Oh Dear. You are always going to have problems with that setup. The first rad doesnt look like its on a bracket

If its going cold after 5 or 6 mins then its probably not the plate. The sensors can be faulty even if they dont show an error message. Wiggling the sensors can bring up an error or if the temp changes massively as you do it also proves its faulty. Terry

Its good practice to install vents at high points. A lot of the time air can be forced through but it depends on how well the pipework has been done. If youre still hearing air then it proves that its still in your system. Air can cause huge problems in central heating systems.

The boiler will have one but the pipework rising above it also need it.

If the pipes rise above the boiler, they need automatic air vents (aav's) or at least little manual ones in them. Sounds very much like air problems.

Assuming you have an immersion, there should be a fused spur with a white flex cable coming out of it going to the cylinder. Turn if off if its on

DONT take the case off if youre not a qualified gas engineer. Have a look above the boiler to make sure the flow/return pipes are not leaking/split. If theyre ok and it seems to be inside, get someone who is gas safe to look at it.

:lol:

Or the immersion might be on

You have to change them every year too!

1) Yes 2) Not always but sometimes old fittings push olives further then new ones

There are 3 pumps on the boilermate. Did they change the primary pump (left hand pump)? Also, what speed setting is it set too as they like to be set to setting 3? Boiler rate should be increased to be able to deal with rads.

Yeah he's talking out of his arse. A new fan won't change anything. Getting a pump wet is more likely to blow the PCB fuse. It could be air but also make sure the pump is the right way round.

Cars built in the 80's dont get recalls!!

Sounds like BG had little choice. Better cold then dead. How much CO did he say it was producing?

Does it work for 10 mins again once the boiler has been reset/cooled down? Might not even be a fan problem.

you'll be lucky to get that washer off the shelf. The manufacturers are your best bet otherwise you might have no choice but to buy a new sink waste basket strainer.

Yeah I would too

I dont blame that last guy for AR'ing it though. It is below the minimum working pressure and he is covering his arse. There isnt a problem running gas pipe outside as long as it is properly supported and doesnt touch wall. It also needs to be sleeved passing through the wall and sealed on...

Its only AR if it prevents the appliance operating and the minimum gas input rating. If there is no flame lift and the gas rate is ok its NCS
