    I think your entitled to your opinion the same as everyone else, comments about CO poisoning are somewhat unfounded, no evidence to prove who is responsible for the most incidences , DIY - other trades or GS guys the figures over the years stay about the same, From your reply you make it sound...

    Ideal C24 HE Mini - no ignition

    That's the point I am trying to make, if they don't get an answer here or other forums , plenty of other options available, So you either point them in the right direction, or don't reply to their question.

    Then simple answer is Not to reply or give any advise to people asking for guidance not only on gas related questions but plumbing as well as most other things that people will fiddle with ! What about Mr DIY mechanic who plays around with the brakes on his car ! another unqualified person...

    Yes , For your information I have read all the reply's !! and that's where the thread should have been stopped (Closed) Been on a few of these forums and find some people quite arrogant and up themselves when they have been on them for several years try & to give the impression they are gods...

    Fine then why have a Plumbing & heating section ? it should just be for Plumbing problems, stands to reason people will ask about boiler problems in this section, and some of the reply's that are given to people are quite rude and inappropriate , Do they speak to their own customers in the same...

    Ideal C24 HE Mini - no ignition

    What's the point in these forums when no one is willing to give any sensible answers, if you don't want to advise the OP then don't reply, if he wants to work on his boiler that's down to him, better to point them in the right direction than let them spend unnecessary money, Lots of people mess...

    15mm JG pushfit pipe inserts needed??

    plumbing with RADWELD pipes

    1/2" pipe will match 15mm but 3/4" will have to adapt to 22mm use only compression joints on the old pipe then you can use push fit on new pipes only .

    Cutting old gas pipe to floor level & sealing

    Would never advise doing DIY on gas pipe ! even if they think it's disconnected, could finish up putting a compression fitting under floor, or even a push fit, Get a Gas Safe guy in to do it then test to confirm no leaks, Customer can save money by exposing pipe.

    Strange boiler issue- can anyone explain?

    As you say other things to check, but boiler is working but slow to fire on hot water, with out seeing it I would start with water valve , good boiler but tight for working on, would think diaphragm's were still available.

    Cutting old gas pipe to floor level & sealing

    Again call GS they will give you numbers of engineers close to you, no idea what cost would be in London down here no more than £50. people think that just because NG do something its ok, quite a lot of times its not. As with most things get 2 or 3 prices

    Strange boiler issue- can anyone explain?

    Right hand side of boiler is a plastic cover this covers the micro switch for hot water due to wear the screw may not be making full contact but more than likely the rubber diaphragm in the diverter valve is weak and needs replacing should still be available (Part 01-0457) may even have some at...

    Cutting old gas pipe to floor level & sealing

    That is not an acceptable way of sealing a gas pipe, must have a proper cap end, if under floor must be a soldered one, how do you know that pipe is completely dead , remember its your house that's at risk and not doing it correctly could invalidate your insurance. Want to know rules for sealing...
