    Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDI Conventional - EA error message

    Any help will be greatly appreciated although the outcome will likely be calling a Gas Safe chap in. The EA error message has come on and the boiler has switched off. I have tried holding the reset button in for five seconds and then the boiler fires up, but after a couple of minutes it...

    Replacement for Triton Ivory 9.5

    Our very vintage (20+ years) Triton Ivory 9.5 has burnt out a wire and we want to replace the shower. Does anyone know what the direct replacement is so that the plumbing and the electrics fit as before.

    Mixing Zinsser paint

    Looking to paint, over existing paint, with Zinnser Allcoat Satin Exterior. Nowhere near me mixes Zinnser paint so I'll have to get it online. Does anyone have recommendations for a good online supplier? What's the best way to get a good colour match, as say NCS S5045B10G looks a different...

    Wiring for Honeywell L641A1039?

    Many thanks for the replies and apologies for the delay in getting back, we was aht and abaht. Ok, double checking being electrics and all, the new tstat should be connected as shown in the diagram below, right? (Orange is the nearest we could get to brown) Many thanks.

    Wiring for Honeywell L641A1039?

    Replacing a non-working thermostat on the hot water cylinder, photos attached. The old thermostat has blue, green/yellow, brown wiring. How do the old wiring colours transfer/relate to the new tstat's terminals marked C, 1, 2. I understand that the new tstat does not need an earth, so what do...

    Hot water too hot.

    The HW pipes warmed up when we switched on the HW at the programmer, so new stat it is. The stat is the oldest component on our system. Yes, thanks for all your inputs, much appreciated on here as ever.

    Hot water too hot.

    No we did turn up the boiler control stat as the radiators weren't hot enough. We emptied the hot water this morning and turned on the CH at the programmer but not the hot water. The hot water pipes stayed cold. So from what you are all saying it looks as though the cylinder stat may be the...

    Hot water too hot.

    Ok, thanks everyone. Yesterday we cleaned up the contact between the stat and the cylinder and it is now held in place very tightly with a bungee cord. The problem initially became apparent when we turned up the temperature in the boiler which (no surprise) made the radiators hot enough, and...

    Hot water too hot.

    Again many thanks, to everyone helping. We are just about competent enough to replace the MPV or the thermostat, will try and work out which is failing.

    Hot water too hot.

    Thanks BlueLoo, Harry, Derekoo and CBW. Updates: The immersion is not on. Photos of zone valve attached. I presume it's a three way valve. Not sure what you mean by 'is the valve indicator showing the valve shut?' When we turn on the hot water we can hear the MPV innards moving and...

    It's a condensing boiler.

    Hot water too hot.

    We have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDI boiler and a hot water tank with thermostat (see picture). With the cold weather our radiators were not getting hot enough so we have turned up the boiler. The radiators are now hot enough but the hot water from our taps is far too hot. Does this mean...

    Monobloc Kitchen Mixer - Best Brands?

    Don't mind paying up for quality. Am looking for a Victorian style, see below. I've seen Bristan and Grohe recommended on here before, but neither have quite what we're looking for. Can anyone recommend other brands they trust please. Thanks in advance Sorry, picture not quite working.
