Thanks for the fast reply & your help.

Hi all. I've tried searching but haven't found a solution to my peculiar problem. I've just refurbished bathroom; retiled all walls, new sink, new bath, new skirting & new flooring! Now the room is almost finished my wife wants to replace the old radiator (already off the wall so we...

BUMP!

Just been reading around a bit more and found several topics about radiators that are hot at top and cold at bottom. In this case bleeding is not needed but perhaps balancing the system would be more appropriate. Any thoughts on this? Should I try to balance the system first? Thanks

Thanks for all the helpful replies! Well, BG returned and replaced the heat exchanger and the pump! Pressure returned to normal (1.5 bar) and so far (3 days) boiler is a-ok! Only one minor (self-caused) problem: Before boiler was completely fixed I thought I'd be clever and bleed the...

I've got BG to pricematch a local quote for powerflush (much cheaper :lol: ) but still don't really don't want to spend any more money than necessary so my question still stands, is it possible to perform a powerflush myself, or at least something like it? Thanks

Ray84, thanks for the info. BG engineer thinks its heat exchanger - pressure is high, cold water goes into boiler when shouldn't causing pressure to remain high and therefore not letting boiler get to high temperature. As they've got to order part in it'll be replaced on monday. Thankfully...

Thanks for the replies! Update: Last night I bled the radiators! Lot of air! Pressure dropped to 1 bar. After 1 hour pressure had returned to 3 bar :shock: and radiators only luke warm. Any ideas? Still waiting for BG engineer

Thanks Baxmax, thought it might be a way of trying to screw money out of us! Could anyone please answer my question about operation, i.e. the boiler seems to cycle rather than constantly heat up the CH? Thanks

Hi there! I've got a Baxi Combi 105e (not instant) and within the last couple of days it appears to have developed a fault with CH. The HW heats up OK but the radiators are not getting hot and you can easily put your hand on them with no burns. I checked the boiler and the pressure...

Cheers mate!! I'm away now for a week (Easter break) but if i can't get it working I'll PM you when I get back.

bernardgreen - thanks for your help; I was being overly dramatic when i said that i heard a "BANG"!!! It in fairness more of a quiet pop - I' m sure the noise I heard was the circuit breaker tripping as I was next to the cupboard where they are (the isolator switch makes a loud click when you...

Thanks for the prompt reply! No - no screws, nails or anything like that. I've checked in the shower casing & it's still watertight - no corrosion on shower terminals. Hmmm. think I'd better get a sparky in for this!! Anyone else have any ideas???

Hi, hope you can help with a problem I have with my 10 year old Triton Bermuda electric shower. I live in a house with a combi-boiler / low pressure and so have an Electric Shower. This has worked well for the 2 years we have lived in the house! Now to the problem: Saturday night my...

Thanks for all your help - I'll give them a ring, get the part, kiss the girl & ride off into the sunset! Cheers!
