Just to bring this on up again - the thermistors are fine (I have changed them). The plate heat exchanger is fine and have cleaned it out as recommended by the chap who I gaining experience with. If the central heating is on (and has been for 5-10 minutes) the hot water will work perfectly. If...

Come on onlyfitidealboilers - get it off your chest - don't be so defeatist :cry: Thanks Marc86 - I have checked these - one clip on one and one wet pocket one. In testing the wet pocket one (dhw) I left the old one in situ but removed the plug and attached it to the new one, just hanging...

I do like a good can of worms, but it seems that I have opened the biggest one ever - politics, business acumen, immigration - all from a slightly faulty Ravenheat. Are you sure that Ravenheat is not indeed the source of all problems in the UK - from reading these posts they symbolise...

Hey, I said be nice!! Who was boasting about anything? Just as there are lots of different plumbers and gas engineers earning lots of differing amounts of money there are also lots of different types of psychologists earning lots of differing amounts of money. I've never earned anything...

This is turning into a real debate. I'm here 24/7 until Monday so we can keep going!! ;) I'm only up for friendly banter though! I've done various things workwise and not used to earning minimum wage (like I am now) I have worked as a psychologist and currently working as a carer to...

Hey Pedantic Vindictive Man, I can top that! I work one week (a seven day week 24 hours a day at minimum wage I might add) and then the next week I work for free with a plumber and heating engineer (in fact it costs me because I have to get there and back and pay for lunch etc). Its really...

Thanks Agile, I realise that there's more to fixing boilers than changing bits until you chance upon the right one - that's why I originally wanted to do this - a reputable plumbing company in my home town came round and just changed bits until they found that a thermistor was that was all that...

Hello all, I have read all of the posts on here about what I am trying to find out but to no avail so far, so I'm sorry if this is a bit similar to what has already been asked. I am training to be a plumber/gas engineer and am slowly getting to grips with things, but I have a problem with...

Ah, also, how do I manually operate my motorised valve? Sorry, learning fast - I hope. And why do not use blanking plate? The immersion which is in there has never been connected/working (for a long time by the looks of things) Is this purely if you have no gas you have alternative? As could add...

Thankyou for you hints and tips - I shall attempt this in the next few days. Is there a time when any of you will usually be sitting near a computer in case this all goes wrong? Hahaha. Is modifying pipework fairly easy? The extent of my plumbing skill is having changed a couple of radiators -...

Long post here – sorry – first time on here :D My house is always finding new ways of breaking itself (circa 1900 terrace – not a lot done since then I think….lmao) It has a central heating system in it which I suspect is about 30 years old, supplemented by a boiler which was replaced about...
