I guess I'd better check the headlap of the tiles on the existing roof.

Hi Can anyone tell me if Redland 52 tiles are suitable for a roof with a 28 degree pitch? We're having an extension build and I'd like the tiles to match the house. Thanks

Ok I got my answer by searching around a bit. Baluns dont use IP but there are more expensive devices that do.

Hi, I'm installing a wired network into my house so that I can stream content to the tv's and so that any smart tv's that I buy will be able to connect to the internet without the risk of rubbish bandwidth over wifi. I'm going to use HDMI to Cat5 converters and wondered whether they use TCP/IP...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the DHW EXV modification is on the Ariston Genus 27? My EXV is knackered and I want to check if the mod has been done before getting it replaced so that I don't have to shell out again in 12 months. Thanks

What is the modification DP? How can I tell if it has already been done? I want to be sure before getting the EXV replaced.

Thanks 1983, I'll work a little more on the flowrate vs temp settings. I'll get the 7 bar valve and the leaky EXV replaced and see where we are. I was going to replace it with an Intergas combi but money is being diverted elsewhere at the moment. I also like the idea of an unvented cylinder...

Hi 1983 So I semi closed the isolator and I can visibly tell that the flow rate has gone down. I set the HW temp to just below half and its now difficult to hold my hand under the tap. The boiler stays fired up as long as the tap is flowing. When i turn the tap off, the boiler continues to run...

HI 1983 It took 70 seconds to light the 80 led. The boiler stopped heating at 3 mins 30 seconds but didn't cycle. I checked the water and could keep my hand under. I would say 45 to 50 degrees. The water temp is set to minimum on the boiler.

Thanks 1983. I'm doing that now. I'll post back when I've emptied the cylinder of hot water.

I've turned down the temperature control to minimum to see whether the boiler still heats to 80 degrees. That should indicate a faulty thermistor (possibly)...right? I don't really want to turn the heating on cos I haven't got any rads connected. I'm doing the house up and going to replace...

I videoed the fault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8ykNbmMzfM&feature=youtube_gdata_player The water is reasonably hard here.

That's a long way to go for a meal. I take it London is not your only place of residence? So i'll replace the anode as a precaution but what might be causing the cycling. Thanks

Would replacing the anode resolve the cycling? Ill take the other faults in isolation.

I'm a good 15 miles from Warwick but I'll take that as a recommendation. I like a good Balti. Both yourself and dc have suggested the heat exchanger. Sounds like a likely cause. :idea:

Hi Tony, The boiler has a 60 litre unvented cylinder inbuilt. I already replaced the 3 bar PRV in error and later established that it's the 7 bar temp and pressure valve on the unvented cylinder that is leaking. I'll try to let the water out of the EXV and pump it up. Does that explain the...

Hi dc Yes it stops cycling when it reaches temperature at the same time as the pump stops running. It does run out of hot water if you shower for too long. Like it cant keep up with dhw delivery. I've also noticed the burner dims before it goes out.

Hi, I'm trying to keep my Ariston Genus 27 going but noticed recently that whilst the DHW is heating, the burner keeps going out then relighting. The pump continues to run and this happens until the water reaches the required temperature. The DHW expansion vessel requires replacement since...

I only need a dozen to fill in where I removed a chimney.

They're not made anymore so none of the regular ones. Tried the local reclaimers but was hoping that someone who actually had some might read this post.
