    Unusually water leak on a Worcester Greenstar 25cdi boiler. The plastic section behind the dhw temperature sensor has developed a slow leak.

    Nothing unusual about that part leaking, quite common. Usually because the boiler has been installed without a shock arrestor. Relatively easy job. Might be a good idea to do the right hand block too, with a new flow adaptor and silencers. Not as cheap or as easy, and fit a shock arrestor too.

    Hot water not hitting top temperatures

    All of the showers will have nrv's built in. If they are bar showers it's easy to find which are passing. Run the shower on fully hot, feel the left inlet pipe (usually hot feed) it will get hot. Turn shower off. If the nrv is faulty it will go cold pretty quick. Repeat with all of them.

    Gas fire isolation

    always hated restrictor elbows and the pipe on view to the fire. always tried to hide them. restrictor elbows serve a purpose and the associated pipe work is more robust than copper weaving its way over the hearth etc, plus it looks like it belongs there. its the way it used be done. personally...

    How to turn off Glow worm preheat

    not that familiar with GW tbh, only done a couple. I would assume that there is a parameter that tells the boiler 'what type it is' system or combi etc. therefore dhw preheat wouldnt come up in parameters as a choice if it was told it is a system boiler? Ive done it myself, was on the phone to...

    Need help with Radiators cold at Bottom - not sludge

    your boiler can provide up to 24 kw for heating rooms. my general fag packet calcs say thats enough for a 12 room house. keeping the flow temp down is good as is adjusting pump speed to make sure it gets round all the system. have you range rated the boiler? parameter 3 needs to be set...

    Atag Efficiency

    Did your installer flush the existing pipework and radiators? If not it could be that your boiler return temp is too warm which the boiler senses and assumes that the heating is warm enough, and, shuts the burner off. They monitor everything electronically and adjust burners, fan speed and pump...
