EFL, Yes it probably is WM - I am curious as to what readings should be across neutral and earth on an appliance plug ( open or closed circuit ? ) if the appliance is faulty.

Hi all, I thought this was more electric than specific appliance related. Got back to the house : electrics tripped - I turned off all individual circuit breakers, turned on the main breaker then one by one the invidual ones. The kitchen breaker for the washing machine was the culprit. I rewired...

Hi all, Some advice sought re my dear old Mum's boiler !! There is a slight "weep" coming from the housing of the top element - I got a heater element spanner and a new fibre washer BUT !! The spanner is a couple of millimeteres too big in diameter to fit into the recess. From the attached...

Hi all, My friends boiler is a Vaillant Turbomax Pro 28/2E - installed 2001. The DHW performance is quite low - only properly hot if the hot water tap is turned down low. He is not working at the moment so over a £100 plus labour for a new heat exchanger is not possible. Can someone advise...

OK - wilco

Hi all, This boiler is at my brothers house and fitted in an outside cupboard - quite old and came with the house when brother bought it a few years ago. The pilot light goes out after about 20 - 30 minutes each time with DCH on. I am not near it at the moment and there is no manual so have no...

Hi all, My old (1985) Vaillant Combi needs to go. Three bedroom Victorian mid terrace. The only external wall downstairs is the side wall of the bathroom extension - the original kitchen was widened. Tony Agile may remember - you did a repair last winter ! The boiler was installed in...

Hi all, Planning a new boiler this summer. My wife picked up a leaflet from Sainsburys advertising a new installation in partnership with BG. Has anyone here had a visit and quote from them recently ? From this forum I understand BG were overpriced. Regards

Hi all, Done a search but cannot find an answer. The five lights down the left hand side are off , of the five along the front the second one ( Wash ) is on constant - the other four are off and the on/off light on the RHS is on steady. Cannot find a clue if this relates to a fault code -...

Hi Tony, Nothing came to my inbox Regards

Hello all - following on from a previous thread re my boiler ( which Agile/Tony thankfully sorted ) The DHW is only tepid with the flow valve screwed out and hand hot with the valve screwed in. Also the DCH makes the radiators hot but not as much as they used to be. The temp dial reads 60 - it...

Still no further on sorting the Vaillant. Tony/Agile - used mobile number on your profile this morning - left a message. Also an email . Would like to arrange an appointment. If I cant get anyone to visit can some one advise how to check if the CH pump is operational ie which terminal...

Hi all again !! and Agile/Tony I depressed the pin on the gas valve and the boiler fired up for a few seconds , there was a slight banging noise then it stopped. The pressure gauge went from 1 bar to 2 bar within those three or four seconds - could this be related to the pump maybe not...

Agile/Tony - Thanks - Just tried the reset switch - sadly no effect. Did it with boiler off then on. ALEC1 - You are right about that - I wanted to get this winter out of the way and have a new installed after winter. Anyone have an idea about the mechanism behind the green press switch and...

Hi all and wondering if someone can help. The boiler is quite old but has been working OK. Now the pilot light is on but the CH and instant hot water do not kick in. The water pressure in DCH system had dropped so I refilled upto one bar but no luck. I did a search and found reference to...

Hi, A small section ( palm sized ) and quite shallow - three or four mm- of floor has crumbled. I understand from searching online that it could be repaired using " epoxy resin " - however I cannot find a specific repair kit for terrazzo . Can anyone point me in the right direction ...
