Thanks Madrab, I will keep an eye on it for the next few days. Right now, 6 or so hours after I tightened if, all is still dry, no drips. ch system water is hot. Hw has it's own switch at the control unit, and 2 story house has zone valves, upstairs, down stairs and hot water (not sure of any...

Ok. so I was having a nosey today to see if I could shut off the water supply to a bathroom tap as it needs a washer. While having a look in around the water tank, I found a new problem. I noticed a dripping on the floor from the tank. On further inspection I noticed the floorboard had been a...

Thank you very much everyone for the help. All up and running now thanks to you guys.

I picked up my new thermostat today I’m happy to say. Could anyone be a saint and tell me what wires from the old thermostat go where in the new thermostat? I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you, much appreciated. I will be back once I have my hands on the new one to check about the wiring lol

Good question... The main one is that i am having to turn the thermostat up to around 27.5 to keep it calling for heat. Also... for quite some time, it has been making a sound when it turns off. Like an electrical interference type sound & it takes a few seconds of this sound before it turns...

Hi guys, so I am looking to replace the room themostat in my bedroom, it is this one: Would I be able to "like for like" replace it with this one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/honeywell-home-t6360b-1036-room-thermostat/26159 I have 2 room thermostats in total. This one in an upstairs...

Hi Terry, to get the motor running again, I “unplugged it & then plugged it back in again”.... Now, update.. 1 new oil pump later and the boiler is running. Boiler man says that the oil ran low & it probably sucked in gunk to the pump and killed it. he checked the oil coming into the filter...

So before I start, I have a boiler man coming tomorrow, but I'll just share an update. Yesterday, with the boiler not working I set about trying to get it to work. I saw the oil in the tank was very low, but it was not empty. So, I filled 120l of kero into the tank & bled the boiler though...

Cheers guys, will try the pump tomorrow in the better light again.

no point trying a capacitor then?

ok, thanks guys, tried to short the capacitor but no reaction. will try to source another one locally and report back. thanks again for the help.

Thank :) is it safe to just pull of off now at the connectors? I’ll take it with me to a local shop.

Thank you Terry I am going to try a new capacitor & a few hundred litres of oil. The capacitor looks pretty simple to change, but these can be dangerous right? Does it need discharged? I'll disconnect the boiler from the mains & pull off the capacitor at the spade connectors? Lastly, can I...

update: unplugged & plugged in the boiler from the mains (leads in boiler housing), this seems to have given power again, loosened bleed vavle - oil is there and is pumping when boiler tries to start but it doesnt fire. I just checked the oil I am a bit low in the sense the oil lovel has...

My oil heating is set on timer to come on every morning. I noticed 3 or 4 of mornings ago it didnt come on. I was able to press a reset button that was behind a cover that i screwed off on a small grey box (see picture) and the burner fired. Fast forward to yesterday morning and the burner...

This is the only bit I could see that didn’t look too clever. Mainly because it looked like something that was coiled at a stage and went off. Bit of sticky glue type stuff around it as well. No black marks anywhere, this is the only thing that looked off. How does that look to people who know...

Sorry, I should have said. It’s a Leisure DWLT 65. It is about 13 years old. It has just completed a wash cycle at 50c. Heated the water and dried no problem. I was wondering if running it at max temp would have caused it to trip - wouldn’t explain the bang though when things had cooled down...

Started my empty dishwasher last night on a 70c wash. Just one of those Dettol cleaning Bottles in it. Woke this morning, Dishwasher was power off, water in the bottom of it. Main board had tripped. So... I turned off the wall switch and reset the trip on main board. Then I proceeded to flick...

It does have that feel about it, doesn’t it....
