As Max Bygraves used to say - "I wanna tell you a story.". This week car electrics went. Yesterday dishwasher stopped working. Last night boiler packed in! Saw there was a leak from diff. valve. Dismantled and cleaned pins/stuffing box (will get new diaphragm on Monday)...

Posted recently (thanks for the replies) regarding 6 flashes error code. dismantled, cleaned just about everything and several resets. Tried rinse cycle that I assume bypasses nct temp probe (if not can it be tested?) but error code persists. I want to check the reed switch. How do I remove...

The dishwasher fills then after a short time the cancel light flashes 6 times and the water is pumped out before any wash/rinse cycle starts. The cancel light continues to flash 6 times at regular intervals. This happens on all cycles including cold water rinse. I have tried...

Hi, help needed identifying parts. Small leak when boiler off from what appears to be the system bypass, (3 screws, diaphragm, spring, 2 union nuts,) located under pump. I assume from the slightly brown sticky leak that diaphragm has perished. Seems a fairly straightforward job if I can...

I need to replace a leaking radiator. The tail to the TRV is a gland type with 3/4 union. Can I fit the tail from the old radiator to the new one to avoid replacing TRV and partial drain down? Thanks.

No hot water with CH turned off. Only noticed this the other day after a drain down to replace rad valve and some piping. Refilled/bled system all seemed to be fine HW and CH with switch set to CH. Finally decided to bleed main heat exchanger - no air or water came out. Checked bleed on...

Old big house with two combi boilers - one for upstairs, one for downstairs. The system for downstairs has one rad in the bathroom upstairs. So highest point on the circuit. I had to fit a 2 new rads downstairs and whilst the system was drained decided to replace the one in the bathroom...

Hoping that Bunnyman and The831Bunny can help me again. (Nice to know you got it sorted Mike. If there's anything in the future, just shout me or Bunnyman.) The boiler "WE" fixed together is working fine after replacing water valve and flow switch. But now the other boiler is playing...

Vaillant 20/1 T3 W Combi, Randall 103 timer, no room thermostat. C/H and H/W all work fine. Noticed that controls on timer were not working so switched timer to another Randall 103 I knew to be working. (2 identical boilers and timers side by side – big old house). Same problem, so not the...

Built 1900, Rear of house south west facing. All the wood is sound original pitch pine (still oozing resin in places). The front is fine but the back with the sun on it sheds paint and needs re-doing every couple of years. I have gone back to bare wood, primed, undercoated, glossed and prayed to...

First post so hope this is ok. Vaillant VWC 20/1 T3W combi. I have maintained this old boiler for a number of years but am stuck. Hot water works fine. CH - boiler fires for 3 secs then goes off. This repeats every 20 mins or so. Stripped differential valve, all ok. Pump working OK...
