Hi, We have just moved into a new house (x-repossesion) and we have a upv front door that has had the handles and lock removed and has had latches put on with pad locks. We have removed the latches now but for some reason we are unable to open the door. There is no visable srews and we...

Hi, My lights in the garage are not working. I have opened the junction box that is attached and I have just unwired one of the lights and put a plug on it with a 13a fuse so I have some light at the moment. I would like to obviously fix this. There is no switch on the wall or anything...

Hi, sorry just one more question. We accidently left the hot water tap dripping last night both up and down and we woke up and the heating had not turned on. When I looked at the boiler it was reading d for domestic hot water. When I then turned the tap off the radiators started to get warm...

Hi, Ok All resolved :) Thanks so so much for your help martin - couldn't have done it without you. I bought a new actuator and fitted it and it still did not work. I then took out the plastic unit that the valve sat in and flushed it all out. Low and behold out comes some rusted metal from...

Hi, Just out of interest is it possible to remove the actuator, power up the boiler and look to see if the motor is working. This would obviously rule out the PCB. Also should I manually be able to change the valve with my thumb or something? Would like to rule as much out as possible...

Hi Martin, Thanks I will look at getting that actuater and after that get an engineer out if it still doesn't work. Fingers crossed a new actuator will work ... Thanks for all your help and I will let you know how I get on.

Hi, Ok. Sorry to keep bombarding but I have found some interesting things and have a few more questions. As you know I have successfully changed the brass valve. Since doing that the problem still occurs. I have discovered a few bits. I noticed the radiators did start to cool down and...

Hi, Ok the brass bit has been fitted and the original actuator has gone back on. I opened the shut of valves just under the boiler and I put about 17psi preausre back into the boiler. I have given it about 5 min and have run the hot water. The water gets hot after about 5 seconds and the...

Hey, Ok, I have drained the boiler which appears to have works and I removed the div valve successfully. I have found a local place that sells the valve on its own for £36 which I am happy to buy. Please see the pics I have attached and I assume it is the little gold bit that is the...

Ok, I have got home and taken the front of the boiler off. I have found the div valve and it is gray with a red top. (Square type thing). How do I take the div valve out? I undid a torque screw underneith and water started to pour from the boiler so I very quickly did it back up. Any...

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I called a local firm and they want £105 for it. I have found these two things on ebay so am not sure which one i actually need. What would you advise...

Hi yes it is a Ideal Isar. If that was the case and the valve was passing it to CH would that mean that I would NOT have hot water because the HW seems to be working fine. If not, where do I find this valve? Any Ideas what they look like? The TRV's are Landis & Gyr and they look quite old...

Ok, The heating just seems to be on all the time. The timer says it is off and I have looked at the boiler which has either d (domestic water) and c (central heating), everytime I hear the boiler go I take a look and not once have I seen C and yet the radiators are on? Hopefully this and...

Hi Stem, Ok I have switched my heating on and on every radiator the trv is attached to the pipe that heats up second. Once the radiators get hot I will switch off timer and post back about if they stay hot or not. What are your thoughts on the trv's? Thanks k0r54

Hi, We have just purchased a property that is an x-repo and been sitting for around 2 years. We got the boiler started which is a new (2.5 years old) and it provides instant hot water (which appears to be working) and then central heating on a timer. We are currently having two issues with...
