Hi everyone, I've been trying to solve a short-cycling DHW problem on my Microgenus II 31 MFI (NON HE). I had a spare pump so I changed that first - no difference. I then noticed that the bypass pipe was getting super hot so decided that it was likely that the original 18 year old...

Hi, I had something of a boiler nightmare at the weekend. I've noticed occasionally that the DHW was failing to run and the flow switch LED was failing to illuminate and having already changed the clip on part of the flow detection circuit, I bought the replacement flow switch cartridge. This...

Hi, I have to vent our cooker hood through a tile on a pitched roof as the cooker backs on to a wall on the boundary with our neighbour. See pic below - vent will be second row up. The ducting is installed and is 125mm rigid circular totalling about 2.5m. It runs up from the hood into the...

Hi, My 18 year old Microgenus II 31 is going into E33 when DHW is running with a high flow rate. It is OK with a lower flow rate. Error E33 means "The air pressure switch is closed before the ignition sequence" The observed behaviour is that a hot tap is opened fully and the boiler ignites...

Hi all, Just after a little pointer towards a new tap valve for my elderly mother in law. The hot tap on her bath filler is only capable of a dribble and I suspect it needs a new valve. I've said I'll fix it when I go round on Saturday so I could do with getting the part tomorrow. If it was...

Hi all, just after a little advice on a DHW flow sensor problem I'm having. I've noticed recently that the kitchen hot tap needs to be turned to approx half of full flow before the boiler ignites and heats the water. I'm certain it used to turn on at a lower flow rate. Additionally, we...

Help! I'm doing the worktops on my kitchen extension and something is wrong with my setup. I've done loads of practices and every one comes out with a gap on the radius of the join. You can see what I mean in these pics ==> 20200406_194655 by Get_Army posted 7 Apr 2020 at 5:05...

Hi, I'm building a kitchen extension. On the existing half of the kitchen there is the original screed which is nice and flat. I've screeded the new half of the kitchen and utility room. I'm generally very happy with the levelness that I've achieved, however there is a small ridge across one...

Hi all, I was hoping for some tips from those who have done this before. Can I also say that I'm only up for DIY on the water side of the system. I don't think any of this will involve the gas side but if it does then rest assured I'll be on the phone for a pro. My boiler died yesterday -...

Hi, I'm looking for some guidance with a screeding task I have to do in the next couple of days. I'm self-building a corner extension to the side of my kitchen and rear of my garage and also converting the rear 2m of the garage to a utility room. The existing kitchen floor level is around...
