    VR 10 and VR 11 probes with Vaillant VR 71 Wiring Centre

    Thank you! I inferred you can only use their own cylinders from everything I have read that Vaillant publishes, which is not just marketing material, and scouring this and other forums for experiences to the contrary. If they want to make clear that any cylinder can be used they could still...

    Can you use Vaillant WC controls with conventional hot water cylinder?

    Hello. I have an Ecotec Plus system boiler with noddy controls (programmer and room stat). I'd like to improve on that with a weather compensating control. However, all seem to insist that they're only compatible with a Unistor cylinder. I have a perfectly serviceable high recovery gravity-fed...

    VR 10 and VR 11 probes with Vaillant VR 71 Wiring Centre

    Awaking this old thread... I've got an Ecotec Plus system boiler with conventional hot water cylinder, and it's always irked me that I indeed have the simplest form of control, with programmer and room stat. So not only is there no weather compensation, but the boiler isn't even aware of whether...

    Finishing the end of a conservatory

    The outside of my unusual conservatory needs finishing. Above the doors is a 152 mm steel beam (approx. 4.3 m), which has the grey factory coating. On top of the steel are aluminium window frames - with no sill - in RAL 7016. They are only a few mm behind the front of the flange of the steel...

    Vaillant 837 Combi Boiler - No hot water

    That's not what Vaillant says. I'll see if anyone else has some advice.

    Vaillant 837 Combi Boiler - No hot water

    Yep, I haven't had the unnecessary annual service so the warranty will have expired. An annual service is an expensive blunt instrument which takes no account of how much the boiler has been used. Do you have any suggestions, other than throwing money at Vaillant? By the way, the boiler...

    Vaillant 837 Combi Boiler - No hot water

    I found this thread because I have the same F70 error, though not an F42 (which would be easy). My boiler is a post-2012 618 (not a combi) and I assumed it would be the main board which I've exchanged to no avail. I'm now guessing it's logging this fault because it's getting something on its...

    Can I rotate a uPVC window through 90 degrees?

    I've got a concrete shed with a wooden window which is rotten, so I am tempted to replace it with a second hand uPVC window. The aperture is more "landscape" than "portrait" (about 80cm by 50cm), and quite often opening windows come up which would fit quite nicely if they were rotated. I am...

    Conservatory roof privacy

    Thanks for the replies. I could use obscured glass, but then of course I couldn't see the sky either so might as well just have polycarbonate. Mirrored glass might be a possibility but I have yet to investigate if it's available for conservatory roofs and it might be a nuisance to the...

    Conservatory roof privacy

    Creative thoughts please! I've had a hardwood/glass conservatory on my southish-facing kitchen wall for about 15 years which now needs replacing. I am not expecting it to be a habitable room all year round but I am hoping to improve on what's there at the moment, so I'm thinking...
