Thanks mate You have put my mind at rest Marc

Thanks for the quick response The house is about 30 years old. The cracks have developed over the last year I would say. In response to your question - yes, in the places where the cracks appear, it is hollow. What does that mean ? Will a surveyor think it is subsistence and condemn...

Hi all, I hope you can help me here. I have just sold my house and am very worried about the surveyors report. Although nothing came up 6 years ago when we bought the house, I think he will notice some cracks in the plaster around the walls - mainly upstairs. The cracks appear random...

Hi all, I have a Saunier Duval 40FF Boiler In the last few days, I have satrted getting a kettle noise coming from it 1) What could be causing the problem ? 2) Is it serious - ie. If I ignore it, will anything happen ? Cheers :)

Thanks Tony. I understand, having read through this thread, that I haven't been very clear - sorry. I'm panicking thats all - DIY is not my forte ! Now then - now you know what my system is, can I ask a few questions for you to answer please 1) I am assuming that, with the whole...

OK, its a Suanier Duval 40FF Xeon Can my model be fitted on an open vented system ??

Mine's a 40ff I'm feeling a little bit happier about the ventilation situation because, but for the left hand side, it is ventilated as it should be. My main concern is this flaming noise like a kettle - again, if I left it is my boiler likely to pack in in the short term ???

Howay man croydon mate Give the lad a break !!! - my MI says 132 from above and 132 from below No one has yet answered this question - what are the implications of my boiler not having the correct ventilation ??

Yes mate Its a Xeon Oh and BTW, the kettling has started again after about an hour of no noise, you would think I was making tea again

Installer was CORGI registered. It was over a year ago, but with only one year's guarantee. I am going to attempt to get the boiler serviced this week by a CORGI registered person. I'll let you know what he says. I assume that if I find out it has been improperly fitted, that can still...

And now the strangest thing has happened !!! I have been up in the loft to have a look at the header tank. I pressed the ballcock doen to let some more water in, and then wiggle my finger about uin the outlet pipe ... and now the noise has gone !!!!!!! :o :o :o :o What was...

I'm a maths teacher :cry: :cry: :cry: I understand the measurements, I just wondered what it meant by high and low - if it meant space above the boiler and below - or a hole in the cupboard door of that measurement - I'll get me coat !!!!

So, there has to be a hole above the boiler of 132 cm squared, or a hole into the cupboard ??

High and Low should both be 132 cm squared from the room - what does that mean ?

Thanks mate In response to your questions 1) I have had problems with air lock in the system before - wonder iof this is that 2) The system was completely flushed and an inhibitor added when it was fitted. We had a problem with the boiler when it was first fitted and 'Homecall' -...

What are high level and low level vent areas ? Above and below ?? They are in cm squared not cubed Not sure - I'm no good at this stuff !!!

The instruction manual says " The boiler is room sealed and does not require the room or space containing it to have permanent air vents", but then goes on to say "Where the boiler is fitted in a cupboard, permanent high and low level ventilation must be provided" and it gives a table of minimum...

Yes - I think a kettle would be about the right noise. What can I do ? How do I increase flow rate ? What can happen to my boiler is there is sludge forming ? As for the implications of incorrect ventilation, what can happen ?? Questions, questions !! :lol:

Hi I have a Saunier Duval Boiler - it was fitted over a year ago in a cupboard in the kitchen. I have two concerns 1) The person who fitted it placed it up against a cupboard wall. The ventilation space is sufficient as far as the instructions go, but I am concerned thatther is no space...
