Why has my Condensing Combi stopped producing condensate?

Bought a 1972 classic Fiat 500 a couple of years ago. Stripped it down, got the whole car media blasted, and a coat of acid etch primer on top, with the intention of putting another couple of coats of build primer on before getting it painted. Life being life, a family member got really...

Glow worm Betacom 30c 2 year old. Recently stopped producing condendate. Can see plenty of condensate in the flue, but none is draining out the condensate pipe. Do they get gunged up? Thanks.

Glow-Worm Betacom 24c. Installed 3 years ago. 10mm microbore. Regularly serviced. Work fine until recently. Now the hot water & the radiators are not getting anywhere near hot enough, despite being on constantly. The temp setting dials on the front of the boiler are set just shy of max...

Hi there, I have a Vokera 20 80 RS Flowmatic that was serviced about 6 moths ago. Sometimes the burner won't fire when I put a hot tap / shower on, but if I switch on the heating to 'constant' then switch it off immediately, the burner will fire up when I put hot tap / shower on. Any ideas...

Hi, have problem with my Hoover VHD8412. Programme selector wasn't working so found the main PCB burned out. I then traced the wire on the PCB that seemed to be causing the problem, and found that it runs down to the connector block on the motor where it is badly burned out. My question is...

Hi there, I have a Hoover 1400 AAA VHD8142 washing machine. I tried to put on a wash today, only to find that it is lightinging up like a Christmas tree whenever I turn the selector dial to any of the programs. That's EVERY light on the fascia on! I switched it off at the socket for a few mins...

Hi there, I have two rows of five pendent lights, each with a 60w bulb, which are controlled by a 2 gang dimmer switch. The other day, one side of the lights went out, so I replaced the old one with one from Scre**x it's a 2G 2W 2 x 400VA. Worked fine, but I noticed that the light furthest away...

Hi there, I have a Vokera 20 80 RS Flowmatic. I have been having some problems with getting a consistant temperature in the h/w. If you look at my recent previous post, you will see that I have already secured any leaks in the c/h system, repressurised the expansion cylinder, and bled the...

Hi there, I have a problem with my Vokera 20 - 80 RS Flowmatic. It was losing pressure over a period of time. After checking all the rads, I traced the leak to a faulty c/h flow/return valve. I replaced it, and a suspect leaky PRV. I have also repressurised the expansion vessel to 0.7bar...

Hi there, I was installing a triple pack of halogen downlighters. I drilled the holes in the ceiling, fitted the light fittings into holes and climbed into the loft to feed the wire thru the fitting to take the bulb. My problem occurs at this point. The length of wire supplied in the pack isn't...

Hi, Can you tell me if there is anything wrong with solvent bossing a 40mm abs waste into a 4" soil pipe, then covering with soil outdoors? Would building control have any issues wih it? Many thanks, Gary.
