Hi folks.. Any ideas?

Hi all My Ravenheat RSF82ET boiler is presently working fine - for now - both HW and CH. Upon switching the CH on, there is a continual clicking noise that comes from the pump that gradually lessens and eventually stops after about 30-60 mins of operation. After that, for as long as the...

Worked a treat G20 - many thanks!!!

G20 It is an old valve. The plastic head is a bugger to turn, so I removed the screw to inspect the leak and turned it off with pliers. I'll try turning it fully ON when I get home tonight. Fingers crossed!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Point taken :lol: Yep, this is getting beyond me now - time to get a pro in. Cheers!

I'm gonna say it with much embarrassment, but could I try a smear of Fernox LSX? The valve is never turned oridinarily - I think this is the first time I've turned it (to stop the weep) since moving in 8yrs ago!!

Ok thanks. The offending valve is the one at the top of the 'elbow' that turns to either let the water into the rad to heat it, or prevent it entering (i'm no expert on terminology, apologies). If I turn it 'off' and give it a good tighten, no weep. As I turn it on though, weeping...

And bugger me if I've not tried tightening it - scared I'm gonna snap the pipe!!! I'm at the end of my tether with it now - and seem to remember seeing a tin of something in a shop once that stops minor leaks - you can I presume spray/squirt it on offending slow weeps? Anyone used this /...

Right then - turns out the coil pack AA man fitted wasn't an official Citroen part (not that I'd expect it to be in fairness to the AA). I've had it swapped at a garage for an offical part - and engine management light sorted = gone. Happy days! And AA man picking up his part and arranging...

thanks Wotan, I'll keep you posted.

Sincere apologies to labour the point - and many thanks for your advice - but say for example that was the position - would it 'just' be a case of electronically amending the timing? Expensive task?

Thanks for the steer. I'll bell both the garage and dealer tomorrow and see what they quote. Will keep you posted, but really hoping it's just a sensor (at worst, as am already £92 down). Thing is though, if the computer said cam shaft error, and the car is driving fine (better than it has...

Hi guys Just been rescued by AA after my car started misfiring and would barely move at max revs. AA chaps computer gave 'spurious error' code apparently but he fitted a new coil pack (£92) and the misfiring has stopped and in fact the car feels more responsive that it has in ages. Only...

I appreciate that this may well be a really stupid question...but I'm going to ask anyway :D Why is the hot water likely to be cooler in the winter?

Righto, I don't want to speak too soon....but.... Changed the HW thermister yesterday morning. Did a test of turning off the heating and cranking the HW setting up to about 3/4 full setting and it was fine. Previously this would have almost certainly caused issues. Since then have just...

Good stuff thanks fellas Also tends to do it if the HW is set anything from midway between middle and high, regardless of whether heating on. Suggestive of HE being the prob? What is meant by fitting the thermister dry? Just plugging a new one onto the lead and leaving the old one insitu...

Forgot to say also, that apparently my friend checked the ch thermistor with one of those things you techy guys have that check for, well...resistance and ohms and the like. Apparently it was ok. Agile - knowing this, should I still do what you said, and can you just tell me how to do the...

Thanks Any chance of a quick recap on changing the thermisters? Presume I power off at mains, and empty the boiler via the PRV? They just unscrew off do they once I've disconnected the wires going into each one?

Indeed it is Agile, but as I say, on the few times I've tested it this way (heating is on more or less constant it being winter and all :lol: ), I get scalding hot water then the burner switches off for a short time. Right then, go on, I'm feeling brave. Can you give me a quick idea on...

To explain my limited logic, I'm thinking that for some reason the CH thermister, when the heating is off or especially low, is butting in and cutting out the burner for the HW. Then again though, why doesn't it do this when the heating is at it's normal setting, and why does it let the...
