No. The only pipes that go from the boiler in to the concrete is one 22mm flow, and one 22mm return. No 15mm's. What it seems they did was dig footings. Then set up all central heating pipes etc. Then lay the concrete slab over everything. So no access to the pipes at all until they come up...

No, not rerouting. At some point I will be taking everything out and replace it all. I am not able to cap off just yet as we will need a certain amount of the radiators for heating. At least for the next month, and possibly for next winter. Once the rads are gone I'm going to do nothing with...

Ah, poo. I was hoping that there would be an internal way to do it. Looks like I'm going to have to get the grinding gear out again. Thanks for the reply

Hi. So, it is basically the title. Long version: I am renovating our new place in the highlands, but I am doing it in 2 halves. One side gets done, then the other. One of the things that needs to be done is take out the old rads and cap off the original 15mm pipes. The issue is we need to...

Hi everyone. We have bought an old and draughty 1890s bungalow in the north of Scotland, and it is coldddddd and, along with more insulation and new roofing etc plus a lot of other things that this place needs, we are fitting an overlay underfloor heating system. It was extnded in the 50 or...

Well it's all about the cost. £256 plus everything else = to £350 to nearly £400 for a fitted PCB, just a printed circuit board. The mark up on that must be astronomical. Plus the PCB would only probably be guaranteed if fitted by a certified gse etc. So basically we are either over a...

Hi again. Well they didn't need to go on ebay, basically between the friendly GSE and Macmillan cancer charity they got some information about government grants and are going for a new boiler instead. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi. Error code, I can't really remember which, e4 or e22. One of them codes meant they needed new pipe from gas to boiler and water pipe from boiler to immersion heater. I'm hoping the PCB wouldn't break down so quickly, I'm just being cautious. With it being out of warranty and 'old'...

Hello. And once again, thanks. That was the gse's estimate, what he said is it would be no more than £450. 256 plus vat plus postage, another part may need replacing, plus time etc. Without the other part and extra time it would be cheaper. Either way it's not a viable option. Nearly a...

Hi, and thanks for the reply. The next door neighbours friend is a gas safe engineer, he's just popped around. Input all the procedures and it still error44'd. Rang the remeha team and they have said the same thing as you, the PCB. Estimated cost of 256 plus vat, about 450£ fitted etc...

Hi. Thanks in advance for reading. Ok, here goes, and I am sorry if I take a bit of time replying, the boiler is about an hour away from me. My parents aren't the most savvy of people. So my mum as the Avanta 18v boiler in her house and it has an error code of 44 pop up. They had the...

Ok I get you, unfortunately the boiler is in my littlests' room, in a spare cupboard (I have no idea why) so I can't check on that just yet, but I will tomorrow. Are there internal filters in the DV? And would a wrongly fitted filter take over 5 years to make it work intermittently? The...

So what I think you are saying is that the thermo control unit tells the boiler it wants water, the pump starts up and this pushes the CH pushrod up, connects with the microswitch and we get heated water to the rads? I have not tried to bridge the thermo as it seems to be sending signals to...

Hi. Hopefully you super people one will be able to help us :) I apologise for this wall of text, trying to be as descriptive as possible, skip down to bottom for quick version. We have the Baxi 105 HE, with a wireless Drayton RF1 thermostat, it was installed about 5 or so years I think...
