    Bosch Classixx 1200 (WAE24364) blowing heating elements.

    Hi, I have the above machine which has just blown its second element this year. The OE part lasted 3 years, the 1st pattern replacement lasted about 5 months and the second (pattern) has failed after 3 months. Is it just a case of coughing up £50 for a genuine Bosch element or is there some...

    Triton Dew shower problem.

    Hello all, This shower has been fitted for about 3 years and until recently has been faultless. In the past few weeks it will start to run colder after a couple of minutes of operation. If you turn it off and then on again, it stays hot for another couple of minutes. The temperature control...

    Potterton Promax 24HE leaking water, LHS of burner tray.

    As per title, there's a slight drip of water from the LHS rear of the burner tray. Only spotted it after the boiler started showing symptoms of either a faulty sensing electrode or blocked condensate trap (5 ignition cycles then lockout). Unplugging the trap sensor cured it, but then I noticed...

    Banging pipes - blocked separator?

    Hello all, Our CH has recently started making quite voilent banging noises from the boiler/pump/valve pipework. It only seems to do it when the system is getting up to full temperature but there is sometimes also a single big bang as soon as the CH valve closes. It's an open S plan with std...

    Frost stat wiring question

    Please reassure me that I'm not going crackers!! I'm almost certain that the frost stat circuit on our CH system isn't wired correctly. The frost stat is a Drayton RTS3 (or British Gas FS1 if you prefer), the pipe stat is also Drayton but I can't see a part ID on it. The frost stat backplate...

    Moaning CH system

    Morning all, Our CH/HW system has recently started 'moaning'. It's quite an eerie moaning rather than a screeching or grinding noise. It seems to be worst after the system has been on for 15-20 minutes from cold. When it first started (just before Christmas) it was for 30 seconds or so and...

    Quick question Re equipotential bonding

    Hello, When we had our consumer unit replaced a couple of years ago, the electrician bonded all the pipework together in the airing cupboard. As they are bonded there, do I need additional bonding in the bathroom? (which I'm currently installing). No additional pipes have been added, just...
