Yep, working a treat

All sorted fault was with the cable to my disconnected hot tub cable that has managed to arc. thanks for all the help folks, very much appreciated!!

thank Andy, I have plugged in the available appliances, fridges, hot tap that I can get access to. All working fine! The others are all built in behind the kitchen units hence the isolation switches for microwave, oven, dishwasher etc. I will have a go at disconnecting the other circuits and...

Thanks for the reply Flameport. Is it commom for a fault to arise in a fairly static environment? Nothing has been touched or moved since install. Cheers Dougie

Hi, need some help please. I have a separate consumer box for my kitchen, with a separate ring main (had an extension built) The electric set up was done by a mate who is a spark (he isnt available) and the CU was set up accordingly to cope with all demand. Today, and out the blue the CU...

Thanks Tony And I take it if it is more than 11, then there is a flow issue? Dougie

Thanks for the reply Tony, where is the best place to check the differential? Sorry if that sounds a dumb question? I had actually contemplated getting a IR Temp Gauge to balance the system. It was suggested to me to actually hook up the cold water mains to the cold water feed to power...

Hi Folks, Been having a few problems with my central heating lately, and I have exhausted all bar one possible cause, Cold Feed Blockage, however I'm not convinced its this due to the clarity of the water. When I drained the system at the beginning of the week, it was dark, but not black and...

Thanks Terry, thought that might have been the diagnosis. Would this be responsible for the short firing in the boiler? Cheers Doug

Hi I have mains voltage going into the circuit board on both orange and white, however there is nothing coming off the board to the orange wires feeding the motor. The orange to the board only read 240v when hot water was selected at the controller so it seems that is working ok. I...

I will get my meter out and check it. The only way I can get it to fire normally is by turning the temp down on the boiler, and the water temp up on the hot water tank, and putting the 3 port valve into manual mid. Or, that's how it was working at the weekend. I haven't tried it since I...

no, it seems stuck on this cycle of short firing..

Ok, so shut down the system, ran the hot water away and took the cover off the 3 port valve. Switched the system back on and selected hot water on the controller....the valve did not move at all..it might have already been on W...no way of telling. Left it 30 seconds and then selected...

Hi Terry Thanks for the reply. How would I check for correct operation? I still had it locked on Manual, but just let it out....but the push button on the side has fallen out, so I have no indicator telling me if it is in W, M, H? Switched system off for 5 minutes, restarted, boiler...

Hi Folks A few months ago, my boiler began firing for about 3-5 seconds then recycling, and doing the same continuously. Ultimately, the fan packed in and was replaced with a new one and the system was actually operating a lot better and warmer than previously. 5 days ago, the boiler...

Ok, so one step forward, two steps backwards. I followed the motorised valve failure guide under the FAQ section, and it worked. Heating came on a was fine. Bought and just fitted a Wilo Yonos Pico, and it seems to be working fine. Just stripped the old pump and it was well worn with metal...

Hi Pete Took the disc off as suggested, however the stop cocks on either side of the pump cannot be functional as the water continued to pour out the inspection hole. Unfortunately the way the pump is positioned, I cannot see into the hole to see if the screw is turning although it feels as...

Hi Pete Thanks for the response. I think you might be right. The pump isn't running as normal and the airing cupboard where it is located, along with the hot water tank is boiling hot, can't actually touch the pipes... Is there anyway to check the pump before swapping it out for a new...
