Hi me again. According to the Dixons website the required distance is 760mm. According to a man in Comet it is 750mm. According to another man in Comet ( not an employee) this relates to distance from combustible surfaces. We estimate a clearance of 710mm to 750mm depending on selection of...

It's o.k. I've found the answer on another web site.

A neighbour has an existing (faulty) gas cooker in an alcove which must have housed some sort of range cooker at some time. A guy who come to look at the cooker said that if she wanted a new one, he did not think it would be able to go in the same place, although he did not have the correct...

thanks for the prompt replies chaps. will bell them on the morrow.

visited a lady friend this evening and found that her gas fire had gone out but there was still gas coming out of the burner. it's a council owned property so before i go ringing them up on her behalf I was wondering if this model should have some sort of device to cut off the gas supply in this...

hello again. just thought i'd let you know that there were no fault lights visible. apparently the guy who swapped the thermistor expressed a little surprise at it sorting the fault.

Update. Son of a friend of a friend came to look at this boiler today. He replaced the central heating thermistor(?) and bolier is operating normally. Fingers crossed.

Agile, have observed operation of pins. They appear to move in and out as required. As soon as power is applied to the boiler the pump runs and a pin on a brass manifold rises vertically and brings on th ch. remove the power and all seems to drop back into place. for hw another pin moves...

boiler keeps firing up on ch. thought it was the built in time clock, but disconnecting the two black leads from the clock still did not stop it from firing up. the only way to stop the ch is to turn the boiler off. no external thermostat fitted. anyone any clues please.

Update.... Stripped out cylinder and flushed boiler pipe work. Eventually a lump of what appeared to be cement dropped out. Must have been in there from day one X amount of years ago. Anyway put everything back together and it works fine. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Oooookay. If we strip the cylinder out and find a blockage other than sludge, i.e. limescale is there anything we can use to remove it. Does anyone know if the waterways on a back boiler are interlinked. could we add something to the heating side that would treat the hot water side? .Once again...

System is a back boiler,pumped CH and gravity HW to a cylinder. Top pipe to cylinder coil gets hot but bottom one does not. heated water goes up vent pipe into header tank. We suspect some sort of blockage in the gravity circuit. We thought about using a chemical cleaner, but given that there...

My cousin has just had a house built. There is a shiny new Vokera Unica boiler and TRV's on all rads except one of the bathrooms. There is no room stat. I thought these had to be fitted now, or does this not matter so much with condensing boilers. Just curious so I thought I'd ask.

apologies for taking so long to reply.advice noted and project re-thunk. thanks.

Is it possible/allowed to drill a joist to run 40mm pipe through. The joists in question are about 8 inch by 2 inch. I would imagine that some form of steel plate reinforcement would be required. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply masona. I was hoping to have the framing in place so that I could just purchase the doors and fit them. Haven't much storage space. I suppose it's the best way to go though. Cheers.

I'm looking to create a built-in wardrobe using something like Stanley sliding doors. Apparently they fit into an opening height of 88" (if I remember correctly). Does anyone know if there is any height adjustment on the doors. As I will have to install some form of battening to floor and...

Thanks for all the replies. He's going to try a new divertor valve as the pump was only changed in January. According to plumbcenter you can only get the whole valve not just the wax head thingy. £ 107 + vat. Ouch.

Hi guys, looking for a bit advice. A pal of mine was having problems with his central heating. Basically the flow pipe from the boiler and to all the rads was getting hot but the radiators would only get lukewarm. the return pipe did not seem to be getting hot at all. He ssuspected that there...

No room stat. RE: BG, have seen big posters around town with the £150.00 mentioned. We are not in London.
