The tape fell on to the surface of the water as I was trying to fix it to the metal arm. Shall I just drain/re-fill the system & add some more inhibitor?

Hi all, Just by chance I decided to have a look in the feed & expansion tank this morning & noticed the water was scaled... ...about 6 months ago I ran X400 sludge remover through the system & it currently has X200 noise reducer & about half a bottle of X100 inhibitor in. With it...

Just a quick update... I asked my Dad (an electrician) to have a look at the existing PCB & he found (like many other people have) that there were many fractured solder joints on the board. After repairing these joints around a month ago, the boiler has worked perfectly on hot water &/or...

Thanks a lot guys, you have been a great help. I appreciate your time & thoughts in trying to diagnose my problem. I will look into a new PCB & speak to Potterton as you suggest Mandate. Thanks again.

Yes, I can confirm that there is a 3-port valve fitted (I know this because I had it replaced about a year ago as it was jammed, only allowing the hot water to come on & not the central heating). I got a bit confused with all the technical stuff there, so what does the fact that I have a...

OK, thanks, I'll have a look at their website. Thanks to all of you for your advice/thoughts. :D

Thanks for your detailed reply. So, on the whole, does it sound like the pump is the cause of the problem? Out of interest, is there any reason why a problem with the pump would cause the boiler to cut out when heating the hot water but not when only the central heating is on? Or does...

Excuse my incopetence, but is this the pump (arrowed)...? I actually think that the ticking noise I thought was coming from the hot water cylinder is actually coming from this unit (pump?). Changing the speed dial a few times (from 1-3) seems to cause the noise to go away - does this...

I've had the balancing valve almost 100% open (it's certainly never been close to being shut), should it be less open than this for optimum performance? I have bled the vent & shut it tight (that's why I asked if it was the balancing valve, in case I had it too tight!). The problem with...

The balancing valve, is this it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/ph0u203d/100_4106.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/ph0u203d/100_4105.jpg ...if so, how do I know how tightly to shut them? If this isn't the valve your talking about, where will I find it? Thanks.

If anyone else has had this problem, or could offer some advice on the best way to approach resolving it, that would be great. Thanks.

Dear all, I have a Potterton Suprima 30 boiler which has started to give me some problems. I have read the many posts on this forum concerning issues with the PCB for this boiler. However, I thought I would write this post in case there is another cause of my problems. I moved into my...

Graeme, After looking through previous posts (//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=149706#149706), I noticed that you had/have a similar problem to me... ...I was wondering if you have managed to cure the dreaded creaking &, if so, how did you go about doing it? PS. I have...

Brilliant - thanks to all of you for your help.

Sorry Doitall, do you mean the flexi-hose or the bent tap connector?

Yes, but I'd only need it to be say 50 mm long - do they make them that short?

Hi, Does any one know if: a) it's possible to get 15 mm compression bent tap connectors in chrome? (I've only been able to find brass ones like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/50193/Plumbing/Compression-Fittings/Bent-Tap-Connector-627-15-x#) b) if they are available, where to get...

Hi, I'd like to re-gloss the skirting board that runs up my staircase, but I don't want to get any paint on the carpet. I don't think taking the carpet up at the edges is an option, as it would basically mean taking the whole carpet off the stairs, and I don't fancy trying to put it back...
