If anyone could shed any light on this I'd be very grateful !

I've recently bought a flat with a combination boiler which is all new to me...

The Vaillant combi boiler I have is a: VCW-Shine 18 T3 W

and the flow rate of hot water from the kitchen tap is 6 litres per min...

There seems to be a couple of problems when using the shower...Firstly, when you turn the shower on it runs for about 15 secs and then slows down to a dribble, however if you then turn on the cold tap in the sink for about 10-15 secs then turn it off the shower runs normally again and is fine....Secondly, during the shower some radiators in the flat seem to be getting hot as though the heating is on, but it's not....

Would anyone have any idea why this is happening ?

Thanks

Sam
