@Gasguru: Yes the boiler is turbomax plus 828e. Wonder how long it will last as last engineer who serviced it said it is working fine parts are easier to source on ebay. I have just phoned the engineer who said he is going to fit the boiler for £1000 with 2 year warranty. He is gas safe...

Thanks.He has quoted fitting worcester greenstar 30i. I did ask him if my boiler needs servicing as i had it in August last year and he said he looked inside the Magnaflow and the water is clean.Would the money be well spend if he changes the combi and drains it all and refills it.Is there any...

I have a vaillant turbomax 28kw which is working fine but gives the occasional trouble.What is does is reaches its temperature very quick if and then turns off.It only happens on heating demand.If i select the control knob on 3/4 of the system it says 72 degrees on the display.The boiler then...

Having spoken to texecom on 01706212524 they have advised against fitting one of their alarms by a diyer. They have said that even the professionals call them to be sure.I gather the texecom panel would be complicated. After speaking to loads of installers i believe it would be either pyronix...

it is a Vaillant Turbomax boiler.The radiators with cold spots have Trv's fitted to them. When the boiler is on on full mode at 82 degrees then all the radiators get warm,however the ones with the trv's only get warm when on full no 6.If i reduced it to 3 or 2 it does not even heat up.The other...

Thanks all.I have emailed the customer service team.It was purchased from Victoria Plum.

Thanks Terry.After much digging i have now got proof of purchase.Would the retailer cover for the installation or just the part.I hate to think how i would be removing the sealant (plumbers gold from the slotted waste as i never expected it to leak.I made it watertight.

uploaded again.

drip is where it leaks.It is a round hole and the area is just above the overflow on the basin.If i remove the basin waste then this area is hidden from above.

The crack is in the body of the basin just behind the waste hole underneath.It looks like a manufacturing defect to me, as it is in a round shape and have tiny holes.When the tap is on it drips heavily from this.I would say it is the size of 1p coin.

DOH.....all plumbing done and when turned the tap on it turns out there is a weak spot underneath the basin itself.It drips. I cannot take the basin back as it has been more than a year i purchased it.Is there any epoxy resin i could purchase to fix it.

https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/ESKITW2GTRI.html This is what has been recommended by someone.But i understand i still need to buy sensors on top of this. Also pyronix has been mentioned too for just under £300 mark.

Hi, I would like to install a new burglar alarm which has a sim card auto dialer facility. Is there an alarm which incorporates both wires and wireless into it and is it in the remit of diy. I have no problems downstairs in running the cables from the control unit to the keypad but it is the...

Just moved in with my other half to a new house.Funnily the previous occupant had butler sink being used in the bathroom as a basin with black silicone around it.Maybe he was trying to get some retro look or something.I am not sure why ?However i have now changed the original title to basin for...
