    Dripping Vaillant Sine 18 T3WF H

    Thats some plumbers way of saying :- "Sorry mate I don't want the job" You can also read into it one of the following 1. "I haven't got a clue but I know if I do get this job I will be stuck on it for days while I fathom it out" 2. "I see a potential domino effect here and whatever I touch...

    Plumber or builder?

    Please translate into english the word 'RONES' Worth getting a plumber round if just for an opinion, it could be an unsealed trap or something obvious like an untrapped washing machine. A good plumber would sniff it out where most builders wouldnt have a clue. Your deeds may have a plan of...

    Mum scammed by heating engineer or not?

    Is this a DIYnot virus?

    It happens as I move around the pages in this and my alter ego identity.;) If its any help I mainly use firefox and although it could happen on IE I cant say I've noticed it on the few occasions I have used it. Unfortunately I cant tell you what ads are on as I use a script blocker to stop...

    Water cool in the morning

    When the stove temp is 46ºC it will still be circulating and taking your hot water down to that temperature. Could you alter this to say 60 and see how it goes ? Highly likely. Although I suspect it is whats known as one pipe circulation basically the single highest pipe acts as a heat emitter...

    Water cool in the morning

    If there was a fault/ design error and a pump was still running for a long time after the solid fuel fire had died down then hot water could be circulated back to the stove where it could lose its heat in between. Making sure a pump doesn't run in such a way would be a good plan and...

    Thorn M44/54C boiler

    Gas is expensive these days. Use it sparingly. Keep your boiler stat as low as you can get away with. Im sure that boiler is range rated ie you can set it to different outputs as stated. A manometer and corgi guy are needed. Fit TRVs, Comtrols and insulation. Save money! Your pump needs to...

    Yet another Vaillant problem - VCW 242 and lack of hot water

    Excuse my attention span at this hour of the morning but I think you may have overlooked the possibilty of a partially blocked secondary heat exchanger. Is it the old black box or the newer sardine tin? Whatever it might just be full of crud

    Dripping Auto Air Vent Valve

    Ferroli Modena 102 - Electircal problem?

    Terminals 1 and 2 are 230V so don't forget to turn the power off. I think its 3 and 5 that the other two wires go to. Strip back about 12mm of casing from both ends of a short [say75mm] piece of wire. Remove spade 3 and 5 and push the wire through the hole in each lug and/or replace each...

    Electric instantaneous water heater and shower advice

    Just my opinion but here goes. Nat gas is best but £16k makes it not viable. Excluding the increase in the value of the property I reckon it will take 30 years to get your money back at best. Go for oil if you can afford it and may I suggest a HRM wallstar . This will be a better solution...

    multikwik connector too large for cast iron pipe

    Multikwik do them in different sizes. I have always managed to get by with them but as you say this size isn't listed so try McAlpine or Hepworth. As a worst case scenario you could always go back to the next joint in the soil pipe and fit a caulking bush

    Cold Radiator

    Have you extended a one pipe system by any chance? If so the 'ring circuit should be continued so that it runs below the new rad position. Apart from that it will likely be down to a blockage of some sort as Softus is implying
