I have a 53 Plate Astra Van 1.7 Diesel, I bought it about a month ago and it was sluggish to start, I ran the battery down and had to recharge it, just refitted the battery and the engine is cranking but wont start. I know it has had a new battery and starter fitted in the last few months. I...

Hi Jim, my current employers may be able to offer you something (See my profile) ;)

Hi folks, having a bad day! Managed to lock my keys in the car with the engine running. Broke rear passenger quarterlight to open doors now i need to replace it Could someone give me some advice on how to remove quarterlight and replace with one from salvage yard as I need to remove it...

oops sorry mate leading you a bit astray No Diverter valve on the 35CDi My best guess would be the flow switch Worcester Part No. 87161212010

How long are you running the tap for bearing in mind there will be a small amount of cold water remaining in the pipework until the boiler kicks in and begins to heat the hot water. Usually allow 30 seconds or so if it is a long pipe run. One way to check is to open the taps then go to the...

Personally I would recommend an unvented hot water system for that type of shower, especially if you have excellent cold mains pressure. As far as the boiler goes, I'd go for a vaillant or Worcester Bosch System Boiler.

Unless you live on a main road with all the windows open then you should only expect a background CO reading of 1-2 parts per million (PPM) The World Health Organisation state that readings in excess of 30PPM are dangerous (If investigating a CO incident we evacuate at this point). 100PPM...

Sounds like your valve is passing, reasonably common and likely if your CH system wasn't flushed properly when it was installed. There is not a great deal of movement on the spindle with a 3port valve. Sounds like you need a new valve body mate.

Hi tony, the engineer says it wasn't there when he arrived which means he's put it in a 'Safe' place and then forgotten about it. I really appreciate this. Lee Balfour 28 Parkgate Alva Clackmannanshire FK12 5BZ Thanks again

Thanks very much for your input guys, think i'll leave it as NCS and cover my own as it were.

Can anyone give me a definitive answer on how to classify this on an existing installation. Tightness test perfect. U6 in standard enclosure. Thanks

Sounds like a blocked cold feed pipe to me, easiest way to check is to open the system drain cock and see if the header tank drains.

probably the fan speed resistor, gold thing attached to bottom of combustion chamber, gets f***ing hot.

you'll be looking at about 4.5k all in i expect. your initial research is fine but dont hit the installer with "I can get the materials for x amount" because they'll likely turn and walk away. By all means specify the boiler/cylinder/controls but let the installer supply and fit. If you...

I stand proud as one of the few that Dr Divel has not had reason to disagree with

sounds like the low water pressure switch has gone too, it can be unplugged from the board as a temporary measure.

Sorry BMU Err, on Vaillant VRT360F Wireless room stat. Vaillant 937 installed 2 weeks ago with above remote stat. Anyone know what this means?, doesn't seem to be interrupting DHW or Heating operation though.

I'm an ex-BG engineer and I have no problem with the engineers or the work that they do. I was a BG apprentice, one of the first new batch in 1999. BG as a company are no longer serving the needs of their customers and as some point out, they are more interested in selling new boilers and...

I may be wrong but it looks like this has been photoshopped. Look at the brickwork around the flue, it looks like an old BF terminal has been there before which of course it couldn't have been due to the rainwater pipe. Anyone else think this is a wind-up?
