I have the cdi 42 and my condensation pipe froze up, just got it thawed out and is now lagged. might be worth checking.

Went on the Worcester Bosch website and had a look at the FAQ's watched a video on frozen condesation pipes here Sorted the buzzing vibrating noises; blocked/frozen condensation pipe, there is quite a long run to the gutter i'd say about 12ft and there was no lagging on the pipes so obviously...

Hi all, my recently installed boiler; less than a year old, has started making a vibrating/buzzing noise, it lasts between 3 to 10-15 sec then stops, there are no errors showing on the display. I can also hear a slight water trickle sound if I put my ear to the case. Ok History, I had...

Well I talked to a sales person on the phone, I sent them an email given by the person at expressbricks; which failed, so I sent another to the standard email address, and I got nothing, no ring back, no email nada zip blank, I don't think I'll be using them any time soon. Where has service...

You assume too much my friend and we all know what assume means! I wasn't asking for it for free, I wanted to know if I could get one or if anyone had one I could have, if money was asked for I would have paid for it, but Appliance makers seem to be a closed book (excuse the pun) when it...

I didn't need advice, else I would have asked for it I knew what the problem was, I just needed a service manual. Nevertheless I have sorted the problem out, which was to replace the bearings front, rear and seal. Can't see what all the mystery is about, after all if one wants to repair a car...

Thanks crank39 I'll look into that if I get the work done soon I'll post some images.

I'm glad I read this, I will not feel so bad about asking professionals to come and fix faulty installs. They all plead poverty but now I know I've been charged in advance I will have no quarms. A plumber is going to get a call tomorrow as I was umming and arring over whether to repair the leaky...

Thermostatic Rad Valves, how do they work? Do they sense the room temperature and regulate the heat accordingly? or are they just a flow control ie 5 lets lots of how water through 1 lets a bit through. I have a rad in the hall that doesn't have a TRV I understand this is required, but...

cheers for the replies. Not sure about bricking up to them, I want to add about 3 rows of bricks to the base so the sill is higher and also make the windows narrower by about a brick and a half, so I can turn the brick instead of cutting them if you understand me. Would you still advise...

Hi all, I need to replace two windows to the back of the house, but before I do that I need to resize the opening, I'm making both openings smaller. I need to remove the old windows - obviously! reduce the size of the opening and then block off the opening until I can order the windows and...
