I could do - but the problem has only manifest itself in the last few months. Something has changed in a system that never had the problem :!:

This problem seems to crop up and yet I have not found the answer to my problem so far. Our CH system emits a loud bang from the pipes on start-up and at no other time. It is micro-bore and quite old - like 30 years. I note that we have NOT had to bleed the radiators for a long time. There...

Ref the flexible connection offered by Picasso - no it wouldn't fit - but thanks. The reason I asked the question in the first place is because I don't know what I am doing - that is why I seek the advice of those who do :!:

Can anyone tell me how to connect a new WC with enclosed sides to a horizontal soil pipe that protrudes from a bulkhead wall panel. I have all the push on fittings but I cannot witness whether the connection has made or not because of the side panels on the WC :!: It is almost impossible to get...

Thanks to Burnerman and Terrywookfit for your interest. Please find attached pictures of pump and if you look hard - the oil leak. Any further advice and a contact for repairs would be well appreciated. :lol:

Small patch of light under pump is oil

Please can anyone advise : I have a 30 year old Danesmoor that has started to leak around what seems to be a graduated 'Jubilee Clip' at the junction between pump and burner. My boiler maintenance engineer could not find it and he is costing me a lot of money! :( Do I need a new pump -...

Thanks again John - I really did not want to start jacking the tank around! The tank is over 2 metres above the boiler. Your point about air pressure is interesting. The boiler is old and inefficient with the baffles very worn - could that be another clue? Also, I have noticed that there is...

John - Burnerman - Please see layout of line to boiler to give full picture of tank alongside our side wall. We inherited this configuration :!: :!:

Hi John - Please see attached pictures of filter and line to boiler (below ground level shown). The tank has a slight fall - towards the oil outlet. I think it could be jacked up a bit when the oil level has dropped. The oil in the bowl looks clean. Thanks for your interest and input :D

Oil tank details (so far! )

Hi Oilhead and Burnerman - Thanks for your input. The maintenance guy removed a sheet of ice from the filter bowl during the cold spell and changed the filter (type) but I think there is a good chance that there is more water in there. The same guy did not offer me a different burner so I...

Hi Oilhead - The boiler is a Danesmoor 15/19 Pressure Jet Model 10 S. No 78101205 (approx 30 years old!). The burner is an Inter (?). It has new water pump and diverter valve - so they are fine. I would really like to survive another winter without having to buy a new boiler though mine is...

I have just picked up on this thread and would like to ask the diagnostic wizards out there for some help. My boiler maintenance bill for lockouts is huge and the problem is never sorted. The problem vanishes in warm weather but as soon as frost comes - boiler locks out. Boiler man says I...
