Thank you all - I have serviced the boiler tonight - I done it 18 months ago. The nozzle must have been blocked as it now works fine. Thank you to all for your input. Regards.

Worcester Heatslave 12/14. It is due for a service.

yes

My oil boiler locked out two days ago but was reset and continued to work. Today it is locked out and will not reset. Three weeks ago it had a new solenoid valve in the pump. The motor runs and the burner fires. It then runs for 6 seconds only and locks out again. Can someone tell me what is...

I'm sure this has been asked before but what happens if I put red diesel in my oil boiler-will it soot up? will it work? What would be a red diesel/kerosene ratio which would be ok without problems?

Hi all - need to replace fan pull switch in bathroom. It does not operate any lights, just the fan but is on the lighting circuit. Out of the ceiling come three grey wires each containing a red, a black, and an earth. On the old switch there was two red that went into one terminal. Two black...

Just been to the above, the burner will not fire, the fan just keeps running, there are no igniion clicks. Any thoughts? Photocell?

Hi there, when the heating is recharged it looses pressure as you watch the guage. There is no water from the pressure release pipe outside. Any ideas?

I am going to put in a radiator in a conservatory and connect it in 8mm pipe to the manifold and use the two manifold points that used to be on a radiator that I have removed to allow for the conservatory door to be knocked through. The pipes connect to the manifold with nuts onto male threads...

Are all microbore the same with the flows and returns all leaving and coming back into the same pipe? Do I need special radiator valves for this type of system? Thanks for previous replies.

Hi everyone, I have to add a radiator to a system. It is 8mm pipework. The manifold is 28mm with the 12 pipes (6 rads) coming off it. There are no blanks to use. The flows and returns for all the radiators go into the manifold together all next to each other. Manifold is about 150mm in...

Where does anyone get their flue gas analyser (Kane 250) calibrated. Kings Lynn Norfolk area. The analyser has stopped reading CO2, will being calibrated sort this problem?

I have just changed the baffles in an oil boiler as the old ones were at the least mis-shaped and the worst very mis-shaped and split. What does anyone think has caused this and how can I make sure it doesn't happen again. It is a small Grant about 2 yrs old situated in a small cupboard in a...

Hi all, I have been asked to replace an electric shower (Redring Actice 300 7.2KW) with something more powerful. I have no knowledge of electrics and would like to know what higher KW ratings do for a shower and would the wiring on the current unit be safe if a 8.5KW shower was fitted? Thank...

I agree with doitall - try a replacement solenoid valve - would be interesting to know fault when sorted.

Do you have a copy of the installation/commissioning/servicing instructions? In here you would find the air settings required depending on the output of your boiler. It sounds as if the oil pressure, air setting and CO2 levels need to be checked with an analyser (commissioning). I would have...

Has the boiler been commissioned correctly? This would ensure that the burner is running at the correct settings as per the manufacturer. It sounds like the air setting could be too low and therefore is running to rich and creating the soot.

Thanks for quick reply-will try this tonight.

Hi there - I have a small portable TV which I have moved from one bedroom to another. I have wall mounted aerial points in all rooms. It worked well in its previous room. I have a digital aerial on the roof and an amplifier in the loft serving all the wall mounted points. I cannot tune the TV...

Needs to go all the way in (oh er) with a straight cut on the pipe - not with a hacksaw.
