Thanks for your replies. First of all I would never attempt to try to fix it myself but I like to know what is wrong with the appliance before I get the professional out (be it boiler, washing machine, etc.) I've had bad experiences with "professionals" who replace working parts and waste my...

Hi All, Woke up to a cold house this morning :( Red light flashing so I've tried to reset the boiler number of times but no luck. Fan is working, pump is working and there is spark but it doesn't fire up. Got my multimeter and boiler manual out and started going through fault finding. Turns...

I've searched for long time but can't find what I'm looking for, maybe my description was wrong. the thing I'm talking about is a piece of plastic you put inside radiator to prevent water from taking easy route and forces it to go up and heat the radiator. at the moment flow and return are...

Hi, Last summer I've installed vertical radiator (Hudson Reed Revive Vertical) but its not performing very well. After reading many topics and googling a lot I've found out that I need "flow diverter" which wasn't supplied with the radiator but I can't find place to buy one. Can someone...

Hi, system: standard open vented, 2 zone valves About a week ago we had gas valve replaced as it broke down, plumber had set gas pressure to 12.5 and said this should be fine. He had to guess it as we don't have boiler manual and it's impossible to get one. Unfortunately I have noticed...

thanks for rapid answer :) I assume any 240V/24V will do...

Hi, system: standard open vented boiler Glow Worm Fuel Saver MKII BF30 some time ago boiler didn't fire up, after playing with thermostat it did and worked fine for couple of weeks and then stopped :( I rang plumber and when he started his checks boiler fired up, he said that gas valve...

I won't be taking chances. any idea how much should it cost? boiler seems to be working fine now but I don't want to be left without heat on Christmas Eve so it's probably to replace it now.

Hi, standard open vented system with 2 zone valves boiler: Glow-worm Fuelsaver MKII About 2hrs ago boiler tried to fire up but instead of one click there was a few short ones and it didn't fire up :( Since then I've spent time trying to work out what's wrong and I'm 90% sure its the...

you're right, sorry ChrisR thank you all again...

I've tried what buck51 suggested and it turned that valve on return pipe (just above "HW loop out" on the image) was stuck at 1/4 turn open with about 3.5 left to be fully open so water was just dripping, I had to use wrench and some force to open it, funny enough I don't remember touching this...

yes I'm sure it works, at first i suspected faulty actuator so I've swapped them in CH/HW mode and CH was working fine but no heat on HW loop, I've also tried to open it manually with actuator removed but still no luck. water goes through new valve when CH and AutoBypassValve are shut but its...

we bought this house last year and I know this installation is a mess, last winter HW was overheating because there was no valve to cut it of when it reached desired temperature. we are planning on putting new combi probably next year but for now we have to use what we've got. it doesn't...

Hi, System: standard open vented "S" plan ("C" plan till this afternoon), boiler and HW tank on the ground floor. I have installed second zone valve which controls water flow from boiler to HW tank. To do it I had to drain CH and HW loop, now after refiling it looks like there is air...

Hi, I'm planning to replace my old radiator which produces about 6000BTU with new vertical one. I've used online calculators and I need about 5500BTU but the problem is that vertical radiators are not as efficient as the standard ones. I was looking for some time for high BTU rated vertical...

what do you think about this... http://www.porc-a-fix.net/store/product_info.php?products_id=30

are you saying that it will grow over time? if so any ways to prevent it?

Hi, Instead of using brain I've used force and created small crack (20mm) on the basin outlet, any ideas how to fix it? It doesn't leak but you can see dark line and it annoys me a lot... Is there any paint/filler/sealer that I could use to get rid of it? Thanks for any advice...

Thanks for all your replies. What about this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/33590/Plumbing/Central-Heating-Pumps/Wilo-Smart-Pump;jsessionid=IZXAQWOGOPHUSCSTHZOSFFY?ts=61183# i think it might be good solution for my problem. Unfortunately there is no installation diagram but I assume that...

Hi, I was planning to install thermostatic shower/bath mixer tap but it needs min. 1bar water pressure to work properly. I bought water pressure gauge to check pressure and cold is 2bar but hot is 0 :( Question: Is it possible to feed HW cylinder from mains without F&E tank so i can get...
