Thanks j&K I am a big fan of metabo - after sales second to none,so I'll be checking them out. Don't do any site work these days thank heavens,too many cold,muddy,dark Januaries!

Thanks everyone! Just what I needed,only concern with a Henry is if it gets a bit of damp as I'm hoovering up,not a puddle or anything,but you know how it is sometimes!

As above! My old Earlex recently gave up the ghost after long and hard service,needed a replacement straight away so got a Titan (the big version) from Screwfix,I'm not really impressed with the quality,plenty of power,but a very flimsy hose for trade use,and the filter looks like a pasper...

hi John,don't usually post on here,there will be many others with info I'm sure,there are several strings to your question,the mould,which is almost inevitable after a period of time somewhere in a wet area may be lessened by a good extractor fan. I have tried many mould proof grouts over the...

Thanks Tony.Hoping it's settled a bit by tomorrow.Picked up some water detecting paste to check how much is in there- I suspect a lot,as it has never been a problem before. Thanks Awowen-looked really horrible- like bad draught ale from the bottom of the keg!Sure hope it settles,nothing changed...

Really in trouble.Just had 1500 L of oil delivered.Boiler not used during summer,old metal tank,drained off oil looks cloudy-main question really is the oil recoverable,will it settle,or have i just lost £800 plus all the other attendant costs.Any help appreciated.Already cleaned filter/pump...

Has anyone used a Salamander negative head kit (RCMP 3) on a non salamander pump? May have slipped up!

I have a wetroom to plumb and tile on a solid floor new build. Although a fairly experienced tiler,this a first for me. There look to be several ways of doing it,and I would like some advice please. Do I need a tiling board on floor and walls-the waterproof boards look the best? If...

Thanks-going to do another test run on monday- crossed fingers it is not a scaled-up boiler-replacement is not an easy,or cheap option!

Hope someone here can help. I have been asked to sort out the poor performance of an elderley Parkray (G model I believe).It is in a rented property,the landlord assures me it was working fine last winter,but now heats only the hot water-the rads getting only tepid after a long period. I...

Thanks to you both for the information,just what I was looking for!

Thanks to you both for the information,just what I was looking for!

I have been setting up my boiler (ancient Danesmoor 20/25) using a flue gas analyser ( I should say straight away I am an old fashioned mechanical technician and not an oil engineer). Tha main reason I hired the analyser was to check a relations condensing oil boiler (Grandee) which was sooting...

Thanks John-thats really helpful.The burner is an Electro oil Bentone AB ( as marked on the body of the burner)I can't find much info anywhere on this,so I can use your settings.cheers.

Sorry Terry-link doesn't work for me-worcester don't seem to offer old installation manuals,just the user manuals.Thanks anyway.

many thanks oilhead.Appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. .75 in the burner at the moment-running at 100 psi.no smoke. The manufacturers no longer list the settings-only a users manual. This set up obviously works-I need about 50000 btu's-which presumably i have as the boiler can satisfy the demand,I can borrow a flue gas...

I need to replace the pump on my ancient worcester danesmoor (bentone burner) -I can't find any info on nozzles/pressure/co etc-does anyone have these settings please. Boiler was installed late 80's. I have a gauge/manifold and smoke pump,but will need to get hold of fga as well. Thanks.

Thanks for that-why did I not look in settings? Cheers.

This must be fairly easy,can't see it though-help please! Thanks.
