Look on worcester-bosch.co.uk Look on literature and select gas boilers. Scroll down and you will find 28 cdi. Download it and filling instructions are on page 5. For some reason mine downloaded upside down and can only turn it 90 degrees. You may have to vent pump a few times as it seems to...

The key is white plastic and shaped like a T. Is this what yours looks like?

CH will have to be off when you refill. The plastic key fits in a hole underneath the appliance and you have to twist it before you can refill with water. Details are shown in your installation guide.

Softus, Thanks I have edited my comments on my previous post accordingly. Like you say I am a newby and I am used to another forum where banter is robust and you give and take comments without offence. Sorry If I offended anyone I will try to adjust.

How would we all feel if she attempted to try the job herself and got in mess and flooded the place out. That's why I suggested she call a plumber if she and her friends were not confident. Yes you are right I probably was over the top but after 30 years experience some of the suggestions I was...

1. If is a combi system then the hot water is on mains pressure anyway so you would never get an airlock. Can't be combi because she says one rad comes on when the water is getting heated. Could be an Elson combination tank/cylinder as they are often put in the loft spaces of terraced houses or...

Thanks for reply Snapper01. Normal procedure if an appliance fails test is to keep appliance on full and retry after a further 5 mins. Your flue liner if they re-used original as suggested could be over 22 years old. Normal procedure is to replace with every new appliance. Flue liner could be...

Yes I think we all get the picture now. Truth outs in the end does n't it.

Got to agree lads, If he was new to area and was n't sure about who to get why didn't he get British Gas as they had already serviced it in previous years.

The installer should have shown you how to refill the boiler. There are two ways. Were you given a white plastic T shaped handle about 5 inches in length. If not below the boiler is there a stainless steel flexible hose connected to a small valve with a little handle on it.

If you are the real Harry Potter then why do you need us? We are heating engineers, you are the magician not the other way round. Only joking please do n't turn me in to a frog! Good luck with your enquiries, sorry cannot help you but only deal with Worcester -Bosch.

Hi very-chilly-wash, guess your new name must be very-chilly-smelly by now.(Sorry could n't resist.) Yes it does seem milder this morning so thankfully you can forget about the frozen pipes scenario. Air lock is still probable cause, if you do not have a hot supply to washer do you have a mixer...

Just read your original post. It sounds like he had already checked the boiler for spillage and was now checking the gas fire for spillage using a smoke match. Was he was saying that the gas fire was not clearing it's products of combustion when run at the same time as the boiler or was it the...

Anybody know if Parkinson Cowan have a web-site. I need installation and servicing manual for their Moffat 65 gas hob installed about 1990 to find correct part nos. Alternatively I need a battery operated piezzo system to fit the above. I am corgi reg but struggling to help customer at moment...

Supposedly B&Q sell a black glass radiator. Hav n't seen it but customer said they do. Could be something totally different mind. I think Chrishutt has a good idea with the tube dropping inside the rad, that would work. You would need to be inventive and fabricate a tube but yes that would be a...

Do n't think it will heat up, may be wrong, stranger things have happened but best bet is to drop pipes. Is it possible to feed from other side of the wall and drill through, or is that not possible due to outside wall or lounge, dining room etc. Just a thought

Like I say, if the expansion pipe in the loft becomes frozen and then the cold feed to the cylinder becomes frozen and you draw off hot water from the cylinder then the cylinder implodes( collapses). Remember physics at school when in an experiment you could collapse an oil can by heating the...

If expansion pipe is frozen then water can still trickle out. If the cold supply pipe becomes frozen then cylinder will collapse due to implosion. Best to ring your friends and get a plumbers tel no I think just to be on safe side.

Just love my job really, done it for nearly 30 years. I hate it as well when people get ripped off by cowboys. This is going to get worse as everybody is jumping on the bandwagon at the moment trying to be a plumber!

Just looked at your post again. Is it below freezing in Durham, and has your loss of water coincided with the weather turning cold? How do you know your pipes in the loft are not frozen? Are they lagged or in a cold draught? You need to check these before you try the hose connection method.
