Hi all can anyone advise me how to make my boiler heat water so it hurts to touch? When I run a bath I do not need to put cold water in and yet it still is not hot enough. Sometimes I need to boil pans just to pour in which defeats the purpose of a boiler. Also the radiators do not seem to...

Hey thanks so much for the help really appreciate it. I will have a proper look at that manual tomorrow after all the dinner has been done with its going to be chaos as it is lol. I will print out what you have told me to do also so I have it to hand. unfortunately the guy who fitted the...

Yes mate sure do. The boiler is a Viessmann. Vitodens 200. CE-0085 B00342. Thanks for looking in to this.

Cheers for the reply mate. I can not see any stop cocks around the boiler whatsoever the only shut off I can see is the big yellow one for the gas. I find it pretty stupid to be honest what I was going to do is just shut the boiler down fully water gas electricity until after xmas but cant...

Hi everyone again and happy Christmas to all. My boiler pressure gauge seems to have a slow leak but seems to be getting a little worse each day. I did not want to mess with it until at least the day after boxing day just in case the job requires a plumber which to be honest at this time of...

Cheers for all the help everyone sorted it earlier. Deffo will invest in equipment next time.

Ill just have to trust it one last time. Ill touch it with the voltage tester screwdriver I have which is an inductance breakpoint test too.

Ok Ill do that tomorrow. Its way too dark to do anything like that now.

I am mate like I say I know I should have everything I do not fancy being fried. I know you do not recommend touching anything without the equipment to make sure it is 100% dead but do you think from looking at the pics I can put the live in to live and the Neutrals in to Neutrals and get it...

How would I find the MCB rating? Edit on the fuse it says Type 1 6A.

You mean like a freezer socket switch? Theirs a boiler one now where the fridge used to go but no fridge one anymore. Yes the upstairs lights are on the same circuit. It just gets better and better. When I switch the fuse marked upstairs lights nothing happens they all stay on. But when I hit...

Have you read my newest post mate? I think im in a pickle with this one.

Jesus I think its safe to say this does not look like it will be an easy job to say the least hopefully I am mistaken. Ok just went to take some more pics this time to try get a better one I would have had to hold the fitting. Its dark now in the UK so I left the light on that needs changing...

Ye ill give it a try

It was like that when I took it off the other day. It was not connected to anything but had sheath over it but you can not make out the color. I thought it was best to wrap it up in insulation tape. When I get the new one up I will shorten it a little and use a chock block.

Yup I know that now in the new year I am going to invest in equipment.

Do you mean the item in the far back? If you do thats just a broken screw socket with the screw still half way in.

Yes mate it is an ES fitting. Was hoping not to have to purchase a continuity tester as this is the last electrical item to be fitted everything else was just sockets pretty straight forward also I have done lights before so was hoping this would be a simple job too. So would you stick both...

Hi everyone again should be the last time I ask for help as this is the last electrical I item that I need to do. Well anyhow I have bought a new light fitting but seem a bit puzzled on this one where to insert the wires. Trouble is I can not afford to stick the wire in to the wrong hole as...

The old lights are already connected to a strip. So its good and safe just to connect them all up then?
