did you try and use normal dulux paint ?

well thats what i'm planning on doing, but mainly, as i live in a huge old sandstone lodge, and have no control, except for temp & clock on boiler, Plus i've had a problems with it tripping which means you wake up freeeeezing, plus it takes a good 10 secs for pilot to light. oh and i've had the...

Yes thats what I was thinking. It just worried me when I bought this house (big old sandstone lodge) In January. In 2 months it used nearly £300 in gas, also needed a fan replacing and it trips every now and then. So i thought for next winter i'll replace it. But i was a bit shocked at...

Hi, planning on replacing my WB 280rsf which is 17 years old with a Vaillant 831. But looking on sebuk charts the 280 should be about 71% eff and the 831 about 88%. My question is. Is it really worth me changing it just to save fuel costs? going on there predicted fuel savings, it would...

Well normally i'd agree with such statement. But in the case, where as the government have made b rated boiler becoming cheap, despite being considered as reliable (and only a couple of % less efficient) I don't see how that's an informative thought out comment. If it has a decent warranty...

We've gone very off topic!! So are they illegal?? Will i get a warranty if he fits it ?? Is it recommended to save say £400 ? Thanks.

are parts not hard to source? only what i've read, although i know they shouldnt need them!

I have a Worcester 280 rsf, 17 years old

Hi Yes he's independty registered, i've checked. so that's ok. The exclusive is just the one he's quoted for. I told him i didn't want the ecotec pro but would have a plus, and he came back with this. I've no idea how dirty the system is to be honest. Thanks. Kev.

Found a local firm offering Baxi combi replacement boiler for £999 fitted inc power flush. When I called them, they said it's a Baxi Main 24 or 30HE. I asked if it was a A rated, and they said no, it's B rated but still 88% efficient. i thought this was illegal to supply and fit these...

anyone ?

Yes I realise that mr rolly eyes The "!!" ment I was joking. But a power flush is better than chemicals pumped round isn't it, esp as the system is 17 years old with little/no previous maintanance?? :roll: Also most gas engineers seem to be giving a massive discount if done while fitting...

Well he did say i'd have to have the heating on for a bit each day for the 2 weeks it's in. As I did question this. Cost me a fortune in gas just to shove the chemicals around!!

Been recommended the 3 above by the gas engineer. fitted prices Vailant £1620 cash Baxi £1410 cash Worcester £1600 cash This is without a power flush as he doesnt have the equipment, and he'll be doing it at a weekend as he works for a company during the week. My question...

I'm looking at replacing my 17 year old Worcester combi, with an A rated combi. Was under the impression that not to power flush at this point would be foolish. But the engineer who's quoting me doesn't have the equipment to power flush and claimes that putting flushing fluid in for 2 weeks...

as title says, what is the difference ? And are they any good ? Thanks,

Ah ok, i'll clean the flame detector and grease the gas valve. Thanks again tony !! :lol: Thats what I do in work when the gas burner won't ignite to warm the plant to 600C

I've only been in the house 3 weeks, it was rented out before then, with information that it had a service contract, and servicing was carried out annually. I cannot confirm this though, only that it has an up to date gas safe certificate. How can you be so sure that having it serviced would...

:?:

Problem with my 1995 worcester 280 boiler. It some times won't ignite. Seems to be more when I'm running hot water tap. The fan is running as it should and the ignitor is clicking as it should, but no flame, also the gas valve solenoid is clicking so i think this is fine. It is only doing this...
