    Thermocouples ??

    CLARIFICATION. Sorry that this post is going on so long.. The problem. When we try to light the pilot by holding in the knob and clicking the igniter, the pilot light WILL light AND the flame appears to be of a reasonable size, and also appears to be directed correctly over the...

    Thermocouples ??

    Sorry misread your reply. Almost certain to be open flue. the flue goes straight into the chimney, (which I can only assume to be lined correctly). How can the type of flue affect the pilot light operation. As far as we can ascertain the stove has been installed approx 7 years, and...

    Thermocouples ??

    Yes. Does that have any effect on why the pilot light won't light.

    Thermocouples ??

    Baxmax, I am a little puzzled with your reply, perhaps I am missing something. I would call it a flued sealed unit (has glass door on front) From cold, the pilot light won't light.!!! Unfortunately I cannot refer you to a picture or description of this stove as it is no longer in...

    Thermocouples ??

    To clarify!!! This is in fact a gas fire/room heater, as opposed to a cooker.

    Thermocouples ??

    As a generalisation, can you please help? Wherever I look, everyone ( well almost everyone) seems to say that if a pilot light won't stay light, the most probably cause is the thermocouple.... My daughter has an over expensive Gas "stove" with that problem... Are thermocouples designed...

    condensing combi boiler drainage.

    Firstly, I am being lazy in asking this question, as I am sure that the manufacturers literature will tell me the answer (somewhere!!!!!) After quite a few questions in here, and lots of prodding and poking, I am now of the opinion that my daughters house would benefit from a new combi...

    Is this correct OR just totally bad practice.??

    bengasman you may recall my earlier postings regarding this "installation" was two houses converted into one, by previous owners. Everything on the surface looks great.. best of everything, bisque radiators costing £750 + each (undersized though), but once you start to look under the facade...

    Is this correct OR just totally bad practice.??

    I have already made several postings on this forum regarding my daughters heating system running off 2 Combi boilers in parallel. Unfortunately the more that I see of this system, the more I am convinced that the experts who "adapted/converted" the 2 systems into 1, were related to wyatt earp...

    additional seat toledo keys/remote

    Dave, yes it is, however I have managed to get it open , by being very careful. The bottom(with the foldout key) slides away from the top(with ALL the buttons) then the top splits into two to reveal the battery and circuit board. Haven't yet found any indication of frequency code.

    additional seat toledo keys/remote

    I have just bought an 07 Toledo Sport. Great machine, great price. However it appears that the VAG group think that we only need one combined key/remote control. They will however sell us another one for approx £120. I see on ebay that it is possible to buy this item for around £20 to £30...

    Boiler/Heating setup.. Total rethink.

    reply to "one tap". Absolutely certain beyond any shadow of doubt that they are combi's. Yes I know about the "instant" hot water aspect, which both of these have, I also know that the flow/return from the heating side also feeds circulation into the Megaflos. reply to Balenza. I am...

    Boiler/Heating setup.. Total rethink.

    Thanks Tony. Yes I did, and actually got some more air out of the Megaflo flow/return loop. Megaflo's are heating better now. I do appreciate your "warning" (meant in the nicest possible way), but honestly, if you could see the pipework layout, and the absolute CRAP standard of...

    Boiler/Heating setup.. Total rethink.

    Oh and just as a footnote. Perhaps you wonder why I am doing this work myself, when either my daughter or myself could easily afford to pay for it to be done. Mainly because I have plenty of time on my hands, to both research a problem, and coupled with past experience, the ability to do...
