Meh! :evil: Seems it's away again. Was going fine would this signal the controll box is at fault? It's in a boiler house and currently torrential rain and 60mph wind (the last 2 hrs we have had 2 power cuts a couple of trees down near by and some roads flooded!) , probably be waiting...

Thanks for the help everyone, just put in a new coil and it's purring away again : Quite a bit of white smoke or steam on startup but it cleared after 30secs or so.

Cheers guys, Had a look at it again last night. Photocell on or off made no difference to sequence :( Tested it on the meter, very high resistance with no light, low reistance with light. Checked the white wire and getting 53v so assuming motor is good. Removed the coil and checked...

Thanks for the reply, By coil do you mean the oil valve/solenoid or the spark? My logic says its either the solenoid or the controller but i suppose if the 50v isnt there neither will work properly. I forgot to add, removed the photocell and it didnt change the operation. Sensor was...

Good stuff, Ill have check at it later this evening. If i do get 50V would it point to the control board? Thanks

Hello Have a problem with my boiler, Its a Grant 50/90 with what i believe is a Reillo 530Se burner. It was working fine on saturday, went back to the house yesterday and it sounded like it was going fine but had used no oil (running from drums at present). Had a look and all the pipes...

Hi guys, Looking a product to level out a sand cement rendered wall so that it can be tiled within 2-3weeks. Probably a variance of 4-8mm to take out, have a plasterer on site so was going to get him to "skim" it flat. Im told sand and cement or skim needs 6 weeks before tiling. Im...

Apologies if it was duff info. :oops: Just trying to remember back to comissioning mine before i put the actuators on. Was pretty sure screwing the caps down opened the valves, will check later.

Screw the blue caps down. The pin sitting up on the one you have removed is the valve. When you screw the cap down it pushes the pin and opens the valve allowing flow. These should act like an on/off switch. Top ones are the flow adjusters, used to balance the system, unscrewing increases...

Could be the return valves are closed and system effectively off. Try giving the blue valves a few turns in and out to and see if you get any movement on the black guages. With the system on and pump running the black guages at the top should be registering a flow, if the top manifold is...

Sorry folks, Honestly can't remember If they were ceramic or porcelain we had looked at. Size wise they were 450x250mm or there abouts. Will see if I can find out what they are tomorrow. What is the worst case? Thanks

Hello, Planning on tiling my bathroom walls and have a query. It was treated for damp, Plaster/render stripped, DPC injected and waterproofed sand cement render applied to the lower 1m of the wall. We now have a mix of bare sand cement render that im told is the best to tile onto and...

Thanks for the replies. Have to agree with you on the different roofer front, thought it sounded like a way for him to make a quick buck. Had a friend of a friend take a look, (joiner by trade, but likes roofs), he has experience doing Felt and Trocol. Reckons the Trocol system is one of...

How long have you left it running for and is it solid or suspended floor? Can you feel heat in the floor? I know my system takes ages for the return to get hot maybe 1-2hrs if it hasnt been on for a few days (90m², pipes in 50mm screed). Could it be you just havent had it running long...

Excellent, thanks for the reply. I have a few sheets of 100mm Xtratherm left over from doing the floor so i might see if that will fit. Ill get up today and get a few pictures/dimensions. We have had the ceiling stripped out and plastic over the felt for approx 2 months now with heating...

Hello I have a flat roof in need of repair and wondering the best option for tackling it. Flat roof is 2.5m x 3.5m covering 3 cavity walls on a small extension. It seems to be a solid bison slab or concrete poured in place covered with old felt. Internally as a ceiling it had Battons...

Hi guys, I have a beam that was fitted many years ago and it has been exposed due to renovation and removal of the hotpress. This is how it looks at the minute Im wanting to cover the opening at stairs creating a stud wall and then sheet the underside of the stairs. I had thought...
