Oh ok - I will ask my next door neighbour he has been around here for many years so should know the moose head - its just that I have had someone else get Bideford and bidford mixed up. As for the boiler - if I find droplets of water on the switch what is the fix. How come the rads got warm...

I think you have Bideford mixed up with Bidford! My boliers latest symptoms are - woke up to a boiling hit house this morning. Went to boiler and the hotwater neon was flashing but the rads were boiling hot and there was no demand for heating. It appears that the boiler 3 port valve is...

Near Bidford on Avon. The preheat is only set to first notch if its any lower the shower takes ages to warm up in the morning. I have had another problem which may be linked and has has never been sorted - at night when the CH is off and the boiler is set to pre heat during the night the boiler...

Hi, I have a problem with a performa 28i. The boiler has a problem where the hot water light flashes for hours even though no hot water taps are on. The boiler is set to pre heat but it shouldnt be pre heating for hours. The rads were slightly warm as if some water was getting through to the...

I have tried that but then the water takes forever to warm up in the morning. The shower has to run for ages to get warm. Has anyone changed a HW sensor on this boiler?

our expansion vessel was changed without removing the boiler from the wall - 500 to 600 is far too much - someone is ripping you off - you should budget for 100 plus the vessel

I have the same boiler and have had a new expansion vessel. I would recommend de-pressurising the boiler and checking the expansion vessel with a car foot pump with gauge - it should be 0.5 bar. Note I had the new vessel a year ago and I have had to re-pressurise it again this year - I think...

Hi, I have a potterton 28i boiler set to pre heat the hot water into the boiler store. During normal hot water operation and central heating the boiler does not make any noise but... at night when the boiler has not been used for a while and the boiler has heated the same hot water in the...

Thanks for replies guys I plan to check the pressure vessel this week and re-cahrge if necessary. I will do it when I drain the system to replace a rad. Sounds like I dont have a problem with the diverter valve then - I will keep an eye on it.

Hi I have a few problems with this boiler. 1. The pressure is increasing over 3 bar and water is coming out of the PRV. I assume this is down the the expansion vessel not having enough pressure in it. The thing is I had the expansion vessel replaced about a year ago - do they loose their...

Hi, I am having a new bathroom fitted so I thought I would fit an extractor fan to the far wall next to the window. There is also going to be some cabinet lights fitted to a unit which will sit over the sink. The only light in the room is a centre ceiling light. The bathroom has a flat...

Hi, I am going to change my rad for a myson towel warmer. What I would like to know is the best way to go about replacing it in readiness for the floor to be tiled. Do you use a chrome pipe from the feed pipe to the towel warmer or do you use a sleeve over the normal copper pipe? This is...

Hi, I want to install an extractor fan in my bathroom. The bathroom has a flat roof. I want to take a feed from the light in the centre of the room to the fan on the far wall. The problem is the joist go across the room so I cant feed a wire betwen the plaster ceiling and the roof to where...

Thanks Gaz - I will get hold of one and change it.

Thanks B.O.B. for your comments - sounds feasible I will await to see if you have any other ideas

Thanks for your help. Do you mean a new air vent? - I have just priced one at £5.15. I think I will get one. - could you possibly detail the best way to go about changing it please.

I went up to the loft to check the vent screw - It wasnt out much so I have wound it out a bit. I have turned down the pre-heat also. What I have noticed is that there has been quite a bit of water coming out of the vent, you can see all the water residue of the vent casing. -Is this normal?-...

Hi, I have a Potterton performa 28i combi boiler. It is set to keep the pre-store of water hot. The problem is when the boiler kicks in periodically to keep the water at the correct temperature the boiler makes quite a racket! The boiler is housed in the loft above my sons bedroom and on...
