Hi, I helped a friend strip the exterior sills of his house in Battersea and when we got the paint off with a heat gun it became clear that the stone or concrete sill needed repair. One of the sills has 3 large cracks leaving a gaping 5-10mm gap (it has a little decorative feature at each...

the plumber has, he said he had a raging argument with them because they won't sell him it seperately..

looks like a brand new boiler then.. I'm surprised Grant will not sell us the exchanger seperately. Are you suggesting we get the pluber to remove it, and then take it to a welder? sounds promising.. I think the cracks both inside and outside as its leaking.

You've solved it for me Namsag, Thanks all working perfectly now! My own stupid fault I read a post on here after searching diaphragm replacement, a poster mentioned opening the boiler drain screw! Only 1 post out of all the 50 or so on here regarding replacing a diaphragm! Just my luck...

Yes, it was a house and then converted into 3 flats in 2002. The flat is on the second and third floor (converted loft) Amazing how you can determine that from a kitchen light. Above the kitchen light is a small loft space in the eaves with rockwool between the joists.(no floor boards)...

Thanks Fatcat, I'll give it a go in the morning.

Ok then guys, I've now moved the brown wire into the red as requested. Turned power back on... still didn't work. (see photos) whats the next step in the investigation? I have added som photies of the old lamp which may help.
