Hi Please can you help? I have had no hot water for nearly 3 weeks now. The combi boiler has been checked by an engineer several times, and we have managed to run hot water off from it via a hose and not through a tap. No error messages appear either. Once you try to run hot water through...

I have a Punto 1.2 ELX (X reg) and for the last 3 months or so it has been snacking on headlamp bulbs. Each time the normal beam goes, whereas the high beam stays intact. I change one and then the opposite one goes in a matter of days. Current has been checked at a garage, but open to...
