    Digistat room stat not bringing boiler on. Worcester 28CDi

    Hi! Thanks for your comments! I never thought of that! Lol! Still waiting for the plumber to arrive with the receiver. He did say it might be a problem obtaining one as my boiler is 15 years old, but I have seen brand new ones on Ebay, so if he has no luck I'll order it myself. Great site...

    Digistat room stat not bringing boiler on. Worcester 28CDi

    Hi. I Hope someone can help me with a problem with my Worcester 28CDi RSF boiler? Just recently I have had to go into the loft to switch on the boiler using the over-ride button, as the Digital room stat isn't communicating with the receiver. I have replacedall four batteries, closing the...

    Clicking noises from cenral heating pipes

    Yes it is Worcester combi. It works well considering it's age, but the pipes clicking is annoying to say the least! I have had all the rads closed off and with the heating just running through the pipes, the noise was still there. I thought it might have been one of the radiators, but...

    Clicking noises from cenral heating pipes

    Hi footprints! Thanks for your advice. Should I remove the clips I pinned down the two lots of pipes that were loose with and replace them with the stuff you told me about? I know it is hard to determine where the noise is coming from, but it does sound as if it is in the loft where the...

    Clicking noises from cenral heating pipes

    Hi. For a while I had clicking noises coming from the pipework that sounded as if it was coming from upstairs. I have recently decorated upstairs and while I had a small section of floorboard up I noticed that some of the pipes running across a joist were loose so I pinned them down and two in...

    Having to pressurise CH system on a regular basis

    First of all confession time! I managed to reach the PV air valve and let a tiny bit of air out and saw no water. I then (mistakenly!) tried to put my pencil type tyre pressure gauge on the valve to see what pressure was in the PV. You've got it! I let some more air out! Lol! Anyway, when...

    Having to pressurise CH system on a regular basis

    Hi, Yes I have checked the pipe outside and it is bone dry. As I mentioned earlier I had a problem many years ago with water coming out of the outside pipe, which meant I had to have the pressure relief valve replaced. A friend of mine has recommended a good local plumber who is going to come...

    Having to pressurise CH system on a regular basis

    Thanks! I will check it soon. I have tried to access the schraeder valve on the expansion vessel but there is no room and would probably need other items removing first. Even with the left side panel, front panel and lower control panel out of the way I still cannot access the valve as part...

    Having to pressurise CH system on a regular basis

    Hi gigz! Thanks for your reply. I did have problems many years ago with high boiler pressure resulting in the relief pressure valve opening and water did come out through the 15mm pipe outside. At the time the pressure rose to 3+ bar and water was coming out of the pipe outside, so I had the...

    Having to pressurise CH system on a regular basis

    Can anybody tell me why my CH system needs pressurising on a regular basis? I can set the pressure to 1.5 bar one day and it will have dropped to either 0.5 or even zero the next day. All my radiators are equally hot from top to bottom but when the heating has been on for about two hours the...

    Lukewarm radiators

    Some thermostatic valves have a pin that shuts the water off as the set temperature is reached. These can stick when the temperature drops, so try taking the two off the lukewarm rads and check the pins. A squirt of WD 40 and working them up and down with a pair of pliers usually frees them...

    Windscreen wipers

    Hi! Thanks for the info. Your sizes seem to be about right. I'm in Michigan right now so will get some new wiper blades when I return. Yes, I do have the 1.0 litre engine and I love the car!

    Windscreen wipers

    Hi. Thanks for the apology which I accept. I accept your comments on simply going to a shop for advice on the correct fitment and this is what I did, but was given the wrong advice! Consequently I endeavoured to find out the sizes and kept getting conflicting advice. If I had replaced the...

    Windscreen wipers

    I'm not going to get into a debate with you or insult you, as you at least replied! I have asked many shops that sell windscreen wiper blades. I have checked in several stores such as Halfords etc and they all suggest different sizes even for the same year as my Charade! For instance Halfords...

    Windscreen wipers

    Hi. Does anyone know what are the correct size windscreen wipers that were originally fitted to a 2004 Daihatsu Charade SE Auto? Mine are 18in drivers side and 13in passenger side but I don't think they are the right ones? There are so many conflicting sizes sold as being the right ones and I...
