About 5 years ago I had my PCB replaced on my Potterton Suprima 50 boiler because it kept on cutting out & eventually got the red flashing light. The PCB model was 5102160 & I sourced it myself (saved lots £) & got my fully qualified friend to fit it. However, I'm now getting another...

My Suprima 50 has started playing up this week. When the boiler comes on, the fan spins up but no ignition is attempted. Its not that its sparking (clicking) & cant light the gas; there's no click/spark. It just does nothing with the fan spinning & the green light flashing. After a while it...

My ensuite radiator has a jammed TRV and is stone cold (all other rads are ok and hot) I've removed the top of the TRV & the pin hardly moves & tapping it with a hammer doesnt shift it. So, next week, I'm going to drain the rads (have an open header tank system) & fit a new valve. But, it...

Dont know if this is the right forum as there wasnt one for gas appliances. Been recently working in the garage that joins on to the kitchen so doors have been left open & it’s been quite cold in the house. So, to keep the kitchen warm, I've been having the main centre gas ring on the cooker...

I want to fit a new light in the ceiling in my garage. I'm going to move the existing one from the middle of the ceiling across so its about 1/3 way in & the new one I'm going to just come off the current light cable & fit the new light over at the other 1/3 of my garage. So, can I do this...

I'm going to be putting up some plasterboard on to a partition wall. I was just wondering, what's the 'prefered' method of fixing plasterboard on to a wooden frame. Screw or nail? The issue I have is that I'm only putting up no more than 4 sheets of board & the screw packs come in packs of...

Right, I'm going to be building a stud wall in my garage. Its going to have a door in the middle & its going to be the sizes shown below in the drawing I mocked up below. Dimensions of drawing is CM Timber is going to be 3" x 2" (unless told otherwise!) Firstly, what’s the best...

I have a vented CH system in a small 3 bedroom house with 9 radiators. When I bled my radiators over the winter the water that came out was VERY black. So during the nice weather, I decided to drain the system down & add some Sentinel X400 to get rid of any gunge that might have accumulated...

Got a three year old Pumped Aqualisa Quartz Digital. Was working fine yesterday, went to take a shower this morning & is completely dead. The plumber who fitted in the loft installed a fused switch next to it so I've checked the fuse & its ok. The main fuse box hasnt tripped & when i do a...

Hi Guys, Right, just before Christmas, i bled some of my radiators & discovered that the water was very black (i have a conventional (Traditional) Boiler System). The last time the system was drained was in 2007 & this was done by a plumber who was taking out a radiator. So, I just...

Just bled all my radiators in my house & all of them are chucking out very blackened/dark water. Most of them had little to no air them apart from the bathroom one which seemed to have enough air in it to fill a bouncy castle!!!! Anyway, is this normal? Or should I drain the system out...

Just fitted my new dishwasher - A Bosch SGV46M13GB fully intergrated unit. Everything seems to be working, but when it fills up with water the Aquastop is VERY loud. It sounds like a mobile phone with a very loud & fast vibrate function. I can hear it quite clearly in my front living room even...

OK, i'm having no luck with the problem found here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=246820 So i might need to buy another one. However, i'm unsure on what to buy. Its a bit of a mine field. I dont think i'll buy Baumatic again but does anyone have any recommendations of a...

I've got a built in full size Baumatic dishwasher (cant remember the model but can find out if needed) & I've noticed that the last few uses the bottom dishes arent getting clean - even on a full heavy duty clean. I then noticed that it appeared that the bottom blade that jets the water up...

I think my pump on my Aqualisa Quartz Digital Shower has gone kaput! I was having a shower & all of a sudden it started spluttering, so I turned it off & it didn’t want to come back on. After resetting it (turning it on & off again at the mains!) the pump unit is making a very high pitch...

I hope someone here can help... I've got the boiler as mentioned in the title & it has seemed to have locked it self in the on position. I've turned the thermostat down to zero & turned off the control unit yet the boiler keeps going. I've even tried another spare PCB that I had to see...

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knows what’s wrong with my Potteron Suprime 50 central heating boiler. Everything’s been working fine with it for several years, but I recently bled the radiators (there was a lot of air in the rads upstairs) & the boiler started acting up. My problem is...
