    reillo oil burner no spark

    ignition transformer is part of the control box. i replaced the control box, no difference. i even checked it against another control box, PLUS put the control box i took off that old 1 onto a different burner and it worked. :?:

    potterton prima 40f issue

    boiler will go through ignition sequence but the fan only spins for a short period of time. then it stops, then it comes back on again. i had a 60f like this a week ago, replaced the fan and aps and it sorted it. but on this one, i've checked the ohms on the fan, its 65ohms so i don't think...

    how much heat does a cylinder hold?

    all the people i deal with who have wet storage heating systems complain about the cost of the electric and the cost of running them, and they are in buildings with many of these units so the mean temp hardly drops below 10 degrees in any of the flats because there are always so many units...

    Bath drain noise

    whats happening is the pipes are becoming more and more blocked up, this causes a venturi effect, where by the water is going so fast the other side of the blockage, its sucking on the trap in the bath. either put some decent drain cleaning down the plugs, i.e ONE SHOT or the sort, that you'd...

    INTEGRAL WC OVERFLOWS??

    if you remove the lid of the cistern you'll see a pop-up flush valve, the cylindrical plastic pipe that goes down to the bottom of the cistern is where the overflow ends up. they're perfectly good but you need to keep an eye on them as with time in hard water area's they internally overflow...

    Which New Oil Fired Boiler ?

    a oil condensing boiler maybe not as efficient as it is claimed but sure as hell the flue gas temp is ALOT less than standard and its certainly more efficient than a 14 year old camray.

    Britony Combi 80 makes a strange noise

    probably a catch somewhere BUT if you get it sorted and all those things checked/done for £156. thats a good price. it depends on who they send though, if the guy doesn't know what he is looking for, he may try and find a clause to get out of dealing with it. best bet is to describe what...

    HELP ! ! ~ air in system ~ bleed weekly ~ rads now cold

    when you bleed the system next time, hold a naked flame to the point where the air escapes, if it ignites, it is hydrogen I.E corrision in system. power flush would be best, but compete drain down and double does of inhibitor may cure. could be the pump/pump valves causing air to be sucked...

    Which New Oil Fired Boiler ?

    putting on a new water jacket is in my opionion money for old rope UNLESS its less than 350 quid OR the position of your boiler at present is such that it would be very expensive to replace with new condensing boiler due to flueing/pipe work locatoin. BUT if the boiler can be replaced for a...

    Britony Combi 80 makes a strange noise

    its probably the latent heat in the boiler unable to circulate out of the secondary heat exchanger. i had 1 with a VERY loud knocking and banging after shower was used for +15mins. i checked gas valve at high and low rate were correct which they weren't, needed dropping on high rate...
