possible cause it says check thermistors are connected to pipes correctly air in the system or system is too restrictive
I have just had one fitted. Didn't work at first but after an electrician come and rewired it with three power supplies it was better but in the end a new pump got it going without any F numbers. [22, 25,11,]
The 20 year old basic Ideal standard was working perfectly before I decided to change it!
I am not a plumber just a old DIYer.
Total cost £1050.

Thanks Dave
I am ignorant of the boiler you mention. Just a handy customer who thought his 20 YO basic boiler was likely to fail at the wrong time because 50% of the other same boilers on the estate had been replaced.
Plus a little tinge of green and the thought of pay back in about a decade.
'Chose' the recommended plumber's recommended boiler. He'd fitted a dozen without a problem before mine.
I have set the pump on the lowest setting thinking this would have all sorts of benefits =noise, wear and power. The 9 YO pump could be turned but with a lot of resistance. Is it worth taking it apart and fettling it? About £60 worth for reuse in 9 years time maybe?
If it is Valiant whatsit re - badged, is that good?

Thats an old word we dont hear any more since allthe foundries have moved abroad!!
Used to be a well known word in the Midlands!
Experts on this Forum dont recommend the Flexicom boiler as they have quickly developed a reputation for unreliability. Possibly not based on much data though.
