I'm going to have a crack at it. If I need to get someone in afterwards to put right my screw up then so be it. I was unable to get the parts today, I will live with the spotty system till Moday and then get on it. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks. (y)

So again for clarity, (and remembering that I am a beginner), I need to repair/replace the Diverter Valve - Motor Unit & Assembly as outlined on page 40 (article 13.20) of the Boiler manual. http://www.baxi.co.uk/documents/7219665-01_Duotec_HE_A_ErP_Install.pdf Is that correct? Sorry if I...

Okay, done all of that. Firstly, when I approached the motor I noticed that there has been some leakage from there. A drop or so of water and evidence of corrosion. http://www.diynot.com/diy/media/img_0864_a.99253/ with the hall sensor off, I removed the motor. The neck of the motor was...

Once again, to check I'm looking at the right thing: http://www.diynot.com/diy/media/img_2162_2.99250/ 1 and 2 are alligned. On number 3, someone, presumably the installer has stripped the cross on the head. I can't get it open. When I turn it, and when it stops in the open position it...

I think I understood what you meant. Did you mean the two pipes, A and B in the following image? http://www.diynot.com/diy/media/img_2163.99249/ If so, they are both at a similar (high) temperature.

So, a few days on. That doesn't seem to have made a great deal of difference. I can turn rads on and off and push though to others but I only seem to be able to heat up two or three at a time. I've not spent a lot of time watching the boiler until recently. The gas kicks in, the temp goes up...

Okay thanks for all of that.

While we're on it, the filters that I have just cleaned seemed to be simple tubes of mesh that sit inside the pipe. Can anyone explain how a mesh around the inside wall of a pipe, seemingly in parralell with the pipe and to the water flow acts as a filter? I would have thought that the filter...

I mean this: http://www.diynot.com/diy/media/img_2162.99223/

Okay, but the inlet fittings on the back of the boiler are 15mm. Aren't they? That seems to be why it has been done at least. What am I missing?

Could you please expand on that?

Okay, ignore my last, I found it, and thanks for the lightening fast answers there. The filter is out and cleaned. It was black but in no way blocked or impeded. Popping out to get fresh washers and then rebuild. I'll let you know how things work once I run the system for a bit. Thanks again.

Right, that makes more sense. I think I see what you're getting at. Thank you. I don't have a baxi kit, instead I have a contrivance made from a flexible tap connector hose with two valves, fitted by the guy who put in the boiler. The baxi kit looks a lot neater and I might fit one of those...
