Spot the person who has never had the combustion chamber door off on a 30 CXi if thats the best you can come up with ...:whistle:

The cistern can't be raised as it is already tight up against the shelf above it. Were it possible to get a fitting that does an immediate 90 degrees out of the cistern it would work OK, but I can't see myself finding one. The alternative is to get a chippy to cut the shelf out and put in a low...

A bathroom company (no longer trading) installed a wet room and raised the toilet pedestal. The outlet from the concealed cistern is a flexi which now has its own U bend forced into it and leaks. Hopefully here is a photo. Any ideas beyond pulling the whole lot out and putting in a new non...

My advice is not to flush it. Then your heating will most likely break down in the summer which apparently is no problem for you. Alfredo

It does seem to me that nobody has thought of how these variable pumps can affect a system that is less than perfect. When the original Grundfos Alpha came out we fitted lots, and we too found that there was a tendency in some cases for the boiler to lockout on overheat as presumably the pump...

Seeing as you don't want a debate. The only question you actually ask is "Are Stelrad any Good?" To which the answer is. Yes. Good luck with the rest. Alfredo

Seeing as nobody has succeeded in fixing the boiler so far I don't see a problem in Ideal technical offering support to get them going in the right direction. I have an Ideal Turbo 2.18....still trogging along happily after 21 years now. :lol: :lol: Alfredo

So its possible that the original system was just pumping round the HW cylinder until the boiler stat was satisfied and the 2 port was wired up to a roomstat for the radiators....? Seen that a few times on naff housing developments penny pinching. All the same..if the installer you used...

I'd just put some more inhibitor in mate. You never know. Well whoever put that in obviously never knew either. If my budgerigar did an install like that I'd still sack him. Alfredo

You choose which you would prefer: 1) To Run Pipe internally. Move furniture, carpets/flooring drill holes in floors, lift floorboards across X number of rooms and landings......put your pipe in, test it and put everything back 2) To run pipe externally. Whack a few clips on the wall...

A local lad here spent nearly £10k getting 'qualified' as a plumber on one of these so called 'plumbing courses', and he bought a new van on finance. I was actually a bit 'spooked' by him as he seemed to be doing OK and I was seeing his van in far too many places. He even asked for my help on...

Sun? ... in Glasgow ?... :wink: Alfredo

Oh FFS...just drop a couple of suggestions in the shell like of any visiting engineer 1) ****2) ****..which is quite an unusual setup. Either can stop the boiler. There's at least an 80% chance thats all it is. It was never the fan if a new one didn't fix it. Have I given away state...

Go for a Caronite one as suggested earlier. You will not regret it. I did regret it as I put a Caronite one in my own house then sold the house. In my new house its a fairly new plastic jobby so too young to chuck away, and it does its job etc, but I genuinely miss the caronite one as it...

Manuf Instructions only show 2 on and offs. Where are the other 4 ? Alfredo

Yea yea...but I may have found the..or at least an answer to this one. Its a downstairs cylinder and they keep trying to regenerate the air bubble using a hot tap which is no lower than the cylinder and thus the bubble in the cylinder never gets replaced. I'l drain from cyclinder drain cock...

I'm familiar with the loss of air bubble problem on Megaflows. Is it ever curable without installing an external PV or is that simply just the way to go for a permanent cure. Client needs convincing, and I don't do or see enough of these things to be authoritative on whats best to cure it of...

I don't really care if its Guy The Gorilla posting, makes no difference to me. :lol: :lol: :lol: Alfredo

I think most people on here are bang out of order. You do not try and take it out on the customer under any circumstances for using a scheme such as Warmfront. If you have dirty linen you want aired because you have a chip on your shoulder about the scheme then do it within the industry where it...

You old skinflint. Are you so green that you don't keep a few pennies in your pockets for just such eventualities, In social housing this comes up now and again so you just give them 1p for the electric you used. What are they going to do...complain. It certainly shuts them up. Alfredo
