Im not sure about the pipe being 22mm i will need to measure it. There is only about 1 meter between the top boiler pipe and the bottom cylinder pipe. They are in line with each other so no distance horizontally. Oh and i would forget about swithching the feeds if you gave me other ideas...

So what do you suggest i do to fix the problem? The boiler itself has an inbuilt thermostat. Its like a thin wire connected to the top of the heat exchanger. This wire then runns down to the thermostat situated next to the timer and controlls. Even if i was to adapt the pipework for the...

Bump! Anyone?

Thanks. 1. wareleads - sorry but i don't understand what you are saying. And also i don't have the money to replace the system so am doing my best to fix it. 2. Kevindgas - Thanks for all your suggestions. However i don't think the system is plumbed as you say. I have drawn a rough...

To fit your own boiler? Mines pretty old and has issue. Im a competent mechanic and recon i could fit a boiler no problem. But is it legal. Do i need to be qualified by law?

Hi. The other problem in my other post is only when running the hot water and not the rads. Anyway do you have any clues as to where the pump may be installed. i.e is it usually at ground level or could it even be up in the loft? Im guessing its near radiators. Will it be miles away from the...

Hi thanks for the reply. 1st i think we may have crossed wires. Yes my pump is also shagged but this only powers the radiators and i had the hot water problem long before the pump gave up. The Hot water system is gravity fed. Yes my water cylinder has a coil. No i dont have an imersion. I...

Please ignore this post. I duplicated it by mistake and cannot see how to delete it. So if your a mod please delete.

First i will explain the problem. I have a standard gas boiler that runs the radiators and hot water. The radiators have always ran fine. However the indirect water system has issues. When heating the water the system will heat and heat until the water boils and has no other option to rise up...

Ive not used my radiators for a couple of months now. I went to put them on the other day and it seems that my pump has seized. It spun for a few seconds then jammed. However the wire for the pump seems to disapear under the floorboads of the next room and i dont fancy pulling up the carpet and...

Hi there. Im having problems with my hot water as i belive the hot water cylinder is scaled up badly. I was thinking i could just add some descaler to the tank via the emersion hole, leave for 24 hours then flush the lot out and allow the tank to re fill. Is this a good or bad idea?

Yeah i noticed that when i did an internet search. Scary stuff! Got a call from the boiler people today. They are re-visiting to add a chemical de-scaler to the system as its making a kettling noise.

Thanks Joe. Another guy came out yesterday. He cleaned out the boiler and said it should be ok now. But to be honest i think its just the same. We do get hot water but not much and id like it hotter. Plus it takes about 3 or 4 hours for it to heat up again once used. The water cylinder...

Ive already had 1 guy out who didnt even check anything then said i needed a whole new boiler. I didnt trust him so have arranged for somebody else to visit today. I will report back my findings.

Hi. Ive just moved into a new property and nearly everything went to plan. However there are problems with the central heating. The system is a Thorn Olympic gas boiler with hot water cylinder and header tank upstairs. The radiators come on and work a treat. However the hot water is not...
