Hi Folks,
Disclaimer up front, I'd normally call in a professional for something like this but in the current climate DIY may be my only option. Our regular plumber, understandably, wont be calling to the house any time soon.
Our heating runs off of a Grant 50-70 + RDB2.2 at the back of the...
2012 build house with an external Worcester Bosch Greenstar Camray oil boiler. Two floors of Uponor wet underfloor heating, with boiler installed externally and level with the upper floor, with gravity-fed oil. Today the underfloor heating manifold pumps started to make a racket as did the...
We have a Rayburn 460k Nuway burner which is now over 20 years old which has been regularly serviced and maintained by myself and has generally been reliable. However....last week it has stopped igniting on both boiler and cooker.
Removed the burner and found the blast tube had gone on the...
Hi, our Bunded 1000ltr plastic domestic oil tank leaking from inner to outer skin, was installed, as part of a new-build, in 2016, to supply a boiler.
When getting it refilled last week, the delivery driver pointed out that the outer skin was bowing out slightly and advised me to check it.
I...
Relatively new to servicing, but have come across a Riello RDB unit that will not disengage from the unit.
I have unbolted the securing nut but the burner will not budge. the boiler is a Warmflow unit quite a few years old and from the look of it and the oil hose I have replaced, not been...
Had a leak on oil tank pipe fitting landlords plumber has said leak was due to small elevation on back of tank “brick” I know it’s bad practice not disputing that but I say olive was never fitted correctly as it’s loose on pipe please see attached vid any opinions would be appreciated
Hi Forum,
I am about to start the process of removing a wood pellet boiler and replacing it with a Grant Vortex Eco 15-21kW Utility condensing oil boiler.
Flue currently in use is Staovax XQ Stainles twin-wall system, Stovax's manual states "For use with both commercial and domestic high...
Client ran out of oil. Locked out. Has Grant eco ext. wall boiler 1.3 mtrs off ground. Tiger loop on wall same height as burner. Tank 4mtrs away on ground. 10mm copper suction line.

Hi guys, riello burner is cutting out after it’s been running for 2 hours solid. Replaced new photo cell, nozzle, capacitor, I’m trying to fit a new solenoid tomorrow. Any ideas if this fails?
Thanks
Hi there,
I'm a newbie to the Forum so very grateful for any advice received.
I need to identify a valve (make and possibly model) that's attached to my oil tank.
I attempted to change the filter in it yesterday, only to find that there wasn't one in there. It must have been removed by the...
Hello everyone,
Looking for some advice...
I have a ‘Boulter Camray 5’ boiler with a ‘Boss Therm’ programmer unit which is located in the garage.
I currently have no thermostat in the house, all rads have TRV's fitted, except one in the utility room.
I would like to fit a thermostat...
Hi Folks
Does anyone have info on the seals for the inspection hatches in this boiler. It badly needs servicing and looks to have been sealed with fire cement in the past. Are these rope seals (and what size) or bespoke seals.
Wholesaler can't source them but loathed to open it up without...
We have a Firebird oil boiler, 35kw and have recently started getting issues regarding condensate or lack of it. Long story as short as possible.
Boiler running without any issues for 2 plus years, unusual smell from it turns out to be plastic condensate trap melted. Looked into problem and it's...
Riello pressure gauge extension
Would any of you know where or if you can get spare sealing washers for the pressure screw or is it new extension?
cheers

Here is a classic example of why oil tanks should be installed correctly, with adequate spill and fire protection. This is what my sisters house mate managed to do to their shed yesterday. In the their garden is also a large double bunded plastic oil tank. Fortunately the tank was installed to...

Hi,
I have a Warmflow 70/90 deluxe oil boiler (approx. 23 years old) and the high limit thermostat has tripped (I probably had the boiler stay turned up too high). The orange light is on but I can’t seem to locate the reset button on this model anywhere.
If anyone can point me in the right...
My Worcester 20/25 is producing an intermittent surging noise, I reckon it's a similar noise to when I have had air in the fuel line after fitting new fuel hose. Could this be fuel starvation noise from clogged fuel filter. I'm told the fuel filter at the tank has not been changed since install...
Hi. I recently purchased a house with an old oil boiler (Boulter Classic) which had a timer switch to turn the pump/boiler on/off.
After a bit of research I decided to replace the timer switch with a Salus RT510TX wireless thermostat / receiver.
So on replacing the old timer with the Salus...
I started having issues with my heating and hot water, I thought I had ran out of oil, however, when I filled up with 400 litres, the guy told me that my 1000 litre tanks is completely full, so the issue was not oil tank being empty.
Now when I try to get the boiler to work, it seems oil is not...
