Hi All, Our ususal plumber has recommended the Baxi Avanta as and upgrade for our ancient Ideal boiler, but my work colleague's son who is also in the trade would go with a similar sized W-Bosch. There's basically nothing in price difference but the Baxi has the longer warranty. Any...

Hi, Our machine has started to display the F11 code which would indicate that the filter would need a check. I've taken off the bottom front cover and where the user manual says the filter should be is a red cover with a warning logo on. Any ideas anyone?? Regards, Paul.

Hi All, Just as in the title. I've run the X800 through the system but it has been in there for a few weeks now. Recently the new Grundfos 15/60 has started to stick so to speak. All I need to do to get it running is flick it up to 3 for a second then back down to 2. This is bit of a pain as...

Hi All, Hope someone can help here. I unplugged the PC over xmas as I needed the powerpoint for something else. Hey presto, when I plugged it back in absolutely nothing happens! I've just changed the power supply and cleaned out the inside of the case. The on/off switch gives continuity when...

Hi All, I'm trying to drain the system but when I undo the square nut nothing happens and the insert remains in the valve. Will anything drastic happen if i try to pull the internal part out of the valve as I will obviously need to close it off. Please see the drain valve in my image album...

Hi All, Just after some advice regarding fitting a wireless room stat to the system. It uses a Honeywell ST699 for the controls. Is it possible to use a stat with this controller/boiler combo? If so are there any recommendations? Best Regards, Paul.

Hi All, Is it a wise move to add X200 & X400 at the same time to clean the system as I've got a major kettling problem after restarting the heating system after coming back from holidays. If not should I go with the X200 for a few days then add the X400? Regards Paul.

Hi, Tonight i noticed that the rads had gone cold and went and checked the boiler and hey presto - no pilot. I relit the pilot as per instructions and there was no problem. I started up the CH and the main burner lit and run as usual. Once the temp the stat was set to was happy the main...

Hi All, Have the above boiler in an open vented system. It is controlled by a Honeywell clock. The hot water is switched to off but the central heating continues to heat the water (really bloody hot). Is this a clock issue or should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks Paul.

Hi All, Just moved to a new property with a Ideal E type RS boiler and Grundfos 15-60 pump. It is floor mounted and has a storage cylinder above it and the F & E tank is in the loft space above it. I made the cardinal error of tweaking the lockshields and buggered up the system balance (10...
