you can dry line the wall as long as the gas pipe is completely encased in the plasterboard adhesive.

Do yourself a favour and don't just replace the stuffing box. Strip the front off the diaphragm housing (6 screws and the 10mm tube nut) and clean the pins with wire wool or you may find that the crud on the pin will wear out the new seal quicker than normal.

Sorry Tony, guilty of post skimming! I was called out to a Housewarmer recently to do a second opinion for a letting agency, it had been turned off because the first gas fitter got a burner pressure of 19.5 on the firefront instead of 19.2!!!!

Why has no-one asked why it was turned off? A repair might be the job and a lot cheaper than a replacement. He would've had to give you a specific reason for the ID situation, what does it say on the warning notice?

the last heat exchanger I bought for an apollo was more than £300, could be just as cost effective to buy a boiler

is the boiler thermostat (on the suprima) turned up to it's highest setting? If it isn't and the hot water store doesn't quite reach it's target temperature, (even though it may be hot enough for use) then it may not switch over into ch mode.

some dypshyt has piped up the hot and cold backwards.

look at the first photo and stare at the green bit. It will then appear to float inside the white bit.

what part of tyne & wear?

can't help being thorough micky :D

You probably could do it yourself if you're a bit handy. You have to do a small mod on the circuit board and alter a part in the diverter valve at the same time. Everything you need comes in the kit. You might want to leave yourself a good couple of hours to do it, I've done loads and the...

also, what do you plan to do with the fireplace??? That wudda been the first question I asked on th disconnection. Nowt worse than an old gas pipe having it's solder melted by a newly installed solid fuel appliance. Bangtastic!!

Take the front panel off and look towards the back and just right of centre. The little black box has a red led on it, does it light up when you turn on the hot tap?

if the red light goes out as soon as the tap is turned off then you can disregard my first post. Something else to look at based on your desriptions is that the heat exchanger needs the fins cleaning. If the spaces between the fins are restricted with debris then the heat from the flames is...

In the situation you describe gazdaz36 then you've assumed the demand for dhw has stopped and it's back in ch mode, the wax capsule hasn't returned so the burner keeps firing until overheat. Well sparky the lack of dhw demand brings the primary thermistor into the equasion and when the heat has...

quite simple, when the hot water tap is turned off the pin isn't moving back fully so it's staying in dhw mode with the tap off. Bang, clatter, overheat. The clues were in the first post. Get your plummer to see if the red light on the pcb stays on after the tap is switched off. If so it could...
