Thanks Terry, Replaced the pump coil for another again and its now been up for an hour. Must have had a dud! Really appreciate your replies. Tim

Thanks Terry. There are 3 pins on the coil. Which am i measuring please? Ive read, "it should be 2.7K when cold. Then run the boiler until it locks out and measure again. If no continuity, coil needs to be replaced." I have replaced the coil already but will check if i can find out which of the...

== NOW RESOLVED == Hi all, Can anyone please suggest anything I can next check regarding the lockout on our boiler? It will lockout after about 8-10min when left off for 30min If i then press the reset button on the control box it will lockout after 3-5min. I have changed the solenoid coil...

Ive been hunting now for 3 hours... Where our kitchen and lounge laminate floors meet we have a T-Molding strip to join them. Recently the plastic track that it pinches into to attach it down has broken up and i need a replacement track: Does anyone please know where I can buy one...

Thanks for the reply :) So do you think that this window has never been secured in properly? Or have they used another method? I dont really want to drill through the frame, as I cant see what im drilling into or whats on the the other side of the frame, but I will do if there is no other...

Hi, Weve moved into our new house and when opening the bathroom UPVC window we noticed that the whole frame on the left hand side is loose and can be pushed out.... Ive opened the window and looked for any screws through the frame into the brickwork but cannot see any, I also cannot see...

Sorry this isnt really a central heating question, but does involve gas heating and I could find a better section. We recently moved into our new house and in the lounge is a Villager Gas Stove. The previous owner said that before we use it we must promise to get it checked out as she...

We have the same problem on our bedroom radiator!!! It sounds like someone is tapping the same pattern ever time it heats up or cools down. Ive tried lifting the radiator and holding the pipes but i cant stop the noise!! have you found the cause of the problem?

AT LAST !!!!!! Gas engineer 9 came out, and finally sorted the boiler !!! I said to him that I had been suggested: Max/Min Gas Settings and incorrect modulation. After another 5 minutes of the usual, "You need a power flush, and the new heat exchanger has become blocked again", finally...

I wouldnt ever touch anything gas !!! I will give d&g 1 more chance and then i will find a local engineer or pay for an alpha engineer. I will then try and claim the money back from d&g Thanks Im guessing that the above "Could" cause my problems as you would have said they wouldnt if not ;)

Thankyou Tony, The thing is we have had 7 engineers out from Domestic and General, NONE had any idea that it was the faulty shower mixer (that Paul suggested on here) They keep coming out and havent got a clue. Does the above sound at least plausable ? Then i can point no.8 engineer to...

I have unplugged the hot water thermistor and plugged it into one that is off the boiler, it now does not cut out. The water is too hot and i cant turn down the temp as when the dial is turned down lower then the boiler still cuts out (which alpha said is normal? and we should leave it on 9...

It gets worse have also noticed that when i set the water temp to anywhere under 6 on the dial it cuts out still ! anything over 6 and it doesnt cut out. When set to 5.5 it last for 40secs, when set to 1 it lats 8 sec.... Do you think it could be new boiler time?

Thanks Dave, We fitted a normal mixer, this one: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/65957/Bathrooms-Showers/Showers-Enclosures/Showers/Manual-Mixer-Showers/Swirl-Manual-Shower-Valve-Minimalist-Lever;jsessionid=PKOIYVKCL5RHACSTHZOSFFY?ts=82637 but it does the exact same with the taps also...

Well..... Looks like i spoke too soon !!! We fitted a new shower mixer and now we have a new problem !!!!!! The hot water now runs perfectly, no cutting out in shower, taps etc. BUT as soon as the cold water is turned on also, over say maybe 10% flow it cuts out the boiler !!!!! * this...

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I fitted a stop valve on the shower cold feed and now we have constant hot water downstairs on the bath and the sink !! Ive ripped out a wall tile and the shower mixer, so will be replacing it ASAP ! The boiler still cuts out, but after long periods...

UPDATE2: Ive just ripped the side off the bath and managed to get to the 2 pipes leading to the shower. When the hot tap is running, the cold pipe to the show gets colder, and the hot pipe also gets cold. This HAS TO mean that the shower is leaking cold water to the hot? Would love...

UPDATE: I have unplugged the lower sensor and plugged it into a spare sensor off the boiler.. The combi still cuts out and restarts exactly as before. So i guess i have illiminated the combi overheating? Secondly, can someone please confirm that when the cold feed to the boiler is turned...

Shut off the valve on the cold water supply just beneath the boiler. Go to a sink basin or bath with seperate hot tap. open that hot tap, does water should not flow I have turned the stop on the water 90 degrees to cut it off. When i now run the hot water tap on the sink, it flows with cold...

Thanks for taking the time to anwer :) did it fix the problem for a while? or did it make no difference right from the get go? might be blocked again. I think that it is getting too hot, would it be dangerous to unplug the lower sensor and plug it into one of the old sensors that is...
