Nice pic 8) Was thinking that also, certainly sum kind of blockage, wether its air or sludge.

You say downstairs heats fine ? You could try shutting off the radiators that do heat and "forcing" the heat upstairs. Try turning the pump speed up to maximum setting till the air clears - sounds like thats all it is : airlock. I assume your hot water works ok ? And that all was reasonably...

Never heard of that being done, how would it be carried out ? P.S Nice shirt btw !

Last time i seen a fault very similar to that it was the glowplug that had snapped inside (which allegedly is very easy to happen). Im sure the resistance of the plug is summit like 5 ohms (?) - if not then that shows its broken. Dont quote me on that btw ! i wrote it down but dont have it...

I reckon u must be missing it. Look closer at the top right or left / top back. There will be one, unless its snapped off sumhow from a previous bleed. Myson round tops anyone ?

Defo a must. Was at one today where that very thing had happened - a teabag wouldve held more water. Quote: The Customer - "Yes son, he said he was going to come back but never did...." Brilliant :lol: Get sum inhibitor in there pronto sharpish, hope it all works out good for ya !

Although in fairness Agile's point is spot on, just put across harshly ! :D

Be very careful with that potential death trap. Get a Corgi in to work on it as advised above.

Good shout, at least you / your companies engineers have the necessary knowledge and equipment to carry out the job properly and safely (remember the BG incident ?!) Unfortunately for the OP this would be additional expense, but they can take that up with the initial "engineer".

Odd one that. Once i did see a fault where the primary sensor was gubbed and it fired up itself thinking it was cold, although this happened maybe once an hr rather than the specific times u have mentioned. I assume ur corgi has succesfully turned off the preheat function. It's only a...

Depending on how far u need to extend the flue it shouldnt be a prob. Provided its following the same straight path a new flue should be the only outlay. Only thing is the legend flues are around 500mm long uncut and im unaware of being able to extend this distance. Id phone them for advice -...

Yes do that as soon as. Ive seen them melt the connectors away loads of times, but actually seen one that had set fire to the kitchen earlier this week. Scary stuff. Dont let that alarm u though !

What a pile of cack these boilers are. First time i worked on one was friday just past, spent 3 HOURS on the damn thing fixing leak after leak after leak blah blah, before finally getting down to fitting the parts it req'd. Anyways, u mentioned u changed the h/w flow switch. If u refer to...

Really !! ?? Thats a bit "Big Brother-ish" is it not ? Next thing u know theyll be monitoring the flue gases from a call centre and only doing a service when the boiler needs it ! lol ! Anyways joking aside, I wonder why that idea never went ahead ?

Glad u got it fixed mate. Seems like a classic - "get the boiler fixed eventually, never mind trying to understand why a certain part has failed or what it does" scenario. I cant understand how anyone can run a succesful business on this basis. Going by ur description of the fault i...

Yeah i'd say more grammatical errors than any real faults in the actual point of the document. Good luck with the let !

Hi all. As a (relativley) young person i have a q for sum of the more mature people here ! What was Towns gas ? I noticed while servicing an old Housewarmer the other day it had values for this on the data badge. Was it similar to LPG ? And why was it fazed out ? Was natural gas a better...

Damn right. I'm still seeing perfectly safe and operational BBU's that must be nearing 30 yrs - Glowworm 246 Galaxie' s, New World Stornoways, etc Even i have a Baxi 552 that must be a fair old age. Not costing as much to run as u'd think (i tell the mrs to put on an extra jumper lol !!)...
