Hi tony. it seemed to be working fine before changing the 2 port valve. I thought that the bypass could be left off if there is no TRV valve on the room in which the thermostat is located? Not looked at the iolation valve... will look tonight

Hi tony, can't see one on my system. It is imperative to have one?

Hi, yes, bled the pump and it does turn freely. It might not be the pump at all but at least that will be one less variable to check. and worth a punt for £80. The error has slightly changed as well. I now can't get more than 60 seconds heat or hot water through the system before s.53 error appears.

hi, after some digging about i managed to find the bleed value adjacent to the HW cylinder. Bled it no with difference. I did notice that the pump was pretty hot. I have ordered a replacement. Will let you know how it goes after fitting it. regards BS.

yeah, did a search and there seems to be a lot of info out there! i am 'sure' that there is an air lock in the hw loop. any ideas on how i can bleed it? I can see no bleed valve in the system.

Hello, Hope someone can point me in the right direction with problems with my boiler. First the system; Boiler valiant Ecotec 428 System: open vented ‘S’ plan Number of radiators: 16 (all doubles) 15mm downstairs, microbore upstairs Recent History: I did a recent drain down and 2 port valve...

i feel your pain. :( . had a major prob last year when i got a dog. the incumbent seagulls went mental. dive bombing me, my wife dog and kids. B*stards defecated on me deliberately when walking home. My roof is too big for spikes. reverted to the old high speed lead through the eye socket...

I was in the same situ last year. What makes you think you need a new roof? unless over 25% have slipped or it has nail sickness I would stick with it. Scottish slate is surprisingly long lasting and are appropriate for your house. I ended up replacing the flashings and valleys. should be good...

I doubt that the throat is to blame. I have an original 1890's insert and it can on occasion push smoke into the room. the problem is that you have a large column of cold air that you need to push up and away through the chimney before the draw starts to work properly. You need to get some heat...

I did thanks very much. now I need help on this. are you willing to help or are you some type of cyber policeman?

Hi, I need some advice. I am looking to install a shower in a basement flat. Currently there is only a toilet and sink in the ensuite and I will be extending this with a stud wall to include a shower. The problem I have is that current toilet waste pipe is only partially exposed. The majority of...

dunno what a 'cleat' is but I used these on my lath ceiling... no problems http://www.screwfix.com/p/rawlplug-spring-toggle-m5-x-50mm-pack-of-20/20385?cm_mmc=GoogleBase-_-Datafeed-_-Screws%20Nails%20and%20Fixings-_-Rawlplug%20Spring%20Toggle%20M5%20x%2050mm%20Pack%20of%2020

Gents. More info..... The ceiling is constructed as a frame supported off the walls only. There is nosupport from above. The whole lot sits on a large picture rail which (i presume) is attached firmly to the internal walls. The whole frame is nailed/screwed together and the glass is puttied...

Literally! I live in a late Victorian villa where the roof of the building has a cupola lighting up the centre of the house. Sometime (probably in the 1950’s) a previous owner had a false ceiling installed, no doubt to save heat. I am looking to replace the Cupola with a modern double glazed...

i watched it. I think that the sign above the halal butchers was in very bad taste....

My parents live in a top floor tenement flat in Glasgow the roof has leaked on and off ever since they lived there (about 20 years) and they have has various people up to fix slipped tiles etc. About a year ago it was reroofed. During the last big storm the dreaded drips started again. They...

theuy offered me 80% withough even asking and said that they'd come down more :shock:

High speed lead... it's the only way. Otherwise you just give someone else the problem. I was driven to distraction last spring after being dive bombed and shat on numerous times while walking the dog.

We are in the process of getting our kitchen from Howdens. No problem opening a trade account as we told them the kitchen was for a holiday let (true). They came round, measured advised, and produced a 3D CAD drawing. The quote they gave use said that we were getting an 80% discount straight off...
