    Riello burner not starting.

    There's water in the tank too. Get cleaned out, find where the water has got in, flush pipe through and change the pump as it will fail soon enough.

    Grant Boiler Ongoing Problem

    If a G1 installer its a 10 year warranty. That flue is a bloody disgrace. Grant boiler and flue if installed correctly will give years of trouble free service as long as it is service yearly. No way that person is OFTEC registered.

    Switch oil to gas with microbore piping?

    Nothing wrong if installed correctly. My system was put in about 1974 and works fine. Won't work for air source as too small but originally on an AGA fan flued gas boiler.

    Mira 722 mixer tap - not mixing

    Nope. Coil turns a barrel inside to regulate temp, if you remove coil, no connection between temp control and barrel. You will be able to get instructions online or if you order a seal pack. Also seeing it is such an old post you should post a new thread to save digging up a 15 year post, Can't...

    Grant Vortex PCB or something else

    Looks quite a new Vortex so could be under Grant warranty if a boiler fault. There have been issues with PCBs on newer grants having replaced a few now under warranty so worth checking with them.

    A New Boiler? Buy now, or wait till next year?

    Probably right about parts for the Maxol. Have worked on quite a few and parts virtually non existent. Main issue you would have if you changed boiler is the flue is two aluminium tubes approx 40mm that can run usually across a ceiling or in a box to outside some distance away and a modern flue...

    Power to boiler suddenly dead

    Overheat stat isolates all power to boiler. Usually top right on a Grant under a little black cap. If you press it and it has tripped it will be a positive audible snap when it is pressed. Boiler possibly firing and hot when power tuned off and nowhere for heat to go so trips out. Also check...

    Help identifying make / model of bath trap

    Nope its part of the waste. If you believe me the 2 pipes on the right are to do with the overflow. Can't quite remember how it works but passes through the trap below the magnetic stopper.

    Stanley 80k twin boiler broke.

    Electrodes on these are inclined to turn in porcelain insulators and will not spark therefore won't light. When was it last serviced as these are a pig to get set right with 2 burners crammed into a 1ft cubed area.
