Hi, I get it serviced every year but none of them check the vessel. I watch them do it. I've used different people over the years too cause Ive never found one I've totally been happy with. I've had some that just hoover the boiler and test the emissions. Some that scrape stuff off the...

Thanks for your help. So for reference for next time - as I'll forget what to do when it happens in 5 years time again: Switch off boiler - (don't touch isolation valves i.e leave open) Drain boiler via boiler drain point Pressurise vessel to spec (0.75 bar / 11 psi) (boiler pressure gauge...

So I drained as much as I could with boiler isolated via drain cock near boiler. I used the PRV to check if there was still water and there was so I drained the rest out via the PRV (I know I shouldn't do this but it was already leaky). Pumped expansion vessel to 11psi (0.75 bar) and this time...

Hi guys, 5 years later and this has happened to me again - have lost pressure in the expansion vessel and PRV released water (now leaking slightly which I hopefully settled like last time). Vessel had tiny amount of air come out - no water. So I need to pressurise the vessel again: - boiler...

Hi guys. The problem was in the hallway and the landing even though the chandelier was only for the hallway. Fed up, it was just by chance I decided to try the landing too...where it was the same problem again. So electrician started in the landing and went in the attic, that's where he...

Hi Tony, I did read it, I used the PRV because it's already been blowing off since January when I spotted the pressure drops. Although I can isolate the boiler flow/return I haven't figured out how else to drain it. I think the only thing thats not clear from your FAQ is that some form of...

The boiler was isolated from water by closing the inlet/outlet and drained of water via the PRV.

Hi need some help. Been having a problem where my worcestor bosch greenstar condensing system boiler the pressure would increase to 3bar and the PRV would open... Pressed the schrader valve and only air came out, pressure was low though not much air in it. Drained the boiler then...

Just an update, called an Electrician out. There were these little capacitor type things he referred to them as 'chaulk' from fluroscent lights, that were reducing something (power?) to the light fittings causing them to dim. Once he removed these 'chaulks' the chandeliers switched on fully lit.

Did this, nothing else was turned on.

Should I swap N & E over and try to wire like that in the connector block? Does it matter considering I then tried a class 2 chandalier that only asked for L & N but same problem? Or is it time I called an electrician out? How much cost should I be looking at to resolve this as money is a...

It's definately not the chandalier - because I have 2 of them and both are completely different. The 2nd chandalier I wired up also exhibited the same problem when adding more lamps, this one also didn't require an earth unlike the first one I tried.

There are more lights in the same gang switch. This light can be turned on by either: 2 gang switch - switch 1 chandalier - switch 2 turns outside front light on (energy saving bulb) 3 gang switch - swtich 1 chandalier - switch 2 turns on cloak room light (energy saver) -...

No dimmer switch.

Hi there, There was 1 sleeve and inside of that were 3 wires: brown, blue, yellow/green. Then there was a separate single wire dropping from the ceiling which was also a yellow/green. Seems like I had 2 earths? The light fitting also had a brown, blue, yellow/green so I joined...

Hi, hope someone can help. In my hallway I had a basic ceiling light fitting on a low power energy saving bulb. Missus got a chandalier form Wilkinson's over a year ago that I never got round to fitting until now...was a Jerrico 5 candle chandalier for £40. Each lamp holder can take up to...
