Hi, Got a HW tap on the bath that when you turn it on full gets stuck, the wife has to call me to give it a turn to get it to free, it doesn't leak and doesn't stick anywhere else just when its on full out gets sort of locked. Its a basic bath mixer with a shower attachement. Any ideas...

Hi, I have a Thorn Apollo 15/30 with the old type of programmer, the spinning dial with pins and now no longer works, we just control the HW & CH with the thermostat and manually now. Can an electronic programmer be fitted and which would be best for simple operation? can anyone point in...

As you look at a Thorn Apollo 15 / 30 on the heat exchanger is a stat that is connected to the thermocouple. Is this the Hi or Low stat, the stat that is connected at the moment the stat numbers are, T24 LC A/082-15 A627 Also I have seen to types one that need soldering to the original...

My pilot flame is now yellow and the flame is not in great contact with the Thermocouple, would a new top socket fix this??? Cheers :)

The CW storage tank in the loft has a insulated jacket with a plastic sheet over the top of the tank (like a big condom with insulated sides), it does not have a lid as such. When would this have been installed i.e. what sort of era were these available? Cheers

Finally sorted my Thorn Apollo out and had it gas safety checked by a good Corgi guy round the corner, he found the gas pressure wound up far too much beyond the boiler's limits :shock: , of which he turned down :D. But I have an intermittent problem which doesn't seem to happen when he is...

Where can I get a new Thorn Apollo 15/30 heat exchanger from??? Do the do reconditioned ones or s/hand inspected ones??? Cheers :D

Following on from other thread had the boiler (Thorn Apollo 15/30) serviced and the TC changed and the Oheat stat replaced, the guy changed some 'A' clips so that the cowl pulled tight against the back as the old clips were threaded and all seemed well the boiler fired up and we have had heat...

Hi all, Just got back from hols in America to find the boiler on the blink again, great :cry: Thorn Apollo 15/30. Pilot light won't stay lit. New thermocouple fitted today still won't have it. The pilot light lights but won't stay lit and is a good blue flame. Any help as...

When removing a radiator should I cap the now dead pipes or join them together?

Thanks to the advice on this forum I'm £1500 better off, for now. What started as a noisy boiler banging crashing knocking and wheezing and a quote for £1500 for a new boiler, because 'that ones knackered mate, can't get the parts for them now' A bit of research and £25 of boiler noise...

I need to flush my CH system and the only drain valve I can find is above the boiler on the inlet side. The boiler is at the mid point of the house so half the rads will be below that point, just releasing the water from this point wouldn't really help would it? How can I ensure a full flush...

If lets say a heat exchanger was seperate from a boiler lets say a Thorn appollo 15/30 gas boiler and you were about to descale just the exchanger on its own, what would you use? how would you use it? whats the exchanger made from? Thanks

When I bought my house two years ago I noticed the hot water cylinder was leaking so I replaced it and a new immersion. Last christmas day '03' the boiler flicked on at 7 like it always did, let out an almighty banging and crashing and cut out. Turned out to be the pump which I replaced with a...

Before I go spending £1500 on a new boiler I have two questions to ask. - Where can you still get parts for an Thorn EMI Apollo boiler specifically the heat exchanger? - Assuming I don't live in an overly hardwater area (i.e. I don't get limescale in my kettle etc), what would the build up...
