    Combi boiler temperature differential

    2 years ago I installed a Baxi 836 and every year the owners complain about the water temperature. Last year I couldn't find anything wrong but this year there's definitely a low-temperature hot water output. Although this is usually a warranty claim I'm having difficulty with this as I messed...

    URGENT Grant Combi 70 MK2 won't fire

    I've fitted a completely new burner to a Grant Combi 70 and the motor will not run (so consequently the burner won't fire) despite there being live 230v power to the control box. I have read the wiring diagrams and even spoken to Grant themselves but I cannot get to the bottom of the problem so...

    Plastic tap indices for metal taps (Ideal Standard)

    I've just been replacing the ceramic valves in our bathroom taps and the little plastic indices have broken so I'd like to know where I can get replacements that don't cost silly money, if anyone knows a place. I tried Ideal Standard and they want a stupid amount for two little plastic bungs. I...

    Heat/spillage problem

    Last year I fitted an inset gas fire and when I left it was all working fine but I had a call to go and look at it yesterday and noted that the surround was extremely hot just above the fire and, on inspection, found evidence of heat build up on the fire itself (discoloured paint above the...

    Replacement diverter valve

    I know that everyone is likely to be really busy but if anyone has a suggestion that might help my customer, I'd appreciate it. The problem is this: My customer has an old Worcester Heatslave 20/25 and the diverter valve has packed up this morning causing the bier to overheat. I have tried...

    Worcester 40CDi Hydroblock

    I've got a problem with a hydroblock on a Worcester 40CDi in that there's a very small leak causing a fine spray to emanate from it and drip onto the floor. My query is, do I have to drain the whole system to replace it or can I just release the pressure and dismantle it from the plate heatX...

    Meter test point nipple Screws

    Probably been asked before but, is there anywhere you can buy these things? I dropped one in a gravel bed today and couldn't find it at all. Luckily I had a spare one that came from an old installation so I fitted that and it tested ok but I don't want to be in a similar situation and find that...

    Cold morning start up problem

    I'm just curious on this one as I think that I have the answer already but I'd like to be certain. A customer of mine with an old Trianco Eurostar 125 (External) has had a fault develop in that the boiler won't start first thing in the morning. It always goes to lockout, but when he restarts it...

    A mate of mine has asked me to have a look at his boiler because the water flow has just about stopped and he's getting grief from his family :) I'd like to know if any of you have come across this problem, with this boiler, and have any insights, before I travel 40 miles to help him out. He...

    ok - I'm on holiday at the moment and I can't get to the boiler to try anything at the moment but this is bugging me so I'd like your opinions on probable causes/remedies.

    Pump Problem on Worcester Heatslave

    I got called to a breakdown on a Greenstar Heatslave 18/25-OSO-GB yesterday. It had been playing up, intermittently for about 2 weeks - why do people wait until these things escalate? Anyway. I got there and investigated, starting with the tank filter and working backwards (Based on the...

    Morning ladies and gentlemen, I attended a call first thing this morning to deal with a boiler that wasn't behaving correctly and after checking everything that I can think of, I thought I'd ask on here: Symptom - first thing in the morning the boiler takes around 20 minutes to kick into life...

    Multibloc leak question

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I can't find anywhere suitable really. I have just replaced a 3 bar pressure reducing cartridge on a UVDHWC multi bloc and, as I seem to be doing this regularly at the moment, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows why they might be failing? Every...

    I've just had a call from a customer of mine to say that his boiler (Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30CDi system on LPG) is not behaving as it should. He's not at home but controls the heating via Hive, and it's telling him that the boiler is running 24/7 with a temperature of 21°C, although he has...

    Worcester HE Combi fault code

    Went to this boiler today to replace the ignition transformer that mysteriously 'Popped' on Saturday. Got it all back together and it started flashing a b1 code.
