Thanks. Take it that is why it's using so much oil!! I think I will find someone else to set it up correctly..... The company that did are offcom registered however the person that carried out the boiler repair was an apprentice type person and had no idea what to do, constantly on the...

Thanks for quick reply here are the answers to your questions Time- two full fills of boiler . We have switched off all radiators bar two in the house and it is still using more than before when all radiators were on.... There is soot on the flue You can smell when the boiler is on (...

Hi I hope someone can help me get to the bottom of this problem. Heatslave 20/25 oil boiler has started using about double the oil that it used to. Boiler is about 12 years old, cant see or smell any leaks. This has only started since I had an "engineer" diagnose why the heating was not...

Finally got that secondhand valve off eBay delivered this morning, fitted in five minutes and all seems (fingers crossed) to be working A ok! A big big thank you to all the guys that helped me out with this problem. Much appreciated AO :D Knowing my boiler I will be back soon for...

John don't worry about it mate, just glad I'm getting help and hope I can fix it myself as the engineer that fitted a new pump for me must of had the middle name Dick Turpin! Don't want to use him again if I can help it!

Thank you I would never have found that ! :D

You would not have a link to it would you as I've had a look and could not find it. Please!

Thanks for info however the problem with my valve seems to be that the gear bit that turns under the synchron motor in in pieces! I am unsure if any parts are missing. Looks like a spring has come off and motor smells a bit burnt out also. I take it no one does an aftermarket valve..... Huh...

Ah ...... This could be the problem then... I bought what I was advised to buy.. My fault. I did notice the new one toolstation28639 does have two micro switches inside and the original only has one.! You said I could just change the internals, does this still apply or should I just return...

Anyone any idea on the correct wiring for this replacement unit?

Yes to which?

Anybody?? :?

Thanks for reply Not sure what the boulder valve is but will investigate ! I do not have a wall stat in the house. If the hot water is working does that mean that the circulation pump is working ok or does the circulation pump only work the heating side of things?

Oops I never locked the old valve before taking it off! Sh*t :oops:

John , you ARE the man! So if I buy a 3 port head (28639) all I need to do is unbolt the original units two screws and replace it with (28639)! Correct? Is there a way of double checking that this is defiantly a faulty unit before buying one ? I have taken off the motor bit (head) and under...

Thanks John for your quick reply There was a clicking noise from that motor if we are talking about the same thing? ( above the pump with a three way pipe thing under it) Can this be purchased on its own or do I need to replace whole unit, pipe also. Rough Price?
