Over the weekend I put 2 bottles of Sentinel X400 in the central heating system, which appeared to do the trick and the rads were nice and hot again with the heating on most of the weekend. Now its Monday evening and the heating is back on but its gone back to how it was when I first started...

Hi Tony, What do you mean by a bucket test? The new pump is a Grundfos Selectric one I think. There are 2 x 2 way motorized valves near it, one on pipework to the hot water cylinder and the other on pipework to the boiler. Many thanks

Pump setting is on 2 out of 3. On old pump it was always on one when it used to work properly.

Thanks so far, there are no TRV's on our rads. The boiler thermostat was replaced 2 years ago, i had suggested it was the same problem but because it was recently replaced they discounted that and went for the pump. I'll check the water temp. Also the thermostat in the hall, at the moment its...

I've just had Eon visit today under our maintenance contract to try to fix our central heating but its not worked... The rads are only getting warm on the top and are just not heating the house so wife and kids not happy. I've already taken one rad off and flushed with a hose, there wasn't a...

Thanks for your help Zipper. I did what you suggested and first time no water came out but the machine did move onto the rinse and dry cycle. Second time the machine got stuck again. Third time tipped it up again a bit further this time and some water came out onto the floor, since then the...

Hi, I have a 6 year old Bosch Exxcel Dishwasher which i'm really hoping to save from being scrapped. The problem is that the dishwasher is getting stuck at the end of the wash cycle and not moving onto the rinse cycle. The time on the countdown timer is always 31 minutes when it gets stuck...

I've found the motorised valve unit, although there appears to be 2 of them. One is on the pipe that comes directly out of the hot water cylinder, the other is next to the pump. I've altered the one next to the pump and pushed the sliding switch into the notch. This does seem to have made a...

I've just checked the water leaving the boiler when the heating is on and the pipe is really hot. The radiators in comparison just feel warm. Is it time to call out a heating engineer? I was hoping avoid it, as I can do without the expense at the moment. Thanks everyone

Hi, I've checked the radiators and the Grundfus pump, none of which needed bleeding. No air came out of the pump just a thimble full of water. The pump is currently on setting 2. I've also checked the cold water header tank in the loft. The water inside it was luke warm but this was after...

Hi, i'm after some help to this problem: The radiators in our house aren't getting hot anymore, they do get warm but this isn't enough to warm the house properly. Although the other day I did notice that they did get hot first thing in the morning but then throughout the day they are just...

Tried this yesterday and it worked, many thanks for posting the advice and picture. Really helped. Thanks

Hi, I've recently purchased a 300W outdoor security light and wondered whether it would be ok to wire a plug onto the cable and have plugged into a socket. Would there be anything wrong with this? Thanks Meggalar

Ok, thanks for your help it is appreciated. I'll leave the garage light switch cable alone and will spur from the ceiling rose instead. Thanks Meggalar

Hi, I'm trying to install a security light on the outside of my garage and have beenstruggling with the electrics. Can I spur of the light switch cable for the main garage light or should it go the ceiling rose? I tried a junction box from the garage light switch cable to a new switch for...
