Hi Ian, Thanks for the wisdom. All my previous combis have switched seamlessly back to CH after DHW useage, which is why I found it strange. Matt

Thanks Tony. Shame; I'd love to know why Ferroli saw fit to design it like that. Matt

Hi, I have a Ferroli F24 combi boiler, installed as part of a central heating system that was present when I purchased the property I live in. All is well except for the boiler shutting down the heating for three minutes after hot water is used, however briefly. I'm aware that this is 'normal...

Very many thanks to all replies. I'll paste up only two lengths at a time so I don't end up leaving them too long to soak. And I'll ensure that edges are well pasted. I may also use a lighter grade (1200); previous times I've lined rooms this problem hasn't occurred. Thanks again! Matt

Hi, I just lined a room, approx 28sqm, and all the lengths have either shrunk to leave gaps or lifted along the edges. I'm going to redo it, but I want to establish where I went wrong first. Here's what I did: -steam tripped all previous paper back to plaster; -sized the walls with...

Hi Seco, Not to worry; I found a T100E installation manual on the tlc-direct site. Thanks for the tip. :) Matt

Hi Seco, Hopefully this is a link to the image: Obviously the tubes of product are for scale. :) Matt

All sorts

Hi, I have an old Triton Brazilia electric shower installed, which I'm looking to replace. Before I start dismantling anything, does anyone have the installation instructions for the Brazilia? That way I can establish cable and pipe entry points etc. I tried with Triton but they don't seem to...

I'm replacing the plumbing in my kitchen (1904 tenement). Currently the sink has a 32mm P trap running in to a plastic pipe, which in turn connects to the original lead trap before exiting into the original waste (which looks to be about 3.5inch diameter iron). So I have two traps between...

I've been out of town the last few days. Looks like there was some blue touchpaper lighting going on! Hopefully it's all died down now... ChrisR/Agile: I never got chance to do exhaustive tests with the resistor, only to observe the error lamps. I'll do some more thorough testing tomorrow...

Tony, I'm not sure whether the tone of your response is meant in jest or not, but I don't think it's appropriate. I can see I made a logical error regarding the type of fault that could cause frost operation, but this is a forum for discussion, not condescension. Your test suggestions make...

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my earlier posts. The boiler's spurious frost protection operation is independent of any specific CH or DHW calls. Typically it occurs either when the boiler is otherwise idle (when it starts and stops spasmodically), or during normal CH operation (when the...

I measured the voltage across the CH temp sensor when cold: 4.33V DC. Placing a 27K (actually 26.61K) resistor across it had no effect. I would expect the manual to mention if a part has two functions. In fact the boiler brochure (not the manual) does mention that frost protection is inbuilt...

The CH probe measures 12.36K cold; within the range you stated. Cabling looks to be sound and there is no corrosion or tarnishing on the contacts. I did try exercising all the cable looms to see if it was a wiring issue, but that had no effect. The manual doesn't make mention of the probe's...

I went through the manual myself and found the service mode procedure. It seemed to be the obvious thing to try. Sadly I haven't been present the previous times they've tried to repair it. I will be next time however.

I have an Ideal mini C28 that has been playing up despite three attempts by the installers to fix the problem. The boiler starts, then stops before ignition, then starts again a few seconds later. They've changed membranes, cleaned valves, but it's still happening. I took a look at the...

My combi CH system had its first (1yr) service in February. Since then I've noticed a problem with the Ideal C28 boiler that's getting progressively worse. When CH is on, the boiler can be heard starting periodically (as you'd expect), but then it shuts off either just before the gas ignites...

Hi, I've had an Ideal C28 combi boiler installed for just over a year. Over the past few weeks I've occasionally found a stain on the worktop directly below the boiler in the mornings. After a bit of investigation, it seems that there is a small leak coming from the CH flow connecton. The...
