This scum should have never have been transferred to a minimum security prison, but obviously some do gooding sap has deemed that it was safe to do so. Perhaps the person or committee who were responsible for the decision, would like to give us their reasons despite the following two sentences...

Mates TV picture keeps going a green and mauve mosaic effect. Turns it off and on and it clears, but anyone know what might be happening?

Never had a combi, but my daughter has had two at the last places she lived. However, they appear to be working differently. At the previous address, with the heating off and water on, the boiler was silent until she turned the hot tap on, and then it fired up, and this is how I expected it to...

I took my car in to have some minor accident damage assessed and was staggered to be told I needed a new engine. Apparently there is a recall on a batch of 208s to have the lateral crankshaft play checked. The margin allowed was 0.5m and mine was 1mm, so a new engine it was. Got that sorted...

Since I had my boiler (Baxi Solo) serviced a couple of weeks ago, I have noticed that the outer case of my boiler is a fair bit hotter to the touch, and the rads seem hotter also. Boiler stat hasn't been changed (still on 3 of 5), and the rads switch off as per room stat when desired room temp...

Just had my boiler serviced, and I guess it might not be anything to do with that, but since then my hot water from the taps has been a lot hotter. If the boiler stat was faulty, would that automatically shut the boiler down? The boiler is turned up to around 2/3 capacity and I've turned it...

I'm looking for a reliable roofer in the greater Portsmouth area after being let down on three occasions, and had an attempt to rip me off for £1200 of unnecessary work by another. As far as I know, the work required is minimal, end half round coping stone needs re-fixing and I have a broken...

I have a 14 year old baxi, which has had intermittent ignition problems over the years. However between the last two services it has been working fine although there is sometimes a delay between spark, pilot and ignition. Had it serviced yesterday and the problem has returned. It sparks for...

My PC shuts down just after booting and can take 3 or 4 goes before it stays on. I took it back to the place of purchase and they said they tested it and it was OK, but the problem continues. They cleaned the fans and tested the power supply unit. Have checked all of the connections and they are...

Although my problem appears to be an electrical one, I'm posting in this section because it relates to my central heating and hot water system. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Boiler - Baxi Solo 2 50PF Pump - Grunfos Selectric Timer - Danfoss FP15 Symptoms Pump runs...

After several years of intermittent problems, and feeling like nearly every engineer in the county in which I live has had a go at sorting my boiler ignition fault out, it would appear that the fan is blowing the pilot light away from the main burner. I understand that this is a common problem...

It looks like that the fan is blowing the pilot away from the main burner. If I tap the side of the boiler the flame wafts over enough to ignite the burner, but otherwise it just continues to spark with the pilot like a candle in the wind. Can the fan be adjusted to stop this happeneing...

I bought one of these for my daughter, and it's gone off twice now, both times 30/40 minutes after the boiler had gone off. I have had the boiler checked by a gas engineer who said there was no problem with it. Sounds like a faulty alarm, but if the boiler is off there shouldn't be any escape...

Not sure how long this has been going on, because I only noticed when the pump got a bit noisy, but pump is on day and night, including when boiler is not on. I can't switch it off at the plug when I go to bed, because heating/water comes on before I get up. I assume pump should be switched...

Getting the spark but no ignition unless I partially cover the flu on the outside wall with my hand for a few seconds then it fires. It took gas fitters ages to sort this last year, and all one did was hoover the pipe. Worked fine for about 10 months, and now it looks like it needs another...

I have my pc and peripherals plugged into an anti-surge extension lead. I've recently noticed that the green protector light on the extension lead is flickering. Does anyone know if these means it's faulty, or on the way out. Cheers

Just got a Focus Zetec 1.8, but noticed that the engine revs at 70mph are higher than the last car I had which was a 1.6. Can this be right? In the 1.6 (Peugeot 307) I was on 2750, but the Focus at 70 it's pulling 3250. Seems high to me for a 1.8. Any comments would be appreciated

After over two years of intermittent problems with my boiler not igniting, the cause has been pin pointed to the pilot. I don't think it can be anything else. A few weeks ago when the boiler wasn't firing up (just a spark and a feeble pilot light), the pilot was cleaned, and it worked perfectly...

Have noticed that the water level in the lavatory pan is low. It's OK for quite a time after a flush, but first thing there is hardly any water in it. Have checked all around the base of the pan for leaks, and there aren't any. Anyone any ideas what could be causing this? Cheers

The boiler will only ignite with more flu restriction than the 50 restrictor gives. I have had at least half a dozen CORGI registered fitters, consultants and inspectors try and sort the problem out over the last two years, but it still exists. Every component with the exception of the fan...
