    chronic air in radiators and concurrent boiler pressure rise - combi

    Still needs flushed again to remove corrosion. To get it all out 100% is a time consuming job. Depends on pipe runs etc if drop feed then each leg needs drained to endure all crap out. You may never get it all out.

    Ideal Classic FF250 issues

    Ps the neutral point is where the cold feed from F&E tank joins into system. Usually on a 22-15 tee at the cylinder return. Run a magnet over the copper pipe. If it sticks or is attracted to pipe then it’s full of sludge(iron magnetite) as magnet shouldn’t stick to copper.

    Ideal Classic FF250 issues

    Get a better engineer. You either have a intermittent sticking pump. or you have a blockage in the cold feed at the neutral point on your system or a blockage elsewhere.

    22m Gas Supply

    As said above it’s not the Size of the pipe it’s the dynamic working gas pressure at inlet with boiler on max and other gas appliances on. you are allowed a 1mbar drop over pipe run from meter dynamic pressure. So if meter is 19mbar with appliances on then you are allowed 18mbar at boiler...

    Have I been Conned ?

    Yes really, it has been opened up to others but mostly sold in Scotland by Mr Central Heating. It’s called the combi exclusive when sold through most other outlets.

    Have I been Conned ?

    They are all 24kw to heat. It’s the hot water delivery that changed with higher outputs not the heating. Couldn’t tell you warranty but only 12yr warranty is for vogue max by accredited installer

    British Gas HomeCare refusing to fix boiler unless customer agrees to PowerFlush

    L3 is no flow thermistor fault. This could be pump, plate hex or main hex. L5 is return thermistor fault. But could be due to engineer disconnecting stat at some point as boiler stores fault codes. if they fitted and maintained it from new (and you haven’t drained rads for decorating etc) then...
