Thanks Bob... it does help

Thanks I will... sorry about that last question I was asking about how it can be done, not how its done on my system.. me grammer iz terrible :D Thanks for the help by the way...

Thanks... How does the 'hot water/ heating and hot water' work from the timer. is it opening a motorised valve or something

Thanks for that. I like the idea of drilling into the centre and cutting in. I guess you would cut out a slice of the thread and then squeeze whats left of the element so it breaks away from the cylinder thread? It was a new boiler fitted to an old system by the way. The pipes to the...

It was fitted 5 months ago by a corgi registered engineer and I/anyone else has done nothing to it since it was installed. The timer was fitted when I bought the house so it could be 10+ years old or more

:D I'm sure you can get hot water only but how do i stop the radiators getting hot at the same time if my timer only has an 'on/off' selection and not a 'water/off/water and heating' selection? i know i could put thermostatic valves on the radiators but I am trying to avoid having to go round...

I do mean the element. I have had a plumber try and remove the element and he didn't want to force it and split the tank. He left me to think about what to do as forcing it could possibly lead to me having to replace the complete tank. He is involved on another job for 2 weeks now. Before...

Gravity fed system. Indirect coil cylinder. GlowWorm Micron 40FF Fanned Flue Boiler. Boiler in kitchen on ground floor, cylinder in cupboard in bathroom on first floor. Bathroom rad has no thermostatic valve so will act as a bypass.. I think? The element in the hot water cylinder has gone...

Sorry about that but i seem to have fixed it anyway. I stripped the tap down and greased all the moving parts (the copper coloured bits inside the tap) and its working fine now. :D

If i turn the tap on and off for about 30 seconds the water starts to flow, the more i turn it off and on the faster it starts to flow. I then leave the tap and come back a few hours later and have to do the same thing again... any ideas please?
