Thanks Raymond,
Its a Drayton Mid position actuator model MA1. Its only 3 years old.
I hear what your saying about the S-plan, several people have said that. I assumed it was all tickity-boo as corgi guy did it all 3 yrs ago bit of a shame that. I think I will look into changing it over in the summer, dont want to do any serious work on it in winter.
You know, thinking about this S-Plan a bit more, some one said it will give better flow than my existing Y-plan. Is it significant?
Because before I had all this work done 3 yrs ago, I had a beastly cast iron 48.5KW behmoth known as a Ideal Concorde. Must have been 40 years old. Plumbers came in and looked at in shock when i wanted new system quotes! Back then, I always called it 'the death trap', but since upgrading I know refer to it retrospectively as 'the good one'! I was prob to hard on the thing when we had it. My new system is OK, but its so much more unreliable even tho its a good boiler, just so much more to go wrong nowadays, some of which is very much for the better im sure.
ANyway getting to the point, the old boiler pre-historic though it was, could really heat this place up like a sauna if I wanted to. And its a big place, and an old place - not very well insulated. It was 48.5KW but 40 years old min, and poorly maintained I would guess. I never serviced it for its last 10 years anyway. So I was prob not getting nothing like 48.5KW of power out of it. The new boiler is 40.8KW, and basically it just dont get the house as hot has the old one - nowhere near, absolutely nowhere near at all. There is nothing wrong with it, it just dont have the clout of the old one.
So if I changed to an S-Plan, would I expect any better performance out of it all? I do not know what configuration the old boiler was setup in - it was all hidden behind a mnass of cast iron.
