Thanks for the advice. its been helpful. The rads seem to be working now downstairs now that heating is on. Go figure???! Not sure how long that will last. Is there a need to add in a new cyclinder these days? Why not put in a combi that does not require a cylinder? If you have three...

Thanks for the advice. No they didnt look at the other pump but as you said not related to the central heating. Its been about a week now since BG came to replace the pump and I am getting hot radiators upstairs and cold radiators downstairs still. Not being an expert, I dont understand...

Thermostat on boiler at max yes. BG replaced the pump yesterday and drained the system (Did not flush though) and was fine last night but this morning was cold downstairs. I will check again tonight . They said a flush would cost £1000 which would NOT include replacing the other pump on heat...

just found out that his manager is coming along with the BG man today to look at the problem. Not sure if that means they are hoping the pump wont work so they can not carry on with the contract (His witness!!!)

Hi A long one but I though I would try and give as much info as possible for anyone who is able to provide some help if you can. I have a boilermate 3 upstairs and potterton suprima 70 boiler downstairs. The hot water is fine and I have no problems. I do have problems with the radiators...

Cripes. Yep that sounds like my system, a primatic. Just read some and sounds interesting. So if I drain it down from the tap on a radiator downstairs and then refill WITHOUT inhibitor will I have the same problems or will it settle down as many have suggested? If it settles I can live...

Another question. With my system, I was told that seeing as I have only 1 cold water tank feeding the hot water cylinder, my system operates by have an air lock of sorts in the cyclinder half of whcih feeds the radiators and the other half, I wash with. Does anyone know much about this and if...

thanks

I am not a gas fitter but a yellow flame means incomplete combustion and thats NOT good. It should be blue. Service would be sensible.

It is a marathon myson 300b or 600b I think put in around 1997 so I am lead to believe. Dont know if it is gravity. Not entirely sure what that means. I have one cold water tank in the loft feeding the hot water cyclinder and the boiler downstairs in the kitchen. I am trying to set it up so...

I was planning to put a cylinder thermostat on my hot water cylinder. Could anyone offer any advice on how to do this? I have seen some at screw fix and it looks like you just attached them to the front of the cylinder but how does this control it? Also any tips on the most economical way...

Just a bit of advise. After buying my house recently I noticed that the halogen downlights in the ceiling do not have any cover on at the back of the lights. In other words, the supply goes into the lights and are just covered so the insulation in the loft covers the lights meaning that in the...

Ok Thanks. I have 100 Main swith and 80A 30 mA RCD . As for the equipotential bonding class1 2 etc, I didnt understand a word you just said! Can i have that in laymans, just curious. Dont worry I wont be doing the work! Had a few quotes but just for CU replacement is was not cheap for any.

All fair points. Just offered some not very well thought out advice and you should really get a qualified elec in or a the least notify once you have had the work done by someone who knows what they are doing. I have been getting quotes recently for a CU and was charged 800 by one guy and 350...

What? Have I said something wrong?

I am planing to put in a shower and new consumer unit. I am getting a 9.5kW shower and have already bought the MK CU with built in RCD from screwfix (The one going for 68 quid). I have bought an extra 45 amp MCB for the shower. I will be using 10 mm twin and earth cable in grey bought from...

Fair point. i am no spark but I sometime wonder if they are taking advantage of Part P???

Just buy a plug in light it will save you losing any sleep over it.
