OK, i have been in loft , what do you use magnet for ? I have a small and large tank , both have plenty of water in , pushed float down and water does feed when pushed down. I have drained the radiators using main drain pipe downstairs, then I have openable feed pipe and the radiators don't...

Yes ots open vented , ill get in loft tomorrow and see if there is anything on the tank

Update: Pump working as you can feel water rushing through pipes, and getting hot upto pump and beyond. But No radiators upstairs bleed , I can remove the whole bleed screws of them and nothing. Even with pump on and off.

I know the output pipe of the boiler is hot i will get in the cupboard above the boiler to see how far the water stays warm upto the pump. i will get a picture of the setup later on. Boiler is hot to touch as it does come on for a few mins every hour or so

Thermecon ( i can get model later) its fairly old 10-12 years +

Thermostat works, its a old wall dial that clicks when it activates. I have a 3 port Danfoss HS3 Valve, which is also only a few years old, anyway of testing this to see if it the valve, i did take head off it yesterday and turned the valve manually to see if that made any difference.

I have been thinking, the external waterpipe from boiler as it comes out and that is very hot, quick question the thermal shut off in the boiler when that "overheats" does it lock out the boiler or just stop it until it cools down enough to restart? My water pump is a Danfoss Alpha2 when i up...

Hi Its a EcoFlam Minor 1

Hi all. My oil boiler is doing something weird, not sure if its the boiler or another component on the heating system. My boiler will come on for around 3 to 4 mins and stop , it doesn't lock out and the mains light on the boiler is on . It might come on about hour or 2 later but again for a...

OK, good news i have it running, turns out probes was too far away from nozzle, not sure how it got like that . OK thats first and most important issue now for next. When the boiler stops after running for a while like it should then restart it don't try to start just hums, I have to press...

When you reset boiler does it spark first then add oil to ignite or the opposite? I have boiler out just want to know what to expect first when resetting oil or spark

Below is the electrodes used.

Thank you for the replies, The boiler is in a fairly tight room so taking it out and firing towards somewhere is fairly hard but i will give it a try, i`m confident the oil is spraying as there is fuel on the blast tube. The boiler is very old, and i know the bearings were noisy on startup i...

Hello, my oil boiler has had problem igniting, how do i check igniter is working. I would get a engineer out but the problem i have is i'm in the middle of a extension and had to drain my tank to move it, so at the moment its running from a 25L drum, and a engineer wont entertain it when its...

is 1.5mm 3 core flex wire good enough to run my 4no T4 florecent batten strip lights in my garage? the switch will be fused also? Many thanks in advanced

ok ive had a change of mind. can someone tell me if this diagram will work ie not moisturise the rafters? again thanks everyone for the previous comments :)

Being you would insulate between rafters, wouldnt that be a cold roof system so need airflow though joists to outside?

no problem cheers i take it 1200 will be too thick really or overkill

Does the vapour control need to be breathable?

So what would be your reccomendation for roof layers? Its not a heated garage but just want it not freezing in winter months as ill get a space heater in. Will insulation make a big difference in roof? Unless i put insulation in rafters and just a ply layer on top with sarnofil.
