Fellas, Checked the resistor and found the reading was 589 ohms, is this regarded as good or bad?

Thanks for your continuing support guys. The flow switch has been checked, wouldn't know about the 560R resistor though. Is this part of the PCB, if so all I can say is that he did give it the once over. Not sure if I should be asking him back to double check things. If I can check the...

Hey all, Further to my previous posts things haven't got much better :cry: I've had another engineer out who spent about an hour and a half looking at the boiler and came back saying that he couldn't locate the fault. What I can't understand is that if I've paid someone to fix a problem...

Nickso, Thanks for your advice, are you suggesting that the PCB may not be to blame? If so I'm hoping their might be life in the old girl! The fan does not run at all when the pilot is lit, when you say 'running slow' I presume that this would be continual, not intermitent? Even though the...

Thanks for the advice. As it happens my wife made me call a CORGI guy out. He came earlier this afternoon and told her that it's not worth fixing. I'm not too sure what he said exactly but my wife mentioned the PCB was probably to blame and therefore given it's age we'd be better off going...

Hey, Wonder if any of you could offer me some advice. I have a Vokera Flowmatic that will not fire up. In my quest to find the problem I have changed the diaphragm on the diverter valve, while this was in need of replacing it didn't remedy the problem. I know there are various posts on...

Guys, I have a Vokera Maxin 24 e combi boiler, the heating is controled via a rather old Vokera room stat. The stat has developed a fault and no longer works and therefore I need to change it. Unfortunately I do not have details of the model of Vokera room stat and have searched the...

Luminaire, Yeah it's definately class 1, says so on it's label, I was suprised myself as there doeasn't appear to be metal parts on it. http://www.powerjuicer.com shows what I'm talking about. While the handle is metal it fits into the plastic casing. The steel cutting blade screws onto...

Hi Guys Wonder if you would be able to offer me some advice. I have recently been on the C&G course for PAT. As a landlord I thought that the initial outlay of the course and a tester would be a useful addition given that my tenants like to have their own electrical appliances, testing...

Guys, I seem to have a problem with my shower, when I turn it on the cold water seems to over power the hot water meaning that I don't get a hot shower. I have a combi boiler and the shower (bearing no name or model) is a thermostatic bar mixer. If I turn the shower on and run the bath...

Guys, Can anyone give me an idea of what may be wrong with my Ideal Isar boiler. Although the on off switch illuminates nothing is displayed in the LCD screen. As a result of this the boiler does not seem to work at all. I have chacked the fuse on the pcb and that is fine. Any pointers...

Cheers guys. I'll keep you up to date with the outcome! Tanker

Hi there everyone. I have a Vokera Ecell 80SP that seems to be having problems delivering hot water. When the central heating is off, if you trun on a hot water tap no hot water is produced, the water just runs cold. When the central heating is running hot water is produced (Although I...

Thanks for the advice guys, I had certainly thought of hiring one but honestly don't mind in buying one. As I said it may be that I have the need to use one in the future. I've read up on the process of scrolling (scribbing) boards for internal corners and am quite happy to give it a go...

Guys, Wonder if any of you could offer me some advice as to which electric mitre saw to purchase. I have to replace the skirting boards in my living room (and beyond). Having tried to use a hand saw based mitre saw with limited luck I would like to purchase something a little more...

Hi all, I am having problems with my gravity hot water and pumped central heating system. I removed and replaced some pipework some time ago and since then my hot water has never worked as it once did. My hot water is poor (to say the least), I have tried a couple of system boils (based on...

Guys, Just a further update. I've had a good look at the boiler and can't seem to find a trace of a leak. Can anyone else give me some pointers? Many thanks, T

Chris, Thanks for the reply, is that on the boiler? I ask cos I had it serviced about 3 weeks ago, the engineer was here for about 10 minutes and then left with £75.00. Needless to say I questioned his hourly rate and the speed of his work. While I don't want him back an insight into where...
