no drain valve on the boiler either. I've left the boiler/heating off for an hour or so and when i turned it all back on again, the boiler fired up, started heating and after a few minutes the overheat switch popped out and the boiler shut down :( Rang EON and they will be out Sunday (£50...

i think i'm just going to turn off the boiler and heating and give eon a call in the morning.

there is what looks like a drain tap in the airing cupboard. It looks like it comes off the immersion tank; all other pipework is hidden. (the boiler powers the central heating and the immersion tank powers our hot water; not a combi system).

OK, i googled "drain tap" and none of the rads have this on. They are Danfoss radiators. As for post above - i am with EON heating plan. I'll give them a call in the morning if i can't sort it tonight. Thanks for all the replies.

Sorry, i don't know what this looks like! Alls the rads are the same (i think).

oh god! Now the pump in the airing cupboard is making nosies it hasn't made before!

it's strange that all i did was bleed the one radiator (everything was working fine before this) and now none of the rads work and the boiler is cutting out.

OK, there are 2 x tanks in loft, (large and small). The smaller one is about 1/full.

Hey all, I think i have knackered my boiler / radiators and could do with some help! The boiler is a Gloworm ultimate - i do not know the model number as i can't see anything written on the boiler and the last occupants haven't left us any manuals! The bottom tray slides out for the...

sorted - needed brute force to get the thing out. Didn't realise i should be cleaning this on a regular basis.

I have a Zanussi zwf 1621w and when it is finished its wash we get 2 x beeps and some of the water isn't drained. A check of the manual indicates that the pump may be blocked (2 x beep error code). The manual says in the bottom right corner of the machine, open the service flap...

OK, 3 cables come from the flex - blue and earth are connected to element and brown was connected to thermostat. Coming out from other side of thermostat was the white cable which again connects to the element. When i removed the thermostat i undid the white and brown cable and the...

no one? i'm stuck now then; lol!

ok, i've took the thermostats out and now have 2 x BT7 thermostats. On the net i have found these: http://www.theelectricalcompany.co.uk/search.php?xSearch=bt7 Are these OK to use? Or can anyone recommend a better one? Also, when i took them out, there were 2 wires going into...

forget it. Spoke to the previous owner and apparently he left his coupling at the end of the pipe. I undid the clip and the connector part fell out, leaving the correct part to connect to the waste trap. :oops: :oops: :oops:

OK, complete newbie and struggling with a basic problem. Under my sink has this type of trap: I have been given a second hand dishwasher whose waste pipe hose is like this: The pipe does not fit over the spiggot! I have no idea what is available to rectify this - can...

You're not the first to recommend this - ok, so looking at the set up i have, what would this cost and who would do it?!

OK, at 2am, i switched off the top switch due to the problem. This morning we had no hot water. I then stitched on the bottom switch and a few hours later we have correct temperature hot water. Should i leave the bottom one switched on and just use the top for quick bursts? Or do you think...

no, no pictures above or near the switches.

frick, i was hoping you wouldn't say that!! When we fitted the upstairs one, we tried it and it was all working. We then sunk the plate in the wall and painted/masked around it. To take it out, means a lot of re-doing work to put it back again :( I will speak with wifey tonight and see if...
