    pump fails to start

    hard to say unless your at the job. go to the fuse box and look for CH or anything close top that, if you have a mulitmeter check it. remember a neon can glow but it doesnt mean 240v is there. A pump needs that power to work. Take the tope of the pump off and smell it... if it stinks your pump...

    that is a very good price! alot cheaper than i would charge. Your friend of a friend give a price that sounds like a bit to cheap. The reason he might do it so cheap is maybe he bought a bargin off ebay or its a off the back lorrie boiler. I see people doing heating systems fully fitted for...

    Baxi 105E boiler whistling when CH is on

    nope your not reading me right. Its a common fault on a baxi boiler i thought you might know that. although the heating runs it can cause a washer on the h/w to vibrate. When the hot tap is opened the washer stops vibrating which stops the whistle. I have repaired many of these and baxi had...

    Baxi 105E boiler whistling when CH is on

    ahhhhhhhh! i was waiting for this problem to start again, i thought baxi sorted it as the baxi 105 boilers we fit are now not doing that The noise is not lime scale or anything! it is infact a small black washer. under your boiler you have chrome fittings. locate the h/w one and the...

    Asbestos advice

    masona i would put my life on it its asbestos. why not take a small sample. call a chemist out, look under asbestos in the yellow pages for an analyst. ask him to come and do a sample. if its asbestos it wont cost that much to remove. it its not then your fine to tear it down.

    No hot water, but CH works!!!

    your radiator problem could be sludge. Your boiler however can be many things... i cant seem to re-call that model number but on standard combi boilers like vokera 80sp and others, its always the micro switch or diapram. I have even found the arm to be stiff. But as for your boiler i cant...

    Air

    the potteron kingfisher was first realesed around 8 years ago and my company were issued a kingfisher to install as a test boiler to replace the thorn. Unless your talking about the balanced flue then in that case your right. The rs came out about 8 years back and i have been fitting them for 8...

    Steam in expansion pipe CHeating!

    Steam in expansion pipe CHeating!

    I dont see how the wiring can be an issue. It will already be wired back to the boiler. I really think you should try the stat thats ALL it can be i have worled on these for years

    Steam in expansion pipe CHeating!

    It sounds like air. try pulling stat and wait for a splatter in the head tank. The pipes will get hot so watch it. The pump overrun would sometimes cause it but unlike the apollo it sounds like a basic air lock. Also the pump is supposed to run after the boiler shuts off but are you 100% sure...

    flames escaping

    thats crazy. it should have been swicthed off long ago. flames should never be that condition and never even come close to escaping from a boiler. If its under poss pressure fumes WILL be escaping its just a question of how much damage has been donw. You cant smell CO2 but you will still get a...

    this was just a replacement boiler. I dont think customers will folk out an extra £900 to convert to fully pumped. I will swap the pump over and put it on the flow. To be honest i always fit pumps on the return on kingfishers and profiles and never get any problems, however i dodnt fit this...
