I've just fitted drayton rf3 wireless programmer and receiver to my boiler and everything works great. Only thing is I'm not sure if digistat is always showing the correct temperature - I set it to 20 and it can take ages for the digistat to show it's reached that temp by which time the house...

I think I'm being stupid here - can someone confirm what I acutally should do is change the heating to on 24/7 on the boiler and let the RF programmer take care of it all?

OK yes you're right, the hot water control would probably be an almost useless luxury - I was thinking we could easily turn off the hot water if we went to bed early or went away for a couple of days etc. But I can do that from the boiler no problem really. I have a wired room thermostat in...

Has anyone fitted a wireless programmable thermostat to a worcester bosch highflow 440 mk1 ? I ask because after researching for days I think it may not be possible - this is a problem unique to the mk1 aparently. Worcester themselves offer wireless programmers for the 440 and 550 cdi (the...

thanks guys, I've got plenty to try out then

Thanks guys - brick acid with a brush then, looks like I should regard it as a never ending job

Has anyone successfully used a domestic pressure cleaner to clean excess mortar from bricks on a new wall? Our extension looks great but the pointing mortar is also on the bricks in many places and looks unsightly. I've read in several places that using the correct brick acid works along...

I have read the manual several times Tony and I fully understand all the controls. If my memory serves me well none of my questions here are answered specifically - I can't get anything from the Worcester Bosch website also I've also spent a good deal of time searching these forums. My...

Thanks for the reply Tony - your response has sparked some more questions if you have the time: What do you mean by preheat - the internal tank? and how do I know if I'm using it - to me this sounds like I have an option to use it? My flow rate is 22 apparently - I think it's litres per...

I've had a 440 for a year now and am very pleased with it - water pressure in my area isn't really good enough to get the best out of it but I'm happy. I wanted to test I'm getting better dhw flow when it's using the built in tank as I've not noticed any difference when having a long shower...

We have a large teak antique dining table that I'd like to protect from scrapes, heat etc. We currently use pads and then a table cloth but because we use the dining table a lot the pad and cloth tend to stay on all the time and we can't see the beauty of the table top in all it's glory...

we've just had a highflow 440 fitted and think it's great - wish our mains pressure was better! was wondering what settings people on here thought was best. currently have heating set to 'twice' on the programmer and the boiler heating temp set to 'e' (around 9 o'clock) on the dial...

We have our stairs carpeted and the lower floor is tiled - so on the bottom stair step the carpet just finishes. Where the stair carpet finishes it's a bit untidy, the carpet is quite deep so there's often little bits of thread sticking out etc. Also our dog sits there when we're upstairs...

Thanks John - yeah I do have a black liquid coming out so I'll do that search.....

I have to bleed the radiator in one of the bedrooms every other month for some reason... The question I have is - is the gassy smell that occurs during bleeding normal? We have a combi system with pressurised water for central heating. Thanks Kenny

it's more of a constant, faint whinning noise... but higher pitched than a whine - more like a squeeking.. it comes and go's but was on most of the evening last night.. think it's getting worse so I'll get someone in.

can anyone help me.. our combi boiler is making a faint but annoying sort of 'screwing' noise some of the time when it's in use. it's hard to describe the noise - like an insulated screwing noise that's quite loud when you're near the boiler though can be heard in the kitchen too sometimes as...

thanks Kev - why do it slowly?

Thanks.. Spoke to someone at work also - seems to tie in with what you say.. I think there is another tap/valve I need to turn - if I turn the other tap on so that pressure rises but water goes outside THEN I turn this other tap I see water will stop going outside and the boiler will full...

I have just moved in to my new (first) house and found the sime combi boiler won't ignight! I have no expertise in this area at all and am about to call an engineer. The seller tells me the boiler was definately working before though has not expertise himself also! I'm inclined to believe...
