aside I might have passed my CCN1 and the majority of the elements but that doesn't mean that I am prepared to possibly damage...
