Update you anyone googling this in years to come. I drained the boiler down and replaced the temp probe. And now it works! I also removed the dhw exchanger while I was at it. Now running like a dream!

If I have to drain down, as the boiler is at the highest point can I just drain the boiler down? Shutting off the ch flow and return first? Shall I replace both temp probes? And advice on filling it back up? Re open valves and then fill using loops?

Update.... I have just bought 2 of these ready... Some advice on how to replace it would be great. To drain or not to drain? To put paste on or not?!

Hi all, Long time no speak! Since replacing my PCB ignition board, the boiler has been running like a dream! Recently, I have noticed that after the boiler has been running for a time, it starts cutting out...stops for a bit, fires up again then sometimes runs for a bit or for 2 seconds! It...

Hi all, I am currently installing the new vanity units (basin and toilet units. They are 2 different units which sit next to each other. The sink then plops on top of them both. This is the pic if it helps. My problem is the the floor boards are not level - They have been hacked about so...

thanks ever so much. That makes me feel better. I will take your advice!

What a gent. Thanks ever so much. The pictures really help to see how to put the board adhesive on. Thanks very much! Getting it nice and plum could be the tricky bit!

Hi all, In the bathroom I have just ripped the tiles off the external wall. Unlike the other walls, this was boarded with plasterboard and now I have ripped that off all I can see is the breeze block. The plasterboard was just glued to the wall. Is that normal? I will be re-tiling it...

Hi all, When ripping down the tiles, just the concrete render was left. It is relatively flat, so I'm thinking to just tile on to it. I've heard, as long as I use a cement based adhesive I do not need to prime it with anything... but others say i should (not PVA) However, there are some larger...

Just to confirm... It is rain water. I tied a tissue around the stack (above the joins) and it is wet. And is has been ****ing sidewards today. Must be getting in in certain wind conditions

Awesome! I think you are right... I have never seen one like that.. Nice to know what is is. Should I be replacing it all? with some more conventional joints? e.g the one that has the pan waste and basin and bath waste in one? Im guessing it would be difficult as the stack is obviously fixed...

I've just stuck my finger in the wet bit around the 'joining' bit, and yes its wet, but the brown sludge does not smell. Is it rain water? Maybe coming in from the tiles? Here is a pic of the brown wet stuff! PIC

UPDATE !!! I finally just went for it and I replaced the Ignition PCB... and it now works! Just thought its good to get a solve to the mystery. Hot water and heating when I want it for the first time in 4 years!

Hmmm Ok, that is fair enough - I would not touch the combustion chamber myself anyway. I needs a service anyway so I will pass on all the details to Gasway. Are you able to tell me what you think the common fault is so I can tell him - might save some diagnosing time, if he can go straight to...

Hi, I have just checked, and I can confirm when it does not light it does NOT click. When it DOES light, it does indeed click just before it lights!

I will put my ear next to it, the next time it stops working. Many thanks

Hi all, Hope you can help! I have an Ideal mini c28 Combi boiler Have been doing a bit of work recently; I have changed the diaphragm in the diverter valve (split) and cleaned out DHW heat exchanger (wow the muck that came out of that!!). So it already works 50 times better than before...

Hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance for reading. I have had issues with my boiler for ages, so finally got round to sorting it. I replaced the diaphragm of the diverter valve and cleaned it out and cleaned the Heat exchanger - I know have hot water for the first time in 4 years!!! CH...
