sorry Dan is this the problem? If so can you explain parts/remedies. Thanks Mark

Hi all - I have got to go to a toilet as it is leaking into the bowl - the lady says that the water level is way below the central tube that gets pused by the buttons - any ideas?

Problem turned out to be stretched throttle cable in handle. It was not tight enough to hold throttle on a bit so it would start.

I did change the idle screw a number of times to try to get it to work. The air filter is grotty but you can see light through it well. Thanks for reply - any further thoughts appreciated.

Hi all - I have a Ryobi chainsaw which will start but only run for a couple of seconds. The only adjustable part I can see is an idle screw - not sure where this should be. Plug looks clean, fuel correct ratio. Any thoughts?

As the shower does not work at all I wonder if the solenoid valve could need replacing - about £25 for part.

When I went to this boiler it was very late in the day and I was not in a position to start to change the photocell/coil etc to try to rectify the problem that is why I thought the forum would be a good idea to see if anyone else had seen the same symptoms. I think I will replace the coil, clean...

Thanks chr15 - presumably if this is the case the coil has started to break down and closing when it shouldn't.

Thinking back there was a click shorty before the lockout.

Hi there, thanks for replies - the burners fires again when reset button is pressed, thought I would mention the phial as it is in a different place in my boiler. Could the phial detect heat from the red expansion vessel and lockout for safety? Any further thoughts? Cheers. :?

Have just been to a Worcester 20/25 which ran fine and then locked out after about 5/6 minutes. There is a phial in front of the red expansion vessel and on my boiler which is the same the phial is under the expansion vessel. Any thoughts? Regards.

Hi all, I have just drained about 2 buckets out of the drain point on the pressure gauge on a Worcester 12/14 oil boiler in order to replace a faulty air release valve. My question is what percentage of the total heating system water was this. The house is a new 3 bed semi with 7/8 radiators...

I have been to a 12/14 Worcester heatslave combi where the radiators are heating with heating off and h/w on - I assume this is the diverter valve - the lever on the side of the actuator rises when h/w is called for but stays at the bottom when heating is called for - Is the actuator operating...

Thanks for replies - much appreciated. The white plastic lever on the side of the actuator lifts when hot water is called for but stays at the bottom when heating called for - I think this means that the actuator is working properly (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong) so if the...

Thanks for reply - it could be as I do not know when it was last serviced - could maybe do with setting up properly. As you say why would this cause lockout. Cheers

I have just been to quite an old trianco oil boiler in an old house which has been altered extended etc; the circulating pump is next to the boiler. The owner said that after the boiler had been on for a while there would be a bang from the pipework which he thought came from the vicinity of the...

Is this due to the diverter valve stuck in the central position - will trying to free off with the actuator solve this - even if just temporarily? PS Worcester 12/14 oil boiler.

I am new to this so you may be better to get more experienced replies. However you could try the following - take off the fan guard off and gently turn the fan to check for a sticky point - this can then simply be a worn coupling between the oil pump and motor.

Hi all - have recently gone to an oil Worcester 12/14 which works fine but after a couple of minutes sharts to make a rattling noise which gradually gets worse. Is this kettling - I have never heard kettling before - if it is what is the solution. Also an upstairs radiator does not get hot...

Hello all, 1) I went to a Worcester 12/14 yesterday which was leaking oil from the oil pressure adjustment point - can this leak be stopped - if so how? 2) Another question - if someone services a boiler and then the boiler develops a fault - how long after the service would any of you say...
