I have a Baxi105e that is making a noise when the pre-heat is in oporation. It sounds like there is air inside the pump. Otherwise, everything is working ok, including the hot water and heating. I thought there was an auto-bleed somewhere. If there is, its not working. Can I sort this myself or...

I have a Baxi 105e instant. I had it serviced and noticed a couple days after the engineer had gone that the pump was running constantly even after it had done the heat res cycle. I called the guy back who says it may be the board but the company he works for just wanted to sell me a new boiler...

After a couple of calls from our friends from British Gas (on contract) which was unsuccessful in the fix, I had a...

Hi to all. I have a Baxi 105e instant combi boiler that has served us well since 2004. In that time it has of course had interval services and has been pretty much bullet proof. There is also a proper water softener in the house that feeds everything, except of course, the cold feed over the...

Hi. I have a new water softener, all fitted and ready to go. I've read the set-up instructions but I just need an experienced opinion on a small but probably important point. The unit is a series 255 valve/460i. I have the time set and I have the hardness set to 26. The last bit is the setting...
