As Agas has stated. You need to check the permissible flue lengths for your boiler and allowable runs. But really, if you had an RGI on board from the get go, he would know anyway. I can't see how a small merchants discount would compensate for the extra hassle your chosen path will cause you.

Could I suggest that, unless you have discovered otherwise, there should be little price difference between an RGI supplying and fitting a boiler, and you supplying and then finding an RGI. And with the special flue requirements that Keston boilers have, on the odd occasion they are actually...

Just be very careful as to who the building company are using to perform this work. Are they calling in a GasSafe company, or is it being done "in house"?

Salus seem to have certain feline qualities in that they do what they want, when they feel like it. They are also quite pretty to look at (the blue back lighting being particularly attractive) And they are cheap. Now I've run out of nice things to say about them. You could try a couple of...

There seems to be a wide gulf between what a Salus should do and what it actually does do.... Good luck with this!

It could possibly be as simple as a failed solder joint - such hairline cracks can make or break with a bang to the surrounding area. However, your recent pcb renewal tends to suggest that as unlikely. If you are allowed to remove the case, and isolate the power, a visual check with a magnifier...

Nick - not much help atm, but for when you get your Hex cleaned/exchanged, bear in mind that the hotter you heat your water, the more scale will deposit in your boiler. The chaps on here will no doubt supply relevant figures and reasons, but something to bear in mind for the future.

I'm still waiting for the OP to post the girlfriend in shower picture.....

Going from memory, they're 1/4 turn, so probably ceramic? I guess that means a valve on each side. Thanks for both comments, I feel a tad more confident now.

I've been summoned to my son's place to "have a look" at this basin tap, which has developed a slow drip. At a guess, I'd say there is a ceramic cartridge in there somewhere. Or would there be 2? Before I pay a visit, could anyone suggest which parts I should be removing and where I might find...

Welcome back, Paul, haven't seen you in the open forums for a long time. You used to be a Buderus man, if I remember, what are you fitting now?

If there really is such a thing, why aren't you asking him your question?

Caesar, simple enough question - and to answer it, if the MI say 2 screws, then 2 screws it is - but you will be lucky to get any further answers as the GasSafe guys on here are not allowed to offer gas advice. And rightly so. Go to the CC if you are registered. If not, why are you hanging a...

For some reason, the small 13kg patio gas cylinders come complete with a gauge. Not sure why someone bbq-ing should be more important than a domestic user .....

Oh dear, Steely, we've got another Mr Angry on here.....

I fell asleep after the 50th bullet point......

Not sure if HomeServe will cover a diy problem. Its called leak insurance for a reason - but you don't have a leak. Do these peeps charge if you call them out wrongly? Study Jackrae's link carefully, then try a refit. What have you got to lose?

Well done, Craig - ignore Tony, I think your findings are invaluable and well worth sharing. A good bit of detecting. Do the capacitors have a reference or rating on them?

I'm confused - your pic only shows an open gulley. Have you a pic of the lid you are having difficulty reaching/removing? Unless its one of those "trick of the eye" shots.

Might be an idea to try and pre book the RGI visit for when you are actually there. You can then discuss all options face to face. Otherwise, I can see a second 4-hour journey .....
