Ah jeez I stand corrected, I told you it was late. I was asked by the admin (is it Dan ?) to join the chamber a few years back, but I declined judging from some of replies then and from what I've read tonight it looks like things haven't changed too much. Some of these people scare me, a bit...

Lol yes this was entertaining

This sounds more like the pump/circulation than the famous air plane noise that valliant/glow worm suffer from. I only say circulation as you state it started after you played with the water system and with dirty brown water you probably have a air/leak issue causing oxyination of the water...

As above, just because the pin moves doesn't mean the valve seating isnt stuck, if tapping it with a hammer doesn't free it up it will need replacing. To test everything that has been stated. 1: keep the trv head on but turn it down to 0 2: wind the lock shield valve right down shut. 3: remove...

In gas ? yes. In using an iPhone late at night with fat fingers, not really. In laughing at one of the responses on here absolutely. And you ask if I'm qualified ?

Ok so we have more than 2 not to current standards (which no longer exist) so we can raise the classification to AR. If not to current no longer exists where do we stand ? As the above said we can only class as AR if combustion is being affected. The top flue is natural draught and probably has...

Behind the plate heat exchanger (below it) is the bypass pipe if this gets exceedingly hot when DHW is drawn then you probably have a plate blockage. More than likely it is the diverter passing. Buy the service kit, remove the water section and using a pair of grips unscrew the head from the...

First of all does the boiler actually recognise that a dhw demand has finished, ie does the dhw light go out after you have finished drawing dhw, if not check that the dhw valve spindle has withdrawn fully and is not making the micro switch, the spindle can sometimes get rusty and seize or you...

If it is a gravity system there will be no cylinder thermostat, the hot water is controlled by the boiler thermostat, another way to tell is if the flow and return pipes to the cylinder are in 28mm, that's a dead giveaway. The pump will only come on when the central heating is on with a demand...

I'll be blatantly honest with you my friend, as I feel the others are letting you off lightly. STOP PLAYING WITH THE BOILER. I understand the money issue, hell I fitted all my own cctv and alarm systems rather than pay out money, I've no idea when it comes to IT, but I've got some knowledge...

I too believe you are talking about the wrong thermostat, this sounds like the rt500 and if this is the case you will not be able to wire it in using just the 2 wire thermostat you currently have. Or are you confusing us and describing the receiver box that would be wired closer to the...

This looks a bit of a mare, I wouldn't worry too much about the auto air vent because at the moment you don't even have a neutral point with that set up. Sometimes they do an effective job, sometimes they leak, Sod's law, but try to keep them off any return pipe work, although I have fitted them...

Is this small vessel you talk of about the size of a tennis ball and blue ? This may be the mains mini expansion vessel and depending on mains water pressure, may, or may not be required. Please do not turn down the stop cock, this adjusts flow, not pressure. I can't recall, but is the 242 eh...

OMFG, I am ****ing myself, never did I think I would see the day that engineers could gob off back to a customer. We all know by now that we will never know as much as them, that's why we are the grease monkeys and they cross our palms with silver if we are lucky on a Friday. I would love to...

Not yet, but if you can do an icos prv in 20mins perhaps I don't belong in there with the real engineers, I had to work on an espirit this morning and I'm still sulking, at least it actually had some room to work in. Bring back the ideal classic, blooming bootiful boiler. I've only just...

Haha dan we were discussing this the other day, but it is so ****e that you remember it, marketing men earn more than us for a reason.

A power flush can't be expected to do it all. I normally add a cleansing agent for month before hand then one of our upgrade guys goes in and spends a day flushing the system, has a system filter been fitted to help collect any loose debris in the system ? Not really an expert on commercial...

Get a hive active heating thermostat from british gas, does the central heating, hot water, is wireless apart from the receiver which takes the place of your old clock beneath the boiler, I love these things they are so simple to use.

ALCP, I love this technique, especially when I'm not aware of it and I bleed the rad only to get called back with the customer saying, "it wasn't leaking until you serviced it" GRRRR one of these days Alice.

Tell me about it, but it is an ideal have you seen where their genius' designers put it ? It's almost as bad as the Worcester green star range where you have to remove the entire manifold section just to replace the prv. I swear things are getting worse, I thought the dhw diaphragm on the Cdi...
