With the risk of suffering an attack by certain memebrs I've decided to ask for assistance on getting my head around a problem that has been presented to me by a mate of mines company that has recently completed a refurb. The house in question has 2bar water pressure at the water main and...

Just wondering has anyone come across a noisey d/v on an ecoTEC Plus 824? My boiler at home occasionaly when the c/h is on makes a noise that can only really be described as a vibration which would appear to be coming from the d/v. If I switch the boiler on/off the noise will stop and...

Thank you, PM sent.

A more helpful reply, thank you :)

Only just started studying :(

You seriously are a nob mate!!! Everytime I post on here you have a go? I am trying to learn the trade, I ask alot of questions what's wrong with that? I try and research the answers myself but when I get stuck I post on here and get slated for it everytime? Yes it clearly states that I...

Ok, will ask on Wednesday. I don't work on any gas appliance unless supervised by Gas Safe Engineers, it's how I build my portfolio of evidence. I just find it frustrating when I don't know the reason behind something.

I'm a gas student doing an intermediate gas cert so was after the knowledge for my own studies/knowledge? The boiler is at a neighbours house and is all working fine now that pressure reduced, just wondering why it doesn't work when pressure increased to correct measurement?

Was with a gas engineer today carrying out a service on a gloworm space saver and the gas pressure was a little low, so it was increased to correct measurement but this evening the pilot light kept going out when heating was called for? The gas pressure was dropped back down to the level it...

:oops: :oops: :oops: Yeah, fair point I have worded it all wrong at the start but knowing that most parts for this boiler are not available and me thinking it could be an issue with these parts that's why it was written the way it was, when yes it should have been worded as a boiler issue but it...

A more expereinced person would probably find the fault straight away but hey they haven't even bothered to turn up or call back. So yes Tony maybe it is unfair, but nobody else would even come out to these people, I am only trying to help them and also gain some knowledge for myself. I...

Yes that's correct a plumber not a gas engineer. I have only just started my gas course and work under the supervision of a gas safe engineer but most of the work I have done has only been pipework not boiler fault finding which is why I am struggling with this one. I expect the gas...

Am I missing the obvious??? I am new to working on boilers and don't want to make mistakes.

Cant get spares? I am led to believe that there is no legal obligation for a manufacturer to provide spares in this regard, although there are some trade associations who require their members to ensure products are not rendered useless due to the absence of spare parts. There are lots of...

Gledhill say that there are a few spares left but once they run out of a particular one then that's it. Not checked with regards the law.

They contacted me over the weekend to say they had no dhw or ch. He'd investigated the issue himself as I believe he does something in the electronics industry and discovered that a wire on the pcb had come loose. This wire was part of the loom that went to the dhw flow/temp sensor and...

Yeah defo a waste of time hence why not worrying too much about it, if they want to spend hrs trawling the net trying to find the parts then good luck to them. It's a couple, he seems to have a good job but not sure what she does so warmfront will probably not apply to them. Have given...

the company that built them went bust and gledhill have no spares.

I know that the boiler above is not available anymore and that spares are almost impossible to find but I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I could possible obtain parts? Looking for a Diverter Valve and Micro Switch for a customer who has no heating, no money and a newborn baby...
