    I've moved into a house with very basic central heating controls (one of those timer dials from the 80s) and non traditional piping set up which is causing some complications and I want to do the minimum work at the minute to modernise it. The way they've piped up the house the boiler sits...

    Valves position

    Are the black valves both supposed to be pointing vertically or horizontally? Also are the rest of the valves in the correct position?

    Vaillant time switch... can I replace a 130 with a 150?

    Hi, the clock on my Vaillant ecotech boiler has broken. I've taken it out and can see it is a time switch 130. These seem to be discontinued. Does anyone know if a 150 will work instead? Or is there something newer I should be replacing it with? thanks very much!

    Vaillant EcoTec Pro28 Low Pressure

    My boiler in the new house is showing 0.7 bar, which seems a bit low. Although it is still working, I'd like to increase the pressure back to the normal range. How can I do this? I remember that the Worcester boiler in my old house had to be adjusted using a special key. Thanks for any advice.
