Thanks guys, I will start with age concern near her. Mains drainage is soooooooo much easier to deal with!

yep between hythe and camber. New soakaway sounds expensive, is that something buildings insurance covers? if not, she's stuffed as she only gets basic state pension and I'm now a 'housewife'............ alternative word for unemployed!

Thinking on it, dont see how the kitchen sink waste could go to the cess pit as it would need to go under the kitchen, living room and dinning room to get out to the back.

Thanks for the reply The guys who empted it said its a brick built cesspit typical of the design at the time. Mums bungalow is literately on the beach sand dunes for a garden so very free draining all round. Between the water meter and the drain is a concrete drive which leads to a few...

My mum lives in a bungalow built in the 1930's on the beach. Has a cesspit at the back which appears to be working fine........had a guy into check and empty.......so its not a cesspit problem. At the front of the property is a drain which is overflowing. A rainwater gutter goes into it and...

After searching google I'm unable to find out how to power the pump separately. Any links to tell/show me or can anyone tell me what to do? Happy to try it first before I move into one room and start saving :cry:

:( how much would I need to save up (London prices) to get someone to fit a new one

Just read the manual on screwfix web site and that's beyond me. If it's the pump thats gone then moving into one room with an electric heater is my only option, no money to pay for it and pay someone to fit it. If its the pump why does it spark from behind the timer?

http://www.centralheating.co.uk/Boiler-Manuals/worcester-bosch-boiler-manuals/worcester-bosch-discontinued-boiler-manuals according to the download manual for the 24i , on page 15 figure 24 it's fuse 2a slow blow fuse

The fuse that blows is on the circuit board? The timer has a wire coming out from it and goes to somewhere on the left hand side where this little fuse is. The board has 2 fuses but the other is fine....don't know what that ones for. Anything involving that timer....put it onto constant...

Thanks for the pics, my boiler is connected to the first one. That fuse did blow a few years ago but that was due to overenthusiastic cleaning in the kitchen, it got wet from the spray bottle cleaning the tiles, water ran down the tiles and into it, took several days to dry out before it...

3 different ideas or things to try, ideas please in which order to try them?

A bimbo moment dont worry I have them too :wink: How do I find out if it's an external fault?

*bimbo hat back on again* no idea how to do that, but I'm sure google can tell me, is this safe for a 'bimbo trying not to be' to do?

no xmas decs up, or diy done

Sorry *puts bimbo hat on* but is rcd the socket it is wired into that has as a fuse? if it is, then no, that hasn't blown but did replace just in case and it happens if manually operated and on timed. *still wearing bimbo hat*....is the control unit the timer?

Hello hope someone can help me, my boiler works fine for hot water but when you try to put the heating on, it sparks from the timer and the fuse blows. Tried it 3 times now, so 3 fuses later any ideas? It's in a cold damp north facing room with high humidity due to several fish tanks and the...
