I'm currently using a Honeywell Evohome system with an ageing Vaillant boiler. Thinking of having a new boiler installed soon, probably another Vaillant or a Worcester Bosch, but these seem to have their own smart controller systems and I'm not sure the Evohome would be compatible. However...

I managed to source some 1/2 inch couplers from a local plumbers. Problem sorted!

Currently have a Triton mixer shower which i am replacing with a tower shower panel. After removing the old shower I am left with, on each pipe, a female 1/2 inch brass fitting which has a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch dog leg male to male fitting. The new shower has 1/2 inch flexi pipes with female...

Thinking of having my ageing boiler replaced soon. It was installed originally in a garage mounted directly on a single skin brick wall which gets cold on winter. The garage has now been converted to habitable space fully insulated but the boiler is still in its original position with a wooden...

My current boiler is a vaillant turbomax 824 which I presume is a 24kw output. Its getting quite old now so considering having it replaced with a similar current vaillant model. Since the boiler was installed, two additional small radiators have been added. I measured all the rads in the...

Update. The boiler started working again, although intermittently. The engineer changed the impeller and all seems to be ok now. It occurred to me that a few days before the fault occurred there had been a burst water main in the area and water had been turned off for a few hours. Maybe sludge...

Engineer arrived today. My previous engineer has recently retired and he recommended this guy to continue servicing my system. Basically he opened the boiler front panel, asked me to turn on the hot water and observed that the boiler wasnt firing up. Then without any diagnostic testing he...

Yes it does fire up in warm start mode which gives us a small amount of warm water so the gas valve ignition side of things seems to be ok.

No, it stays at 0 when taps turned on.

Over the years I've gone through just about every brand of inkjet printer. Ink price is a rip off and after not very much use they dry up and end up in the skip. Then I decided to buy a laser printer, cost about £190. Had it about three years now, prints perfectly every time. Yes the replacement...

Sorry haven't had chance to check this and expecting the engineer this morning UPDATE: Engineer didnt turn up! Checked voltages again and there is 4.6v on the red. Turn the tap on and green rises to around 2.5v which I assume indictates impeller is rotating. But the boiler still does not...

Boiler is a Vaillant Turbomax plus 824e. Problem is no domestic hot water. CH works fine. When hot water tap is opened, no led or status indication on boiler, so not detecting request for hot water. Initial thoughts were a problem with the Aquasensor. Struggling to get an engineer out today...

One central power supply.

I decided to reformat the drive, and at the moment the fault seems to have cleared up, so unable to grab any images at the moment.

Just to close this off, external expansion vessel fitted today, managed to tee into return pipe. Pressure is now staying within normal levels between 1 and 1.5 bar. It was a hell of a job fitting the compression fittings to the old lead pipe. (Dont panic, I'm only kidding!)

Yes I had building regs approval. But to be honest, although the inspector visited a few times, he seemed to show very little interest. The main thing he was concerned about was fire exits from the converted garage. You need to be able to exit the new room without passing through any other room...

The fault seems to be intermittent and it's ok at the moment. If it comes back I'll get some screen shots.

Thank you!

Have had a Hikvision cctv system installed for about four years. Just recently one of the cameras, after switching to black and white infra red night vision, seems to go into a sort of ghosting image. However it is ok on daytime colour image. I powered down and rebooted the complete system and...
