Hi, The weather's grim and I'm not looking forward to spending time under my daughter's 1999 K11 (1000) to find out what's causing the knock/rattle that comes from the rear as it goes over bumps. Any suggestions that might help locate the problem quicker what be much appreciated :) She...

Hi, I'd appreciate some advice about a strange fault that happens occasionally (yesterday), it probably occurred 4 times last year. When it occurs, I get home from work to find the house is really hot and the hot water is way too hot, dangerously so (it's funny how the ladies in the house...

My CH has always needed me to bleed one radiator regularly, I don't seem to have any leaks just air getting in when the heating is on. I don't think it happens when it is just HW on. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause it? :? Also, and I don't know if they're linked, while the...

Yesterday I drained my CH to replace a leaking drain cock beneath a radiator, all went OK until I came to get it running, Cyl stat calls for heat and boiler/pump work, but as soon as I put the room stat up to call for heat the boiler cuts out leaving pump running. Checking volts at the wiring...

I have bought a 22mm compression fitting mid position diverter valve to replace the faulty one on my system, but want to be sure about the task before I start to do the job (it is winter after all!). In the past when replacing compression fittings I have sometimes found that the olive has cut...
