    Baxi Solo 2 40 PF Luke Warm Water

    Ok gents. Fair enough. I don't agree with poolebybirths diagnosis either but he's trying to help so that I am grateful for. I will post up what the RGI uncovers. Just worried that the RGI will start replacing stuff until he finds a cure. Rather than carry out these checks. Would i get a...

    As stupid as this may sound when I passed my test 5 years ago I bought a classic car. 1972 Ford Cortina Mk3, pimped it out with big wheels and a decent sound system, it cost me only £500 to insure! Taught me everything i needed to know about cars. Did **** poor fuel economy though.
