Thanks Tony, You're right, the wires are uninsulated so I will keep apart. I've ordered a replacement from AK Gas Spares but needed the right directions to ensure I fitted it correctly so thanks again for your help Steve

Hi Tony, No, i didn't but asked the plumber to do it when he serviced the boiler but had a look earlier and it's the same as I left it. I've just nipped down to Plumb Centre and got a tube but when I unclipped the thermistor the two wires with the 'bulb' at the end were 'squashed' around the...

Thanks Tony, So would a pumped system have a good chance of stopping the bangin/boiling/overflowing or just a good powerflush? Also any ideas why would the problem have occured in the first place? It was fine for 6 years just the last 8 months that it's been playing up badly. Thanks...

Thanks DP, the water boils and overflows (along with banging) through the fascia overflow after about 15 mins after boiler fires. The plumber who lives at the end of our garden (not literally!) serviced the boiler but did not really give any symptom reasons or advice other than 'it could be...

Hi All, First post on a forum so please bear with me. We have a 11 year old Kinfisher MF mains gas floor mounted boiler in the garage attached to the house and over the last couple of years the boiling (kettling?) has gone from intermittent to near on every morning and evening, our system...
