I am an RGI, but Siemens still refused to give me the info because my landlord is a Housing Association. I found this however

Just scrapped one in Manchester, working, saved gas valve, stat, pilot etc for fleabay, will post out for 30 squid

Knowing what make you are dealing with seems to be half the battle. I had exactly this problem of the cistern filling every 20 mins because the flush valve was leaking and took the valve to my local plumbers' merchant, who gave it to their rep for a week. The rep identified it as Geberit and...

Hi all, got called out to connect a cooker and chap mentions his worcester 24 cdi getting DHW but no heating. One od the old ones where you can't see the plate HE. It works OK if you press the reset button, stays on, doesn't cut out etc, but won't fire up, cold or hot, on its own. DHW fires up...

I was ready to bypass it but the customer was worried about the legality. She'll have to get Harry Tuttle in.

Just had a call to a customer with a burst water meter located outside a house divided into flats. Checked with United Utilities if I could bypass it since they are "flooded with calls" and of course they said No, but could not give any kind of time frame to attend to it themselves. Does...

Bengasman is not incorrect: Nostradamus was Michel de Nostredame. As a cunning linguist, I would like to add that the circumflex accent usually over the "o" of Notre Dame denotes a missing letter "s" that existed in the archaic form, and is shaped like a hump. I also predict that peepl on this...

Sorry, I know this post is a year old, but the answer may help somebody. I recently replaced the flow switch in an F30 with fluctuating DHW, as the thermistor tested ok, but it was an expensive failure at £44. If the boiler fires up with the inner cover off, suspect flue related stuff, in this...

Cheers! It might solve a dispute with the customer over time spent chasing pan connectors. Some jobs I wish I had listened to that gut feeling when they phoned me.

I like the Intergas combi too; I have only fitted one - for a friend in November, but runs quiet and no complaints. No plate heat exchanger, diverter valve, air pressure switch, automatic air vent, pump isn't used for DHW, 10 year guarantee on heat exchanger, seems a lot less to go wrong and a...

Anyone had trouble with getting a pan connector onto one of the current Wickes £50 special offer W.C.s? Is it my imagination or is the spigot length of about 40mm unusually short? I just found it wouldn't go all the way into the seal and the connector just kept jumping off. I have probably only...

Can anyone recommend a replacement head for a triton t100e that won't blow thr PRD? Is this one on Screwfix OK? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/47429/Bathrooms-Showers/Showers-Enclosures/Shower-Accessories/Shower-Heads-Handsets/Triton-White-Shower-Head

I have just noticed on the Gas Safe Register website that a member of the public can look up your licence number and see your photo, to verify your identity. Seems a good idea at first - prevent someone with a forged card from impersonating a bona-fide operative - but doesn't it make it even...

Got a £14 credit by way of refund!

Too good to be true? Well a bit! I began to place an order today for a boiler and flue and was quoted a much higher price than in the catalogue. The over assertive sales girl was insistant that she had her VAT sums right, but didn't seem hear me quote the nett catalogue price, although I must...

OOPS, I think you mean those BIASIs - just put one in this week, but the customer chose it. Came with 6 rads for about £850. What problems can I expect? Should I advise her to get a service contract with a very large British-based Gas company? Surprised that CORGI make such a deal about the...

I found this discussin loking for help with a Myson Midas B. The pumps (there are 2: CH and DHW) are not like the normal ones with a slotted cap the size of a 20p piece that you undo to rotate the spindle with a screw driver. They have a hexagon nut which seems to unscrew just so far then stays...
