Sounds like it's a job for a tradesman one way or another.... :roll:

Think we've covered it Chris, he'll either get it right or he'll run away and find a plumber...... "Don't panic it's only water", (Captain Smith, Titanic, 1940 something). :lol: :lol: :lol:

check auto air vent cap is open, (not sure if it is inside the combustion chamber on those), and if it is give it a knock, check that the pump is running and also check that both flow and return valves are open under the boiler.

Check out if there is an overheat stat on the boiler that needs reseting, (push button), or it could be an automatic reset overheat stat that has not reset, if it is disconect the t/couple and remove the fitting on the back of the gas valve and refit the t/couple, if it works replace the o/h...

Before installing the basin put the wast fitting in first and put a little silicone sealant around the joints and don't overtighten, (just over hand tight), the small threaded hole should face the back of the basin. Clean off any excess silicone thoroughly now as you won't get it off when it's...

Never tried it but have installed underfloor with a plastic flexible pipe, (not like hep2o), and the method was to fix it tight under the boards with first fix type clips and insulate beneath the pipes to direct the heat upwards. Have often thought about doing what you are thinking of with...

Poss causes may be the HW flowswitch or sensors, try swaping the leads over from the HW to the CH and see if it works then....

This is a long shot but is there a resistor screwed to the chassy somewhere ??? as if this has broken down it will cause the fuse to blow, as I said a long shot but worth 5 mins looking, if there is unscrew it from the chassy and try again.

In reply to above their can't be any differenct to using the fire in the spring or autumn if you were using an immersion heater for the hot water even though the back boiler is there, so what are they saying, if your gas valve goes down or the thermo couple goes or you just don't want to use the...

Had a similar prob with a glow worm compact combi, every time I took out the solonoids out on the gas valve,(completely rubber seatings the lot), and re fitted them the damn thing worked for a few days and then reverted back, got in touch with manufacturers and they said pcb. (also had low...

Is the timer on the boiler or a separate control ???

a picture would'nt go amiss

Pull the pin up SLOWLY with a pair of pliers, give the valve a rap on the side with a hammer, (yes it does work every now and again) or as above get rid...

those taps are called supertaps, (yeh I know), and you get the head off by undoing that big nut below the H, you will then need a special washer, (I think they have a brass seating attatched to them), but you'll need to go to a propper plumbing outlet for them. Most people just change the...

sounds like you need to fill the system up via the filling loop. 1. Locate the filling loop, (usually a flexible hose with what looks like a washing machine tap at one or both ends and usualy by the boiler) 2. Turn the boiler off and open the tap or taps until the guage on the boiler reads...

Try blocking off the open vent to the domestic tank temporarily, ( tape it up tightly with a plastic bag or similar), and test it then , if it runs ok then it's air getting in from there because it can't draw the water fast enough from the cylinder. Can't say what it could be because would...

try to get a brass one not aluminium...

They're that old even Noah refused to have em on the arc...... :D Almost certainly th pin inside is stuck down inside the TRV restricting the flow, undo the big nut below the white plastic ander the grey head, pull the head off and try to release the pin underneath with a pair of plyers or...

I take it that when heat is called for the pump does run ??? I notice you said you've replaced the mid pos valve, have you wired it back up correctly so that the orange wire from the valve feeds both the pump and the boiler live? one way to check this, if the pump does run, is to check the...
