Since I had my boiler (Baxi Solo) serviced a couple of weeks ago, I have noticed that the outer case of my boiler is a fair bit hotter to the touch, and the rads seem hotter also. Boiler stat hasn't been changed (still on 3 of 5), and the rads switch off as per room stat when desired room temp...

Thanks again John. Yeah, the rads get hot with CH off and HW on. Checked for loose wiring all seems OK, but wouldn't know how to adjust boiler stat, probably best to leave it and just take care with hot water. Got my gas engineer/plumber coming out Sat am to have a gander. Forgot to say...

A couple of more questions whilst I await to get this sorted. The assumption I'm making, is that if the 3-port valve has stooped functioning, hot water is flowing freely both to heat the water in the cylinder and the rads. With CH on and HW off the rads get hot, and the cylinder also gets...

Anyone know if the motor can be repaired on Danfoss 3 port valves? Both CH and HW come on regardless of which you choose on it's own, and both room stats and cylinder stat aren't cutting in to switch off. However if I have CH on and HW off, although water heats up as well, room stat cuts out...

Can't afford that, make it 10p :D Thanks for your help.

Think I may have identified the problem, and don't think it's the cylinder stat. Ran off all hot water until cylinder was cold. Then put CH on and kept W off. Cylinder still got hot. So, do you think I'm right in saying the diverter valve is either limed up or knackered anyway? I'm...

Thanks for your replies so far. 1.Immersion not on 2. Cylinder is still very hot so can't answer re does cylinder get hot if CH on. When boiler was due to come on to heat water this avro it didn't. This makes me think it's probably do to with the tank stat. The tank has been getting...

Don't really know what I'm doing so I won't delve too far, but I took the top off the box where the lead from the tank stat goes to see if any loose connections. Fiddled about with them but they looked OK. Interesting though when the boiler was due to come on for hot water it didn't, so that may...

Just had my boiler serviced, and I guess it might not be anything to do with that, but since then my hot water from the taps has been a lot hotter. If the boiler stat was faulty, would that automatically shut the boiler down? The boiler is turned up to around 2/3 capacity and I've turned it...

Blimey that's only about £20 per hour.

I'm looking for a reliable roofer in the greater Portsmouth area after being let down on three occasions, and had an attempt to rip me off for £1200 of unnecessary work by another. As far as I know, the work required is minimal, end half round coping stone needs re-fixing and I have a broken...

I have a 14 year old baxi, which has had intermittent ignition problems over the years. However between the last two services it has been working fine although there is sometimes a delay between spark, pilot and ignition. Had it serviced yesterday and the problem has returned. It sparks for...

The repair shop had it on test for three days, and the fault continued intermittently. They said could be motherboard, but with the cost of the testing and the prospect of new parts (which would probably come to more than I'd paid for it), and the fact that I bought it reconned 4 years ago with...

Took 4 goes this morning before it stayed on. All I have is printer (USB), monitor, mouse, keyboard, Cable bb modem (ethernet) plugged in. Think it's time to take into the PC shop, but thanks for your help with this.

OK did that. It went through a verification stage of: Files, indexes, security descriptions, USN journal, file data, and free space. It did give a report at the end, but it was only on screen for about .5 of a second. Got another screen saying 'the volume is clean' though. Will wait now...

double post

This is what I've got so far with this.... 'the type of the file system is NFTS cannot lock current drive chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?' Is this is what I should...

Thanks for advice everyone.

Something of an IT pigmy, so I just copied this of the bill, it doesn't mean much to me. I've had the PC for around 4 years EZCOOL LC4 MICRO TOWER 450W ECS GEFORCE 6100SM-M PCT-E AMD SEMPRON 3400+ SKT AM2 64 BIT OS = XP Home

My PC shuts down just after booting and can take 3 or 4 goes before it stays on. I took it back to the place of purchase and they said they tested it and it was OK, but the problem continues. They cleaned the fans and tested the power supply unit. Have checked all of the connections and they are...
