Hi I have 1 radiator that really only gets warm. I have tried taking off the TRV, and manually pulling up the pin, but still only just warm. Its been bled+bled and bled. All the other radiators get hot quite quickly, exept this one. I suspect either the rad needs flushing, or is knackered...

Thanks. Only have 1 bathroom, with a Bath, Sink and Toilet. The existing Shower is a brand new electric unit, so I presume a standard Combi would be OK. Would you recommend a condensing Combi or a standard system. As an aside, how much would I be looking at off the top of your head?? Rgrds

Hi Is it possible to change from a Central Heating system with a Hot Water Cylinder, to a Combi system. The boiler needs replacing on the property I have, and I am also considering a Loft Conversion, so I want to get all the water tanks out of the loft. If it is possible is it an expensive...

Have you any reccomendations for a replacement for the heatslave 9.24 and what would be a resonable price for fitting?? I can prob source a boiler myself, but need a corgi reg to fit Chris

Thanks. It dosnt get flogged to death by me, and the previous occupants were a young couple with no Kids. How much should I be paying for a new diverter valve?? Chris

I previously posted about hot water not working on my Heatslave 9.24 combi boiler. I previously had the diverter valve cleaned out, and it worked ok till yesturday. I wanted a new diverter valve fitted, but I have been told that is a waste of money and the gas fitter I have spoke to says its...

Hi My bathroom sink, continually takes ages to drain out, more apparant when I try to fill with hot water, as I have a combi boiler, and when the water has got hot and got to the sink, the sink is almost full!! It appears that it is actually a plastic cloakroom sink, fitted before I bought...

Hi I have a heatslave 9,24 combi boiler. The hot water has stopped working, more particularly in the mornings. I hear the water running through the bioler, but it does not fire up. I suspect it is the diverter valve, but can anybody clarift this suggestion, and if it is, how much would you...

For David and Julie I am in consultation with the trading standards regarding ATS. I sent them a letter of complaint, which they told me they were following up, but heard nothing since, I sent them another letter, informing them if I heard nothing within a week, I would be contacting trading...

Thanks I will let you know how I get on. Rgrds Chris PS. I also have resigned myself to paying Nissan £40-45, but at least I know it will be done right

Thanks all for your comments I have taken it to Nissan this morning, who test drove it. They didnt say anything in particular, but look say everything. They say the tracking is still not right, as its still pulling to the left, and the wheel is nowhere near where it should be. I cant...

I have just had 2 new front tyres fitted to my car, A Nissan Almera Sport. I also had the tracking checked, and was told it was out, so I had it adjusted. Now when I am driving stright, my steering wheen is rotated to the left, and the car has a tendancy to wander a little to the left also. I...

It dosnt look like it has been flattened, and was done by a professional plumber!!!!!!!!! It did have 2 cut off valves in it, I have removed one, and replaced with a stright through compression connector, no change. Anybody have any other ideas short of replacing the whole piping, which...

I have had gainsborough out, and they say the shower is OK. The 4L/Min is the supply to the shower, but there is 17L/Min to the taps. Do you think the supply pipe is blocked, cant see why there is a prob with the shower as iots been checked. This is also the 2nd shower to do this, I replaced...

I have had gainsborough out, and they have said, although I have 2Bar pressure, I only have 4L/Min at the shower, but 17L/Min at the cold taps. Does anyone have any idea why I...

thanks It is just one click, like a microswitch? or something. It sounds a little different to the click and rapid clicking of the gas being fired up. Chris

Hi All I have a combi Boiler, and most of the time works OK. intermittantly, usually in the morning, when I switch on a hot tap, the boiler clicks, and I can hear water running through the system, but the boiler fails to light. When this happens the central heating works OK, and if I turn up...

Hi I have a Mira Mixer Shower, and when used it only ever gets luke warm no matter where the temp guage is set. However, when I turn on the cold tap on the bath a little, the flow reduces, and the shower getts hotter, the more I turn on the cold tap, the better it gets until all hot water...
