it could also be the exspansion vessel, try & find out via instruction manual etc how much pressure there should be in & test it using a tyre pressure gauge, it may not be this but it wont cost you anything to test before you go and buy any parts, also press the what looks like a tyre valve in &...

shouldnt be a problem as there are sink traps with 2 inlets for a washing machine & dishwasher waste pipes on the market so it should be fine as long as the stand pipe is pretty much clear so it can take the amount of water if both are on at the same time,

have you checked the other rad valve, even if the TRV is working ok & is open no water will pass through the rad if the other valve is blocked or stuck closed, i would remove the rad & flush it out (if poss) & while it is off open the TRV & the other rad valve to see if any water comes through...

It could of been where a hot water cylinder was, i cant tell from the picture but does there look like there is enough room for a cylinder & is there another capped pipe lower down from the 1 in the pic, the cylinder would of been removed when the combi was fitted

has it got a frost stat?

I removed my wooden ledge then filled the window opening with 6"x6" glass blocks so it was level wih the inside wall, was very lucky as 12 of these blocks filled the area in perfectly then i tiled up to them & it is now all sealed, i did this cos i didnt want to brick the window up inside the...

does the water heat up when you have the heating & hot water switch on?

Could be a dodgy frost stat switch kicking in

you can purchase a sliding collar that does what it says! it slides along the pipe so you can cut the pipe in situ then slide the collar onto the existing pipe, put the new pipework in place then slide the collar over where the 2 pipes meet, it does away with having to move any of the existing...

Faulty diverter valve, the motors burn out after a time, if its easily accessible you can manually move the lever across & lock it in place if this stops the fault then chances are it the motor, a couple of quid from most places & are easy to replace.

open the hot tap & put your mouth around the tap spout & blow as hard as you can this should send the air lock back up the pipe to vent & will clear the air lock, if you cannot blow hard enough (if the length of pipe is too long & it wont blow out) then connect a piece of hose to the hot tap...

not at the time i got mine, i needed the card as i was working on a building site on a self employed basis i remember it was quite a quick process.

i got mine from my local tax office a few years back, it was just a form that i filled in with a passport photo

There will be an electric box/relay that controls the voltage going to the motor, the lower the voltage the slower the motor will spin & vice versa, without knowing which model you have i cant tell you where it is or what it looks like its my guess that this needs replacing, if you remove the...

Thanks, i will give it go later as per instructions in link

When i run the hw on my 280 it only runs for about a min then goes out for about a min then comes back on for a min & so on, the pressure gauge rises & sometimes dumps the water out of the prv & sometimes during this the combi needs to be reset as it seems to be overheating when running the hw...

I have a worcester 280 the CH works fine but when i turn on the DHW the boiler runs for a minute or so then cuts out (the pressure rises & i lose some water from the PRV) then starts up again, the pump is new any ideas could it be the flow switch?

once you have soldered the joint blank off 1 end (with your finger perhaps) then stick it in a bowl or bucket of water then blow done the pipe as much as you can & see if any bubbles come out of the joint,

I have a Worcester 280 RS which switches itself on & off when running hot water, hot water for about 1 min, then the boiler goes out for about a min then fires back up again for a min etc, could it be the pump?

Try a Worcester Junior, they are the most common type fitted in static caravans (which are similar in area for you) & are a very good boiler for what you require, shop around for the best prices,
