Hi Yes, there is a swicthed fused spur by the tank. This is on all the time. Is this an electrical element heating device? Why would it have this as well as the 'water coil' from the boiler? When and why would i use either? thanks

how can i tell if the immersion is on? Where is the switch to turn on/off? thanks

brilliant, thanks for all your help Dave, really appreciated. Ill let you know how i get on!!

cheers, ill see if i can check out the valve operations asap. With ref to my no.2 problem about having hot water sat doing nothing. Are you saying that because the tank lets the hot water cool down by such a small amount, that the boiler wont be running often to keep the water temp up...

Hi Dave Thanks for understanding my 'learning'! LOL Just another couple of things: If I dont ever set the DHW to come 'on' on the programmer, it should never heat the hot water right? If right, then if i get hot water without ever setting it to come on, I have a problem? Possibly...

Hi, thanks for that fantastic info. Just so im sure, and not meaning to sound thick... I thought the water in the tank was heated by an electrically powered heating element, so therfore wondered why I would need a boiler. But am I right in thinking that the water in the tank is heated...

thanks, ill check that. Could you explain about why i have a boiler and a heating tank? cheers

Hi Dave Yes you are right, its new to me. Not a new build. A sticking 3 port valve will mean that the DHW and CH run together?

what year is the car? If its still got a dizzy cap and rotor arm, its probably not got any OBD

hi, the temp gauge going up and down is normal, usually a oil level indicator. the lack of hot air is probably down to low coolant level. The caps are famous for opening to soon allowing steam (and hence water) to escape. Check the level when cold. if its low, top it up, then look for...

Does it have AC? Check the clutch (AC compressor) to see if its broken, or seized.

Hi, seem to remember these having problem with the door seals leaking with wind and rain, water runs down the rubber seal and into the carpet. when you next test, really try to force the water in through the door aperatures and then once excess water has run off, open the doors and see how...

hi, is it petrol or diesel?

You say a 1994, is it the new or old model? Does it have a roof aeriel for the radio or is it on the back quarter panel? If its the later model, the heater matrix can be done without removing the whole dash, its a bit tight but it can be done. The cap on the thermostat housing is a bleed...

Hi all, My sons just moved into a flat and has one of these boilers. It has been switched off from electric and gas for a few months, ot the leccy and gas switched on, had to top up the system pressure a little (it was still showing 1 bar, so no total leak issues), pressed the reset and...

HI All, Ok, drained the boiler as advised, fairly easy, although i did find some water still came out when i took the flow swicthes out, so have some towel ready. Both swicthes had some black 'crap' on them, so i cleaned them and also the pipes they sit in. Put back together, refilled...

just an update, not had time to drain the boiler yet, prob going to wait until the morning now, just in case anything goes pear shaped! will let you know. thanks

Hi Mike, thanks for that info, will be trying it in a minute. I guess the elbow started leaking as for most of its life it stays in one position, then when it gets moved all sorts start happening. Used to happen on cars all the time, explaining it to a customer wasnt easy!! will let you...
