    Vaillant Ecotec 831 Diverter valve 0020132682

    I've just had my third failure of the diverter valve, last replaced 10 months ago using the original part 178978. Having started reading up again I have the same question as the op above, is the new part 0020132682 any more reliable, and does anyone know what's been changed? Thanks

    Hotpoint Washing Machine WMD942 Ultima: pump very noisy

    Hi, resurrecting this old post in case anyone can help. I have exactly the same issue with a newly purchased hotpoint WMUD10637P "super silent with sshh technology" washing machine. I expect the same pump is used in this machine as the others - the symptoms are the same -very lound...

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    Last dose of X100 was in Dec 2009 as mentioned above. I have some other work that needs to be done (commissioning the wet underfloor heating system - mainly electrical work but also needs a motorised valve fitting). Fitting a magnetic cleaner to the return could be an option when that work is...

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    Vaillant engineer has been this morning. Replaced the diverter valve and pump. He also said that the system was pretty clean and that in his opinion fitting a Magnaclean or similar wasn't urgent but would be "belt & braces". So now I'm wondering what to do !

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    Thanks Tony. What could the sound of something loose and metallic in the rad be? (It's always the same rad). I'll post on what Vaillant do. If they won't touch it then my recourse is to go back to the original installer I suppose.

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    I like the look of both of these in preference to the Magnaclean. They look easier to operate post-install, and as if they'd take up less space. There's ample room underneath the boiler but access to it is awkward, which could make the cleaning the Magaclean a harder job to do. To fit a TF1...

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    Thanks mickyg, that's a great help. I'll look into the Magnabooster and TF1. There's plenty of access underneath the boiler where a unit like this could go, so if the system is drained it wouldn't take too long.

    Vaillant EcoTech Plus837 leaking diverter valve & noisy

    Hello I have a Vaillant EcoTech Plus 837. At 6.30 this morning I noticed that there was water slowly dripping out of the casing, which was warm. It wasn't dripping last night... The boiler was fitter by a Gas Safe and Vaillant registered installer in Oct 2009 (who, although isn't...

    SDS drill bits longer than 1m

    Thanks for the replies. I'd love to move the cable run, believe me I'm not trying to make the job harder ! I've a bay window in the way on the outside which restricts my access and gets in the way of the drill, and vaulted ceiling on the inside which prevents me from approaching from both...

    SDS drill bits longer than 1m

    Hi, I'm looking for an SDS drill bit, 10 or 12mm that's longer than 1m... I've tried the usual screwfix / toolstation / wickes and co with no joy yet. The job is just to run a feed to an outside light, but the position is awkward and needs to cut across an updwards diagonal of 1.2m approx...

    Seeking recommendations - "warm" LED strip lightin

    Thanks Ban-All-Sheds, that's exactly the look I was hoping to get - even distribution of light from behind the panel. Is that by using opaque acrylic or just standard clear acrylic to diffuse the light? And for using LEDs, do you think the LED strip light I mentioned above would suit this...

    Seeking recommendations - "warm" LED strip lightin

    Hi folks, I'm looking for a recommendation for "warm" LED strip lighting, for installation behind a frosted glass "spashback" panel in a new kitchen. I'm considering LED for long life and energy efficiency mainly. So far I have found the following...
