Thanks for you reply - I'll take a look this evening - although I'll probably have to get a plumber out! Anyone have the number of a reputable plumber in Southend on Sea, Essex area??

Thank Christ for that!

Yeah, sorry Agile, your advice was fine! - I was fired up by Bamber gaspipe's comments. I'm not a plumber trade - far from it (but if you ever need to be stitched together after an accident - see me!) and I have replaced a diverter valve with the help of members of this forum like yourself...

Wow, I'm amazed at the hostility on this forum. Here I am, an ordinary Joe trying to fix a small problem! Agile - I would like that too, but it's a fact of life that all plumbers aren't like that! My old next door neighbour was a plumber and he was the biggest rip-off merchant around; he'd...

Yes I know, this has been done to death, but I refer to :http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24971&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= specifically Corgigazza's reply/fix: how simple is this? Can I do it myself or do I need..(Edited because it offended Bamber gaspipe's...

Sorry to bother with a silly question! Just moved into a house with combi-boiler (never seen one before!). Nice to have hot water all time and CH works a treat. Now winter is about to set in, I was wondering what is the most efficient use of the boiler for CH? Currently it is timed...

thanks to everyone who helped on this - I'm sure this has been a reoccurring problem for lots of people. Well, I've managed to fix it without changing the head! I WD-40'd the spindle and gave it a few back & forth twists - the CH now works!!! (and it came on with the timer this am -...

Thank you for reply. I'm a novice when it comes to plumbing (if you want an MRI scan, I'm your man - but that's another story!!!), so please excuse me for all my questions. Is the head "universal" or do I need a specific one tailored for my brand of valve? Also is there a website...

Um... It's a Tower (manufacturer) 3 port motorised valve. Is it possible to take the head off to check for the vavle mechanics without having to drain the system down?

1st off - thanks very much for the help already provided. BUT - I'm still having problems with my CH. Quick recap.... I previously posted stating that I had HW but no CH. It was helpfully suggested that I remove motor on 3 port valve and "wiggle" the spindle. This I did and yes...

Thanks - tried it, but "unavailable"!!!! Any other ideas??

following on from an earlier post of mine, I've got a problem with my central heating. The hot water works lovely and I've noticed a few posts below with the same problem & taken note of the solutions. Now, I turn on the central heating and it seems to come on. Then there is a "Click" sound...

Hi, Mandate, Sorry to be a pain - but before I go out and spend money, yet another question! I said yesterday that i got the CH working again on the advice given in this forum - I was only partially correct! The CH does not work again!! Now what happens is this: I turn on the CH and...

Looks like you've got yourself £10, Mandate!! Stiff spindle - gave it a good pumping (cripes...sounds like a bad Carry On.. film!). Job done! CH now works a treat. Thanks everyone for replies - I now have a happy & warm wife, 4yr old boy and 6mth old twins! Bliss - I'm off down pub!

Hello There... I'm very new to this board, I only found it today! I'm also a novice when it comes to plumbing / CH, so please by gentle!! I hope someone can help me with my problem.(I've searched the site, but cannot find a solution) My house has a boiler that serves both HW and...
