Hi, when I was working with an older fella, we had a few jobs where the pcb was blown. He changed the pcb, switched boiler on and bang, it blew again straight away. On this particular job, he went through about 6 pcb's before he found the actual fault.........the lead going from the pcb to...

Had a breakdown just now, boiler lights up, stays alight for about 5 seconds and then flame goes out. The whole time its alights, its sparking, so I think its got to be the Flame Sensor electrode or the pcb. Trouble is, I didnt know how to elimintate either one so have gone for the electrode...

I did one for the first time the other week. Its not too bad, hardest part is trying to get it out from under the expansion vessel, and same with putting the new one in. I think its only held in by 2 screws btw, it is definitely the ch assembly thats the problem, as the I can see the dhw...

Had a job friday where the spidle on the pressure diffential assembly was permanently out, even without the pump running, what would cause this? Thanks

Are there any decent online companies to use for spares? If not, how about a company you can deal with over the phone? I currently use HRPC but find that they are useless, need to find a new supplier Thanks

But in general I mean, how would you eliminate the fan being at fault and not the aps? As it happens, when I took the old fan off, all the inside was burnt out where the air inlet for the aps connects, and was stopping airflow to the aps. Its just that if that was me on that job as a...

Had a job today for work to change a fan on a vaillant (somebody else had booked the job up) I got there, and the fan was running fine, but wouldnt go to ignition. I blew on the air pressure switch and it then went to ignition. I thought it must be the air pressure switch, but as it was a...

Like I said, I havent got the experience and Id never do anything that would endanger anyone. Just because I dont know what size caps / plugs go into what doesnt mean I dont know whats safe and what isnt. I havent had the experience of having to cap appliances off before, thats why i thought id...

That was with appliances on With appliances off there wasnt a drop I thought the only time you wasnt allowed a drop was when it was a new installation or when there was a smell of gas?

After 2 hours, I manged to find and repair 4 leaks 1 was on the boiler just before the gas valve another was on the connection to the hob Last one was on the supply to gas fire. It went into concrete so I capped it as low as I could. Left it safe, was only dropping 0.5 mb in 2 minutes...

At last, a sensible answer!!!! Yeah thats what I was worried about, I didnt know if you good practise to cut into pipes to cut off things like back and wall hung hung boilers etc

Erm no

Where are you based? EDIT: Just seen.......forget it!

Where can I get one of those from? Do they a do a fast track one?

Have you got any courses you can recommend? I dont care how far I have to travel. Ideally I'd like to not only learn about the new condensing boilers but also the older type (baxi solo's, vaillants, glowworm compacts. puma's, netaheats, profiles, suprimas etc)

Unfortunately theres not a lot I can do about that, I dont make the rules. I know Ive still got tons to learn, but I feel im going the right way about it. Im taking things slow and trying to learn as much as I can from those around me I agree though, I dont know how they can justify giving...

Got 2 cd's with 1500 appliances on for £10 What else do you suggest?

Because I asked for some days off to go on them and they said they'd sort it for me. Just a bit worried that some of these training days are more of a sales pitch!!

Cool, will see where I can get one of those from Thanks matey

Again, until Ive earnt YOUR respect, doesnt give you the right to mock me Enough of this now, thanks for the help guys
