Just to update the story. Had a plummer around and he replaced the limefighter but after turning on the water supply few minitues later, it started to leak so called him again and came round the next to tighten the bolt. That only lasted for a day or two and now started to leak again from...

Thanks for the reply. Justcut at the back of kitchin cubboard and found it's 'Liff Limefighter inline'. I preseme I don't have to call a Gas engineer to replace that, as a plumber can do that, although it's fittned to cobmi-boiler pipes. It's about 9 years old.

You're right, I'm a leaseholder.

He didn't charge me, as he works for the council contractor, he just came to see where the leak was from.

He only comes out for emergecy plumbing, as he was called by downstairs neighbour. As this to do with gas, he is not qualified to touch or repair it. He just identified where the leak was coming from. Now I have to find someone to replace it.

Good evening all, Just had a emergency plumber to investigate a water leak and found that our combi-boiler scale inhibitor was leaking at the bolt area. The combi-boiler is about 9 years old. We suspect the leak could have been going on for several weeks without us noticing, only emergred as...

Thanks for the reply. They don't have suspended ceiling. The first plumber did not find the leak, he assumed its comming from 'above'. Even when he came to inspect our flat and checked our combi boiler pipes, he said it was wet and damp, but this was contradicted by their more experianced...

Have a combi boiler in my flat. For the last year or two, have been experiencing loud clicking noise in our bedroom from our radiator, which is worst affected. It’s worse when you start the heating for the first hour or so. The pipes are exposed, so not covered by floor boards. Is there a...

That could be the reason for neighbour below my flat. They had a small bubble in the ceiling, in the kitchen with a condense combi-boiler near it. When the plumber popped the bubble only a teaspoon of water fell. The plumber mentioned it could only come from resident above. But from what...

yes, I do have a electric shower over the bath tub. I'll keep an eye on that.

yes, the floor is concrete.

Thanks for your reply. No, I did not sign anything, nor was asked.

Wonder if you guys could help me to unravel a mystery with water bubble appearing in my neighbour’s flat who lives directly below me. Few days ago, the housing association called to me urgently to say that the resident below me has water bubble in his kitchen ceiling and minute amount of...

Just had a service done after 3 years gap, but after a day, the lockout lights appears and then had to turn the reset knob to make it run. Is there anything other than the 'heat exhanger' attributed to this fault. I wondered if anything simple or least expensive might be contributing to this...

Thanks for your reply. Just got a new one but the same make as the last one. It's called 'Selector IC' or something along that line, as the logo is hard to read. After I inserted the new one, it came back to life. Next time, when it gives me trouble I know which make to go for.

Thanks. Looks like a temp fix. After switching off, and on again, it struggles to light up for first few seconds, before light up. I only bought the current starter about 5/6 weeks ago.

It worked! it started to blink and then had reverted back to glowing both edges, then twisting the starter anti-clockwise felt it locked onto something and lit up the whole tube. I hope it's fixed. Many thanks for your help, we had to use our lamp shade in the kitchen to eat. Don't know...

It's about 9 years old. Yes, it's seems to be designed for the slimer tubes. I'll try to get another starter tommorrow.

Right, I got the specs. On the starter it says 4-80W / 220-250v The tube is about 5 feet in length is rated as 'F58 T8/ 3300K' Hope it helps Thanks. :)
