    How to connect the copper pipe with lead pipe

    Be extra careful using a leadloc. I hear of someone cutting a lead pipe under a floor recently, using a hacksaw, unfortuantley for him it wasn't a lead mains. It was a lead sleeved incoming mains electricity supply........

    Remeha avanta plus 28c noisy

    Had this on one of these the other day. Was dirt not just in the system but the pipework too. Check the flow and return pipes aren't partially blocked. Try the copper pipes with a magnet to see if it sticks to them. I ended up cutting a load out and renewing.

    Baxi Bermuda back boiler

    the bermuda range must be crap as they sold so many of them. I agree with Agile. regular servicing will keep a BBU in working order longer than a modern boiler.

    Baxi 105e Hot Water Scaled up HE? Any comments?

    Bigno. Yes your plate HE is probably blocked. It only takes a very small amount of debris to block approx' 24 grammes. You could take out the HE and clean it out. Kettle descaller and a rubber hammer is a good way. let the descaller lay in the HE for a while then beat the thing with a rubber...
