VaillantMark, I have sent you a pm.

The system was never drained. The water was not turned off at the mains either. When the radiator was put in all they did was go through the house and bled them all. I will post a photo I took of the boiler's inside when the EAGA inspector came to check the work - and pronounced it good...

Hello guys, thank you so much for all your ideas. The problem has been solved, fixed, and cost me nothing. EAGA sent out an engineer who found that the washer in the cap on the air outlet had become squashed and was no longer doing its job. He scrunched up a bit of PTFE tape, whacked it...

I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks ChrisR. Please hang around, I might need someone to hold my hand ...

I understand, Bengasman. I have seen stuff about them on the Martyn Lewis money site forum. I think I will give them a ring on Tuesday. The rad they put in leaked and they had to come out twice more to fix it. :shock: :evil:

Bengasman, you've got the wrong end of the stick. The Vaillant boiler and central heating system were paid for by myself, when I was still working, ten years ago. They were done to the highest standard by a central heating engineer who was taking his annual CORGI renewal, and was inspected by...

Thanks, guys. I am a youngish pensioner, but still a sitting duck for any "rogue traders" out there. :cry: Could it possibly have anything to do with the engineers "overriding" the boiler when installing the radiator? It has only happened since they were here. (Btw before you advise...

What's bg?

I rang Vaillant and they said they'd charge me £260 before they even started, and then went on to try to persuade me to take out an insurance policy! They then said that when my boiler is 14 they will no longer be supplying parts for it! I don't want to take the boiler apart in case I can't...

Hello again. I am hoping someone can give me some advice, please. I have a Vaillant Turbomax that is now 10 years old. In the last couple of weeks I noticed water accumulating on my worktop and at first thought it was from over-filling the kettle, but it became obvious it must be coming...

Chris said "What I think what matahari would like is an explicit set of step-by-step instructions.... " Spot on, Chris! Better than that would be someone who knew what they are doing. I only have one Scart lead, and one loose double-ended aerial lead. I suppose I'll have to get another...

Chris, thank you, but as I said in my first post, I'm dim when it comes to technical language. You are obviously much cleverer and switched on, and I'm sure if you were here you'd have the whole thing sorted in no time. Thanks for all your help.

Chris, I think it must, because this appears in the instruction manual. Guess I'll just have to fiddle about a bit more ...

Thanks for replies. I got it back the other day. Cash Converters' technician found that the remote control was faulty, they gave me another one and it now appears to be working ok. I still have one more teeny problem and that is that I can't wire it up. I simply don't know how to get it...

Thanks Chris. Tried all you said but nothing worked. In the end rang Sony technical help. They said a drum had become faulty and that I should either see a Sony engineer (big bucks! for a second-hand machine - I think NOT!) or take it back to the shop. Which I am doing this afternoon.

Sorry, I posted this in "Appliances" by mistake. :oops: Hello all. Can anyone help? My old Akai VCR packed up and I bought a Sony SLV-E730EX/UX (1998) complete with remote at a local Cash Converters, who assured me it was working. Downloaded and printed the User Manual, too. But there...

Thanks guys, I will be on my guard. I NEVER go out of the house and leave an electric appliance switched on (apart from a radio for the Greyhound, if he has been left Home Alone), and at night everything is turned off at the set. I am still living with this old tv. I got a new scart lead for...

Thanks everyone, I'll put a request on Freecycle. :D

Thanks Freddie, good idea. But - Would it be possible to alter the picture using the tv controls?

Thanks Micky. I think I'll just keep watching it till it gives out. I recently had another problem with it, it kept losing both picture and sound. I had it repaired, the man said something had burnt out which he had cut away. It's since then I have noticed the change in pic quality. Going...
