Ariston dia 24MFFICE. We'ar is Weargas!

Where the hell's the pressure vessel filling valve. Can't find the thing. I assumed it would be opposite the connection. If it is, there's no way to reach it that I could see. If it's obvious, I'll blame limited access!

Is there a Weargas in the house?!

In your picture, it looks like its between "1" and "12" .

You're supposed to drink the booze Tony, not look at the screen through it!

In case your eyes have gone and your version of IE is so old you can't magnify the screen bottom right,
HERE YOU ARE DEAR:

Jaysus Chris!!! 1:43 AM!! Was it keeping you up??
I've never ever had to recharge a PV on a dia (or dire more appropriately). I would've gone straight for the top rather than opposite the inlet, ease of access and all that shyte.
While you were being kept awake by thoughts of boilers I was throwing shapes on the dancefloor of Blu Bambu in Sunderland pretending i wasn't getting near to 40 (years old that is not miles per hour)

That evening I was the driver for Martha and two friends, one old and usually a bit drunk and another not quite so old and never drunk but still slow and unwieldy even though he must be about 6' 3".

On arrival in the vincinity of the venue in Ealing, which was some kind of private party with food and dancing, they were both giving me conflicting and inaccurate information so I was not exactly driving in a single consistant direction but making a lot of turns only to have to turn round and go back.

When I finally parked in a very difficult location the police car came alongside and asked to speak to the driver. He asked if I had been drinking three times ( this was only 8.30 pm ) and seemed too thick to understand that we were looking for the address and then for somewhere to park nearby. He seemed to think that I was drunk and trying to avoid his police car!

Of course when we returned to the car after mightnight, the police were nowhere to be seen but as the unwieldly one was still trying to get into the car, one of a group of young black boys ran up to try to mug him. Martha saw them and shouted to him to get in quick and that seemed to frighten the mugger off.

One wonders why the police have all the time in the world to bother you when you dont want them, and when you do, they are never around!

It's in the same position as the connecting pipe Chris which is orientated where it shows on your diagram. If you look down on it from the top on the right hand quater the front half of the EV has the pipe on it the rear half against the wall has the scraeder valve.

A few years ago, say 6 or 7 years ago, I used to go to a lot of Ariston Eurocombis, many in the Midlands.

I only very rarely ever see them now. Have they mostly been scrapped or have I just been lucky?

I don't mind them, a lot better than the ones which came later. Plenty of them here, local builders merchants were knocking them out cheap in 1998 I put one in a flat all I've had to do is fit a diaphragm. nice easy job on these compared to a cdi. no real faults. Fan relay wears out on pcb but so it would on any boiler from that era. Probably much cheaper to maintain than a band A combi over the same lifetime, whose fuel saving will never be paid back considering capital cost, extra repair cost, and length of service.
