I've recently replaced my door lock mechanism to a winkhaus cobra. I realised yesterday that the cobra can work with a one piece spindle or a split one. So i assume I measure my old spindle and buy a split one of the same overall length with the split right in the middle, ive also noticed some...

Info from Strom is that the hot water temp sensor throws up this fault. Should be able to check the operation of the flow sensor with a multimeter across the terminals as well.

Thanks for that info.

Local gas Safe engineer. He couldn't test it today because Strom office closed at 4.30 and he didn't arrive till after that so couldn't get the resistance look up table.

Engineer had a look at the boiler today, Strom provided some tests, measurements to take from the triac board and that all passed. Today though it wouldn't do any heating at all and kept showing 72 degrees momentarily before the E7 fault flashed up. So engineer now thinks the temp sensor is...

Thanks, compressing the springs is hairy. I've got some spring compressors and did it on my Corsa after one of the springs broke.

Oh yeah it's a hard water area, the boilers only a few years old, I don't think the previous owner ran it much as he had moved into a barge and was doing it up to sell.

He's been on the phone to them, so could be temp sensors, flow sensor, heating element scale build up, main PCB fault, triac board fault, etc. They gave him the number of an engineer in our area.

Think he has managed to find an engineer to come out and look at it. Will let you all know what they find

You can but it just keeps going up to 72 degrees and cutting out.

We've tried adjusting that but just can't get it to work properly. I've now got one of those flow rate cups so we can set it a bit more accurately

Reset the thermal cutouts and it doesn't seem to be that. We can adjust the flow so that it heats the water but it keeps going upt to 72 degrees whereupon it cuts out. My nephew tonight got it to work with the kitchen tap but it's coming out scalding hot.

Thanks I'm going over to reset the thermal cutouts in a while, the flow rate and temp are ok when I checked them last night.

My nephews Strom boiler has error code E7, so no hot water. The heating side is working Ok. Does anyone on here have any experience of these boilers?

Thanks John, another check to add to my list.

Thanks John, I will try that.

The car has to be moving to hear the noise and it's louder in the car than outside

My son's Corsa e has had new inner and outer tie rods, new drop links as well in the last year. In the past month at low speeds it has made this creaking noise especially when turning, you can just feel it on the top mount and the outer tie rod on the driver's side but I'm at a loss to know...

Think you might need to post more photos. The plastic verge looks like it isn't sitting properly, looks really flimsy. The adhesive strip under hip looks like it's not bonded at one point under the tiles. I'm not a roofer though.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I've ordered the cobra which arrived today, fits but needs a bit of fine tuning.
