Poking at EV tech is daft. It's proven, it works, its going to only get better and better. If you want to throw stones, infrastructure is where the glass lies. It's a mess

Just clean the bloody hob.

Currently in the UK after driving 500 miles and ferry on a 50kwh battery. The tech is fine. However, the infrastructure needs to catch up. I don't think it fantastic but it's also not a show stopper for the occasion long journey. The EV is an absolute fantastic car for long journeys though.

Don't understand the comment about electric showers being unsatisfactory tbh. I have a 10kw Mira and even on the coldest days, the flow is more than adequate. Especially so in todays world of energy and water costs. Granted, it's no deluge but it's more than serviceable. Especially so as a...

5 ****ing grand?

You have a modern, new system. There should be no need to have the LS valves throttling. This will be counter productive to the boiler when at full demand. Take note of the settings but open them up full. Use CS 2(?) speed on the pump, set ABV as per instructions.

You seem quite fond of that thought.

Exactly, do your own research. Before following anyone's bad habits and practices ;)

Us CS mode. Speed 1 unless you need to go to speed 2. With an ABV, PP and CP are useless. After setting the pump to CS 1, reset the ABV according to the online instructions (really easy). You'll end up about .4 ish i think.

There is a good paper by grundfoss on this issue. It effectively negates the benefits of a PP pump with pressure controlled bypass arrangements. After fannying around with multiple configurations to see if i could get a pp pump to play nice with a external bypass, i ended up using a NO...

Ffs From the boiler iom: 3.11.2 System by-pass An automatic system by-pass is provided in the boiler. The boiler is suitable for use in systems with thermostat- ic radiator valves and no additional by-pass is required. The by-pass valve is adjustable, see section 5.8. If true (you should...

Why bother? The boiler efficiency con is exactly that. It's damn hard to keep a boiler in it's condensing range whilst coping with all the other variables in play. As you are finding out. Stop hobbling the rads and crippling the output of the boiler to satisfy outdated rules of thumb for long...

When it comes to amateur landlords being amateur i don't give them an inch. I had the misfortune of renting from one such arsehole and his fudgery damn near killed me. They put proper landlords to shame.

Therein lies the problem. CP is for UFH and doesn't play nice with AVVs. Either fit a manual bypass (tacosetter) and use PP or use CS. You'll go round and round in circles unless you set the pump to match the bypass.

Most forums are just cliques. Mostly circling a narcissist. More moons circling the same planet means less sunlight.

Aye. And i offered my opinion as to why that would be. :confused:

Er. I think it's the opposite. Schools have become houses of wrote learning. I know people who could quote you the bible chapter and verse yet not "understand" any of it. (They are called priests....) But I'm like you. Chapter and verse bore the ****e out of me but i like to figure out the...

Rules are only needed where knowledge and application are missing. These days, people think less and rely on others more so rules have to fill in the void.

I propose: The owner had a ****ty wire connector in here to provide a link/240v somewhere else and this shat itself because it was arcing or something then it gave up the ghost causing the heating to stop at which point the owner removed the evidence for fear of the damage voiding the boiler...
