    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    Ok, thanks everyone - have remembered a few more things he did 'wrong' like only fitted the main wallplate/hanging bracket - not the second one which slots in lower down the main plate - he also decided to drill new holes in the horseshoe thing which connects flue to boiler and screw them into...

    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    Michele: Yeah, partly my fault as I disconnected the boiler about 4 months ago and took it off the wall to knock wall down as part of an extension - then I found out that CORGI rules applied to disconnecting the boiler aswell as connecting it - so I didn't help matters by giving the guy a bag...

    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    Thanks - pendulum is swinging a bit - some saying give him a chance - which I am inclined to do - just checked on CORGI site and he is registered/active and ex British Gas. When i called him about the water leaking out of boiler this morning and worked out it was the condensate outlet...

    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    michele5041 - rehanging the boiler in a new location because of work done to the house - the wall the boiler used to be on is no longer there. He did supply a CORGI number on his advert - but I have to admit I did not cross check it on the CORGI website - or ask for his card on arrival -...

    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    Ok, thanks. I will call him in the morning and ask him to put it right by Monday or will report him to CORGI and call TRANSCO about the leak. (doesn't leak with gas off at the mains - but might turn it back on and stick some fairy liquid over where I think its leaking to see if it is before I...

    Ideal Isar HE24 + Corgi fitted badly - but how badly!??

    Hi, All just wanted some advice, I paid a CORGI to re-fit my Ideal Isar HE24 recently. The next day I noticed it was leaking - some investigation, reading of manual etc reveal that he did not connect the condensation outlet or route it out of the building. While diagnosing this...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Thanks securespark - I did read that it was not a requirement, but when the electrics were redone (new CU, new wiring and new socket outlets/light fittings throughout) 18 months ago they ran a 10mm Earth under the dining room floor and into the kitchen where it was bonded to the incoming metal...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Ok, thanks for all your help everyone. I bit the bullet and followed Spark123's advice for identifying the problem circuit from the CU - disconnected neutral cables and MCB's for each circuit in turn - isolated the fault to the downstairs circuit. Upstairs circuit and kitchen circuit both work...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Ok, thanks - its getting quite technical now so I think getting spark is going to be best option on the CU side of things at the least. I just tried moving the unprotected circuit back and its still tripping the RCD. Final questions now - at least on this matter. Once I bgan rewiring the...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Also to follow up on the RCD protection of the lighting circuit - I don't intend to do this bit myself - but since I have a spare RCD now, and I have spare terminals in the CU is it possible to run 2 RCD's in a single CU? e.g could I use 1 for the lighting circuits and bathroom circuit (for...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Thanks Rebuke - Will move the RCD over to protect the lighting cricuits in that case. Building Control has been notified of work on kitchen and bathroom circuits already as part of wider work (I have installed 3 RSJ's to facilitate kitchen knock through to a Victorian out-house) - they...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Ah, yes good Idea will pop to screwfix and get a plug-in RCD - thanks for the pointer. Most cables are running under the subfloor (not by me - by council contractors who did it as part of a grant for the old lady who lived here previously). They were then surface mounted up the walls to the...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Hi Rebuke - thanks for reply - yes I meant RCD... no sockets on partition - just a batten lampholder but thats not been connected up yet. Probably best to sit it out for a while by the sounds of it...don't want to go down the road of disconnecting the neutrals in the CU - replacing RCD was...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    Bongos - my mistake - I meant the RCD stil tripped - not the MCB - MCBs haven't tripped under any of the testing. No junction boxes beneath sub floor - and have tripped MCB's for all RCD protected circuits and then switched one at a time on and fired up an angle grinder and it trips - this...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    No, I didn't move neutral so that explains the RCD still tripping - and yes the power tools etc kept working - so not weird at all then! I did take up the floorboards but there are no junction boxes, cables or anything similar near where the water leaked. CU is the other side of a new...

    RCD keeps tripping..

    First off - thanks for all your help on these and other forums - this site and others like it have been invaluable for me in renovating my home and I have found answers to all my questions through existing forum responses - but this one stumps me and is unique to my situation. I have spoken to 2...
