Just trying to get my head around it robmorris! After comparing the 2 wiring diagrams I have made the following observations: Only one side of the junction box needs changing - the connections to the room stat, cylinder stat and 3 way valve stay the same. Only four terminals of the...

Thank you. I'll try to get my head around all of this, hopefully I won't be back with more questions but we'll see...

Thanks for taking an interest D_Hailsham - much appreciated! Ok, yes I have a mid position valve, in the airing cupboard. I'm 99% sure it's a Honeywell V4073. Not the best photo - sorry! I believe there is a junction box, also a Honeywell item. It's in the airing cupboard -...

I have an old Myson Apollo Fanfare 15/30 with what I'm sure is a Y plan system. Now, the programmer (which I replaced like for like a few years ago) is playing up again so I would like to replace it with something with more flexibility such as the Honeywell ST9400C. I assume this is an easy...

Unfortunately (it seems) I have the above size gutter on my house. The problem is I need new parts but cannot find anywhere that sells this size! Is it no longer available? Or am I looking in the wrong places? Any help much appreciated!

Top bombing! Thanks to everyone who's posted a reply. This info has made me feel like a have a slight clue what i'm doing now! Quick, clear replies, I like it! This really is a great site! :D

Nice one, thanks Crank - simpleton terms are probably best for me! Last question! Should you adjust each pair of screws equally?

Thanks Bullet, great answer! And thanks for the warning on the soft metal screws :D just one question what do you mean by the 'door sash'?

[/url] Can't see this particular type of hinge on that site. Can't find much info on this type of hinge full stop! Cheers anyway :)

Can anyone tell me what the each of the 3 screws on this type of hinge do adjustment wise? Many thanks in advance :D

Thanks guys. If it is a little rubber ball there's a possibility then, that it could have deformed allowing water to go through both outlets, irrespective of what position the valve is in. Anyhow, tried Mandate's suggestion - both pipe to cylinder and pipe to rads became hot when the...

Cheers Mandate, I will give it a go. Out of interest, can anyone tell me what type of valve is used in a 3 port valve? I'd like to at least try and understand how one could fail due to wear/sludge :|

So with power connected this doesn't happen and when removed the valve head/actuator works so it has to be the actual valve that's at fault?

I can turn the spindle freely, although it has very limited movement - aout 10 degrees I'd say.

So when I switched off the boiler to remove the valve head, the manual switch should of returned to the HW/rest position? Or with the programmer switched to HW only, it should also move to this position?

Ok just checked this on the kitchen radiator, on the opposite wall to the boiler (programmer is on boiler). Put the programmer on HW only and felt both pipes on rad, as soon as one started warming up I quickly switched programmer to CH and HW (it's a basic programmer with just HW or HW and...

Thanks for the quick response Dan. So the fact that the manual lever on the valve doesn't return to the rest position does not necessarily indicate a problem with the 3 port valve? This plumbing and heating mullarky is all new to me having just got myself on the housing ladder so excuse...

Evening everyone! Looking for some advice regarding the Honeywell V4073 3 port valve. When the HW is on the CH is on too. I have looked at the valve and the manual lever is not returning to the rest position. With the valve head removed the lever can be operated under firm pressure and will...

Thanks for the reply boilerman. The existing programmer is very similiar to this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Thorn-Apollo-Programmer-Kit-(Grey)-B4161_W0QQitemZ220630572342QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=155293182059&query=%7Bquery%7D&fitem=220630572342&linkin_id=8060231&mt_id=635&kw=%7Bquery%7D Only...
