Yup, you did. Never told me it would be that loud though :) Not looking forward to removing HWC but at least I'll get to see what all the extra pipes are for. There are 3 open ended ones and 3 with isolation valves. Defo on the clean and inhibitor. Parents can't remember last time it was...

small update. had to change the thermostat in the HWC as I had a small earthquake the other morning. the immersion heater did not stop at the preset 60°c and boiled it. ended up with it venting into loft tank. scared the bejeezus out of me. now have a new RDT re-settable thermostat...

Thanks, didn't even think that could happen. Gonna change the RDT thermostat tomorrow. The only photos I have are these. I can take more tomorrow. I'll take the new jacket off first though. Primary connection halfway up cylinder.

Just spoke to my brother. Confirms that HW & CH was available independantly but I have not seen any motorised valves anywhere. One thing I noticed when I tried the boost button is the towel warmer in the bathroom heated up, so water is circulating, just not in cylinder. I'm getting more...

Just downloaded instructions for Horstmann timer. Read about the HW Boost feature so tried it. Checked boiler, had fired up this time and the (flow & return) pipes started getting hot. Went to bathroom and touched the pipe that enters the cylinder half way up but it was cold. Shouldnt it be...

UPDATE: I went into garage next to boiler and using walkie talkies, got my brother to switch on timer and select HW. Boiler did not fire up. I then got him to de-select HW and then select CH. Boiler fired up and pump started immediately.

Seem to remember 6 pipes, one of which has the 3 speed pump. All rads heat fully. Bled them first day we turned on heating a few weeks back.

Oh, one thing. Brother told me that unless the immersion heater is turned off, even though it's set to 60° (turned down now) you can hear the water boil like a kettle.

Hi, yeah, there are two going up through the ceiling and then roof of garage, into the house. In loft I did check expansion/header tank (small version of cold tank). Its full and when I slightly press down on float, it starts to fill.

Worked fine before. Had the hot water cylinder naked the other day. Bought new jacket so all pipes were visible all around. Hoovered and fitted new jacket. Followed pipes, no sign of one.

Hi all. Got a problem. If I set timer (Horstmann CentaurPlus C21) to come on in the morning for both heating and hot water, I get heating but no water unless I switch on immersion heater. Been suggested to check motorised diverter valve but can't find it. Not near boiler (Ideal E Type) in...

UPDATE - for those that might be interested. Tech just left, did a sequence to get error code E66 which turns out to be the MOST expensive component, the PCB. :x Took it out and showed me the black marks on the white plastic cover.

Oh well, looks like i'll have to bend over when the repair man comes today! :x

Just tried to run it on cold wash to see if it was the heater element and does the same thing. Draws in water for 1 min ish stops draws some more in then immediately switches over to "drain" and acts like end of program. Don't want to get Serviceforce out as they say it will cost me £69...

Anyone? Getting desperate!

Just to add, looked in instructions and checked the faults finding guide. The machine fills then empties immediately ● The end of the drain hose is too low. ● The end of the drain hose is submerged in water. ● There is no vent in the end of the drain hose. Not sure...

3 year gtee now 4 years old. Problem started last night at the most inopportune moment. Have just come home from a major neck operation and have a load of clothes etc to wash that I used while in hospital (imagine the germs ) No matter what program I select, it merely selects "DRAIN" and...

This has got to the point of annoyance now. Use to cause the toilet to spontaneously refill once every week or so. Now, 2-3 times an hour. The pics show the inside (cleaned the crud out now) of the cistern. Can anyone tell me where to find instructions on how to remove the flush...

Thanks for replies.

Looking to get one of these. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4172453/Trail/searchtext>FLUELESS+GAS+FIRE.htm I understand that a qualified person must install it. I live in Chadwell Heath and need to know how to find a trustworthy person to install it, after I have had the...
