picasso > I would upgrade to a 28kw combi, the 24 is underpowered in my umble opinion. alanthomaswaterson> looking at Vaillant's website the 24 is only really for a one bed, one bath layout. For anything larger the 28 is, supposedly, better suited. We had a phone call from a BG Engineer...

Alan, we have not confirmed with BG yet, but the price for the Vaillant EcoTec Pro 24kw HE Condensing combination boiler is £730.87. Regarding the 24Kw/28Kw, we are going on the advice of the BG Engineer, why would he undersell?

Well twgas, Mick, if you read my original question, "Within the quote is the installation of a new "fused spur. the present electrics for the boiler come via a dedicated, normal 13amp plug and socket. Why must it be replaced, it is a spur and it is fused?", and then the comment from Picasso...

picasso. and everyone, Thank you for your interest, for nearly 25 years I have had the same boiler, a Glow-worm Fuel saver 35F, purely for the central heating. The total output required for that boiler, for the radiators was 33780btu. and it has always been very reliable. When the BG...

I'm sorry everyone, at the start I should have said that it would be a Vallant EcoTec Pro 24kw High Efficiency Condensing Combi Boiler. At the end of the day, if BG do install it, I will get a new fused spur, I just wondered why and what the difference was?

I have just been given a quote for a new boiler by Britsh Gas. I have had the current one for over 20years. Within the quote is the installation of a new "fused spur". The present electrics for the boiler come via a dedicated, normal 13amp plug and socket. Why must it be replaced, it is a...

DP, thanks for your comment, I have an engineer calling tomorrow (Friday). I'll keep an eye open for the gas check that you mention. I wonder if because of its age (over 25 years), spares are still available. as well as for the Glow-wormFuel saver F which was installed a bit later...

Thanks 45yearsagasman, We have had the same Service Engineer for well over 20 years looking after this boiler, in fact his son has grown from a small child and now has his own qualifications and works with him. Anyway the boiler has been serviced every year since new, this year we held back...

Hello, We have a Main Medway Boiler which has been serviced annually, but not for the last 15months. We have noticed that during the last four or five days, the water has got very hot. During a shower, which has a mixer tap, it is not now possible to get an even temperature. It is the...

I should have said that the reason that I am responding so late is because I have been away.

Just thought that I would update my question.. I took most of the advice given here, went to my local reputable back street garage, with the vauxhall parts approx £60 (the oil was £40). The garage, who have serviced my other Corsa's over the years, did the service for £23.50 (30 mins labour)...

Thank you all once again, I am convinced! The car is due for service at the end of the month, 30th May, and I will be away until the 27th, I'll get the parts before I go, suss out the garage and report back after the event, i.e. 31st! I am very, very grateful.

Thanks Burnerman, now I'm a bit concerned. I bought the car because I'm 73 and this will probably be my last one, hence to attempt to be sensible about servicing. I think that the warranty is for three years already, my last automatic Corsa I had for eight years, without any problem. I am...

Thank you! You have both brightened up what would otherwise have been a dull and expensive day (mentally speaking). In part of the letter reminding me it says, and I am sorry it is so long, but I would value your Comments. "Having your vehicle serviced within the dealer network not only...

2009 Corsa Club Automatic 1400cc 10,000 miles Last May I bought the above car, and am very pleased with it. Today I contacted the Vauxhall dealership about its first service and was told the charge would be £195.00 inc. vat. I asked what their hourly rate was and what was I getting for...

I have a Reginox lift and turn kitchen tap, it was installed less than a year ago. It is now becoming rather hard to turn and lift, and makes a slight rubbing noise. any ideas please? tia

Thank you every one for your input, it will be very usefull I'm sure. Tibbot, What I am saying is this, if one of the boilers goes down tomorrow I cannot replace it with the same product due to the current regulations (I was told a couple of years ago). I will not have time to go seeking...

thanks transam, I thought that it might be a combination boiler, but would you know what size (output) I would be looking for? When I look at them the output varies quite a lot, so does the cost. Bearing in mind that the output for the present heating boiler, the Glow-worm Fuelsaver F...

I have two boilers in my house, A Glow-worm Fuelsaver F - for the central heating, supplying 7 radiators at 9.962kwts, the other a Main - Medway Super for hot water, Both do an excellent job , but the life of each must be nearing its end. My question is - what sort of single boiler...
