Haven't used it for a while. Took it out to start it, pulled the cord a few times, burst into life, then died when revved up. Repeated this exercise a few more times just to make sure that any crap in the old fuel would get firmly wedged where it shouldn't... Anyway, emptied the old fuel, put...

Well, apart from the fact that "nobody" knew what a PRV even was, and that 'nobody" had ever seen a boiler like this before in their life, the pipe is curled round towards the wall, with only a few millimetres clearance - there was no splashing, no drama, no huge pooling of water, and nothing to...

Thank you

Don't think so, but drips all the time.. I thought briefly it was condensate pipe (don't laugh) but the large rust patch where the water flows against the wall disabused me of that fleeting notion. I should imagine when the pump is on the water flows in and almost straight out again... well, not...

Never know yer Donald Duck, Nozzle.. truth be told, I'll be happy to get the mystery solved and the excess paid for before the water company decide to increase my direct debit to a hundred quid a month of they think my usage is excessive

Well this is the thing - it's ****ing out of this pipe onto a little raised walled patio thing that looks like a paddling pool... I took a 20mm masonry drill and found the deepest point and drilled a hole in it to let it leak out... garden will be a bit damp, but it's always bloody wet here...

I'll take a picture when I get home... which will be about half ten... :D

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

I would love that to be true Harry, but I am fairly sure (not 100% mind...) that the meter measures in cubic metres - so 240 to 272 is a f*&^load of water... enough to fill a 5m by 3m pool to a depth of 2m.. It seems a lot doesn't it...

Thanks for this. I need to flush them anyway because they are bloody useless as they are and I don't want any crap in the boiler - but the pressure is over 3 and in the red..

I'll take a look at filling loop when I get home... if memory serves, it is at the side, and valves are in open position I think...

My experience with oil fired boilers is zero, and although I can find some material on how to increase the pressure, I don't see anything that says how to get it down. Do you think the fact that two of the large radiators are blocked with sludge (I believe) could be a factor in this? I mean if I...

32 cubic metres of water is 32 tonnes isn't it? there's a thousand litres in a cubic metre of water I think...

Meter said 240 on 6th December, says 272 today...

Cheers bud - as an aside, it says pressure is supposed to be between 1.5 and 2.5 - this is over 3... sounds a tad high...?

Hi guys, We recently moved into a property with a water meter and oil-fired central heating - not that the two are connected but we had neither before... anyway, the boiler is a heatslave ii, only a few years old (3, I believe) and has two pipes coming out through the external wall - one is a...

Thank you for that Bernard. I did take a few pictures but the nub of the matter is that, from looking at the plate on the side of the oven, it is 2.8 kW 240v, 50Hz - so a standard 3 pin plug. I can only assume that what I surmised before was true - that the previous owners believed that, as an...

Thank you for that. I think perhaps previous owners felt it should have the 6mm cable . It is just a single oven - hob is separate. I'll have a look at model number etc then a bit of research and see if it's supposed to be supplied by 13amp plug or large cooker socket, and remove one or the other

What I am doing? All I am doing is connecting the supply to my oven. I haven't added to it, jerry-rigged it, or done anything else to it. The oven has a 6mm cable coming out of it that is wired to a cooker socket, and it has a 4mm flex with a standard 3-pin plug on it. I didn't make it - this is...
