Hi All, I have an old glow worm fuel saver F gas boiler I don't know the exact model, its either a 35, 45 or 55 F and I'm struggling to find someone to service it. The boiler itself works ok however it is ( I believe ) 25 + years old and I have been told it may contain asbestos by a couple of...

Anyone ?

Hi all weird one this. Our hot water tank sprung a leak about a week ago and was replaced, none of the pipework apart from some of the fittings to the new tank has been changed but our bathroom radiator which is plumbed into the hot water no longer gets hot. I have tried the following with...

do'h looks like I'm the goon :oops: Time to get a plumber in to sort the essex valve + antigrav loop

http://www.salamanderpumps.co.uk/Download/instructions.pdf just had a look here fig 6 pg 3 is very close to my set up but no non return valve and no essex flange or gravity loop is fitted to my system. it seems whoever plumbed the existing pipework was a goon. All I did was add the pump...

I cant see any vents, the hot feed is teed off the pipe that comes out of the top of the hot water tank it then goes up into the loft and is raised about 1ft above loft floor level before runing onto the input of the shower pump

has the hot supply got a non return valve fitted after the pump ? no non return valve it is cause the cylinder is fed from the same tank as the cold. thought as mutch cws = cold water sistern ?

Hi all I have a bit of an odd one for you. the shower in my bathroom is plumbed so that the feed pipes come down from the celing to the mixer tap, the shower is fed by a salamander ct50 pump which is located above the shower in the loft, the ct50 is listed as having a posotive head. link...

cheers I'll pick up some sentinel tomorow and whack it in

Hurrah all sorted. drained the system removed the valve and stripped it down then cleaned all the gundge out of it. rebuilt refit test and it all works ok. It was fouled by a small amount of black sludge, whats the best way to de-sludge the system without going down the expensive power...

groovy I'll give it a go tomorow if I get home from work at a reasonable time :)

+1 dont drive it like that it WILL dump the oil and wreck the engine . you could seal the plug on with liquid mettal + alraldite but this is a tempoary bodge and if you do it right you will be needing a new sump or the old one removing and reworking. in case you missed it the first time...

Try piston heads for audi specific forums but I suspect the discs front and rear should be realy easy to change. http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/ also remember that you need to change all the pads as well as otherwise you'll knacker the nwe discs in a very short time...

nice roast pork that was :) righto I've taken some hi res pics and whacked them on flikr ( see worksafe linky) http://www.flickr.com/photos/mobile_chicane/sets/72157618788026672/ checked the valve and the springs are ok, reading all your coments I think the valve may be passing water...

thats the valve alright, I'll try and post a couple of pics later on of the set up as I think you may be right about the pump running from the boiler as its downstairs and the hot water tank is upstairs. need to go to the inlaws now for bh tea :)

amost forgot the electronic valve has no manafacturer name but it does have the code BGMVSP-23 on it I dont know it that helps.

first of all have a round of virtual drinks or however you do it here :) So down to buisness, I have a 3 bed semi with a seperate boiler and hot water tank that apears to be heated by hot water passing through a coiled pipe inside the tank. the radiators apear to be fed from a grundfoss...
