I've bought an outside hose kit, it's exactly what it said it would be ( not suitable for pressure washers) I imagine this is due to the self cutting tap that has the same pressure as my late 40s bladder, I've bought a 15 mm Tee compression to replace it, however I can't find a 3/4 male (...

I've just bought a reconditioned pcb for my ferroli 901, I've had one in the past from the same company no problems, when I plugged this one in the leds just come on very faintly and go off, the clock works and the pump runs but nothing else, is this likely to be a faulty board, all wires...

I've just fitted an external expansion vessel to my ferroli as the internal one was passing a lot of water, it's created another problem, it all went well, fitted to return pipe ( i double checked) joint eventually stopped leaking but then.... When I fire up the boiler in burns for about...

Evening , The expansion vessel is ****ing water , wont hold pressure , its one of those pain in the backside ones that are round like a steering wheel and on the back of a ferroli 901 , I can see how it all plumbs in and can buy a new one for £50 , however can this be removed without taking...

I've a combi boiler with an auto air valve, the cap is missing, it's been missing for years, when I press the valve down water shoots out, otherwise it doesnt leak at all, I'm assuming this is faulty, I'd appreciate any advice, I can change it if needed for about £20, it's not in the...

Ok, I know it needs chucking but I'm currently skint so I'm trying to drag it out. My Ferroli 901 used to short cycle, now I don't know if I misunderstood short cycling but the water / heating used to turn off because the Thermistors were faulty, hot, cold, hot again. I always thought...

My gas boiler is weeks away from the scrapheap , I have a few questions regarding electric boilers , I have a 1 bathroom , 2 bed terrace . according to the info I have read from a size point of view this is suitable. If I get a gas engineer to remove the old one , could I potentially install...

I've added spurs before however not via a junction box, all cables currently run up into a one level void ceiling space which I can access but not get into because it's narrow, it a galley kitchen but all the plugs are at one end with electric wires running to rear which is bathroom...

Good morning , hope you all had a great Christmas , Ive got a optima 901 boiler combi which is short cycling , heating is ok , its the hot water that runs cold, hot, cold. its possibly the heat exchanger , however the boilers too old to replace this part , it wouldnt be cost effective. Its...

Good morning , can anyone tell me where I can buy 6011 weld rods either online or in the Birmingham area , everywhere seems to sell 6013 but not 6011. is there another name for 6011 as searches mainly bring back American suppliers , I am currently repairing an old 1970s bumper , the second hand...

This morning I discovered that there was brown water coming from the hot tap only (all hot taps) , looks like the sort of thing you get when road works have taken place , however not the case as only the hot tap effected, this is obviously something to do with the boiler. Everything I have found...

I know it needs scrapping , however my finances currently disagree with me regarding that decision. Currently boiler doesnt turn on in morning, this is because pressure has dropped to 1.0 , as soon as I top it up using the loop to 1.5 it kicks in , PRV and pipes all seem fine , cannot locate...

My washing machine was banging so I assumed it was the bearing, I spent 2 hours getting into the guts of it so now it's just an empty metal box and bits, I think I remember where everything goes, it wasnt the bearings, the "spider " at the back cracked, the picture looks like it's really...

The pump seems to be moving the water, however Pump is getting very hot indeed, I've removed the small metal disk and it does spin freely and doesn't make a noise, please look at attached advice, is this suggesting that I turn boiler back on with the metal disc removed? Won't that throw...

I own a terraced house, the boiler is upstairs, the one Rad with a drain fitting is a step up from the others downstairs so im a bit concerned that the 3 others downstairs won't empty. Can I turn off gas to boiler, leave the cold water flow to the boiler on and attach a hose to the Rad drain...

My wife has purchased a lightweight ceiling rose (polystyrene) , she's the designer and I'm the magician that's going to make it all happen ( sigh!) It's move or less flat , I've done one before with no issues. I removed the light fitting and there's a lot of wires up there as well as a hook...
