    thorn emi apollo boiler not working

    Well done Danielle. As Dan says -looks like youve found a honest engineer. If he does a decent job, recommend him to friends and family and they'll be less likely to use a rip off 'cowboy' Glad we could all help

    thorn emi apollo boiler not working

    Danielle. Get someone else to give you a quote and price. You can probably 'miss' hot water and heating for a few more days. I have fixed plenty of these and as most people are stating its probably going to be the thermocouple and OH stat. I'd initially get both of these replaced alongside...

    thorn emi apollo boiler not working

    He's pulling your leg. Parts for these boilers are still available. From what youre saying i would say its the thermocouple. Also the thermocouple has two spades which supply the OH stat. Parts are no more than £30-35 for thermocouple and OH stat together. I think he wants to sell you a...

    Swap radiator for towel rail in combi system

    As you are new to plumbing, unless you feel really confident, i'd get a plumber in. For an expert this job can be done in a couple of hours with the heating side either still full or drained halfway. Also don't think you'll find a towel rad with the same dimensions so you will prob have to...

    fluing through an old chimney

    I think that he wants to core through side on and not just go through the back. was3304 states he wants to treat the chimney like a cavity wall I'm not sure if it is allowed. Don't the regs state that a flue must be able to be examined throughout its whole length.

    Vaillant Turbomax Boiler

    If its still under a year old then the boiler is still in its warranty. I'd leave it to a CORGI engineer to sort to keep the T&C's of your guarantee. However, if the fuse on the PCB has blown its more than likely to be F1. This is located on the bottom right of the PCB near to where the main...

    Vaillant Turbomax Boiler

    Probably blown the fuse on the PCB. There may be a spare which can be used. If it has blown, as well as replacing it, you need to think why. Possible faulty component on the boiler such as the fan or pump. Also check that there is no leak in the boiler which may have caused a short.

    Loss of pressure.

    Thats what i'm hoping Tony. When fitting the system i replaced alot of plastic pipe that i imagine a builder put in when the extension was added. It wasn't barrier pipe so i told the customer that it can let air into the system and it was better replaced with copper :lol: Thanks for the...

    Loss of pressure.

    filled to nearly 3 to try and identify any small leaks. Didn't leave it like that before i left i lowered the pressure to 1.5 via a drain off. Definately not the PRV - no signs of it discharging at all..... Strange how its been alright till i installed the towel rad. Checked that and...
