Some sort of rupture between the combustion circuit, and the hot water/heating circuit? It was making loud moaning noises until the injector was put back in, that's why i thought something might be breaking

Thanks. I'm less worried about repairs...the boiler seems to be working fine anyway now that the injector is back in. I've been more concerned about safety effects/contamination for householders, from having had the injector out for many months

Hi and thanks. Now that the injector is back in, it has stopped making the loud noise My concern is more if there could be any on-going safety issues caused by the months of "misuse" until the injector was put back in, in terms of gases released or quality of the water.

Hi all, Turns out our fairly new 40 kW combi, has been running without the injector for months. The gas engineer forgot it when he swapped the gas valve out last year. So the boiler (Ideal Vogue Max) has been running without one for several months, and also making loud noises. The injector is...

Not specifically, no. It's more into gaps in floorboards, walls/skirting boards, around pipework - and I don't know what wiring is lurking behind/underneath which is what worries me ! As I don't have visibility behind said gaps.

Hi all, In the process of mouse-proofing a victorian house internally, I have used steel wool to seal all possible gaps throughout. However I've been advised this can be dangerous, as any exposed electrical terminals can ignite steel wool and start it burning. I've tested the theory myself (9...

Hi all We have a slightly damp Victorian wall drying out and need to re-plaster internally. Current gypsum plaster is ruined, so am going to re-plaster with lime plaster which will aid drying (we don't have several months to wait while it fully dries alas!). The question is: once all the...
