    ravenheat engineers?

    Someone who knew what they were talking about would advice you that you can diagnose a faulty plate heat exchanger by a carrying out a few simple tests before buying expensive parts off ebay.

    A case for Boss White on every compression joint.

    What do you use for rad valve tails OOI? Most of the stuff I do is replacing existing and it takes 2 seconds to 'beef up' the old olive with a bit of ptfe. Less messy and easier to carry in the tool box.

    The crumbustion chamber?

    Im pleased for you and I dont believe anyone has said that you shouldn't. No its not rocket science and seeing as we're thick as **** and you, the 'house renovator', obviously knows it all I can't understand why you and your GD bumchums are getting so upset you don't have access.

    The crumbustion chamber?

    I think he's referring to point you made about not being able to break the law in your own home.

    How do you measure the lengh of an immersion heating element

    Your asking an internet forum for the correct measurement of something that you presumably have in front of you :? :? :? You also need something of value before you can sell it.

    Ariston Microgenus 27 mffi no ignition - fan not running

    If the orange LED is on without the fan running then the PCB sounds the most logical. If the APS has been tested at least. Ive replaced nearly every part on this boiler at some stage in the last few years and never had any issues in getting the parts or for any other boiler of that era. I...

    Is this plumbing set up right?

    Seems like a waste of time idea seeing as thats the overflow

    Boiler Condemned

    Scrap it and think of the £1000 you wasted on British Gas' homecare that you could now have put toward your new boiler that any decent RGI would have told you you would have needed soon enough as the thing is a piece of ****.

    Intermittent HW problem with boiler.

    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 418 vs Worcester 18Ri

    The baxi solo doesn't need pump over run. This is the same boiler as the potterton promax only you get to actually see the diagnostic LEDs which can be invaluable. Should be a bit cheaper than the vaillant as well. Heat only boilers are very basic the quality of the rest of your controls...

    Eye watering rail fares

    No sympathy for commuters. Want a London wage without all the bills that come with it. I heard someone say yesterday that soon they'll have trouble finding people to work in the city :lol: BTW if this affects oyster card then they're *******s!

    Shower pump and pressure reducing valve

    You cant pump mains water plus if its that good you wouldnt need to. You could try getting a single impellor pump on the hot (assuming you have stored hot water and suitablely sized tanks) and match it to the pressure of the cold water. Your reducing valve should do the rest

    Hopefully 3 not too difficult questions

    If the boiler doesn't have pump over run then yes PTFE is for when the seal is made via threaded joint or olive compression. The seal on your pump should be 1 1/2" rubber washers which need to only be slightly more than hand tight

    Evicting Looter's Family - What Do You Reckon Will Happen?

    Excellent. Tenants sign a contract stating that any tenant found to break the law will be evicted. By doing so is classed as making your self intentionally homeless so no the council doesn't pay for anymore housing benefit. Eviction takes months so wise to start now if they're found...

    MegaFlo Pressure Issue - what should I expect?

    Im surprised as 13lpm shower should be pretty good. Your not using a large drench head are you? A smaller head increases velocity giving the impression of more power
