Hello.
I'm hoping to get some advice.
I moved into a new build house a few years ago. A Firebird Silverpac external oil boiler (kabin pak type) was installed which is situated on top of the detached garage base - I've now decided to build the garage meaning the boiler will be now be located...
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

problemsolving a electro sterling burner and have narrowed thing down to the stem in the pump that the solenoid should activate- it appears to be seized solid - a magnet can't move it - the solenoid can't- and neither can I physically move the plunger with a lot of force. Time to replace it - or...
Anyone got any suggestion on how, if possible you could clear soot from the condensing heat exchanger of a Grant Vortex. Have many of you encountered blockages like this? Have any of you been able to avoid condemnation of the boiler the due to the stainless heat exchanger being blocked? What can...
We have a 9 yr old Heatslave 18/25 that's been regularly serviced. Heating was on in the morning but failed in the evening. My son is Gas safe engineer and suggested trying a few things before calling our usual engineer.
He disconnected the twin channel control panel and put in link's so it is...

Hi, wondering if anyone can help. I have a leak coming from my oil boiler only when the boiler is fired up. It's down the bottom with beside a bolt and what looks to be a bleed nipple
My wife got oil delivered and they bled the boiler. Is there anyway a leak could happen from someone...
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...
Been in property about 10 years and the valve on the (round/bunded) Balmoral tank has always been in pretty rusty state. Tank is 5,000 litres but only got about 300L left at the moment. Please see picture.
Looking for opinions on whether to get valve/filter assembly replaced due to rust or if I...
Hi there
First post so hope I’m on the right forum!
Anyhow I have an oil fired Worcester boiler approx 13 years old . Heating system open vented is original about 30 years old micro bore pipes.
Feed from boiler 28mm has manual bleed valve then splits into two 22mm pipe ...lower into Grundfos...
My daughter bought her first home and was hoping to convert to gas but its not available in the area, so thinking a boiler upgrade is the better way to go.
Just after some advice and rough costs involved, is it worth getting a pressurised system installed and a new boiler and oil pump? Heating...
Good morning, My old RHINO boiler has developed a small pin ***** leak at this plastic joint, its a threaded cap with some wire coming out top, any one know best cure ? Thanks
Thank you for any advise, I was called to attend for a tank inspection following a request to the customer from the environment agency who have found traces of heating oil in a local drain off ditch. (The customer is elderly and has recently lost her husband. ) I found it was single skin...
I have a new Grant Vortex 15/26 oil boiler installed.
It has a boiler thermostat with no numerical information, just a wedge graphic and covers about 1/3 of a turn.
I wondered if anyone could give an indication of what the range of temperatures is likely to be (I don't want to set the boiler...
Hi,
My regular plumber is a good guy but getting reponse from my regular plumber (and the previous one) where I live is rubbish at the best of times. And in the current climate, getting anyone else is proving (understandably) impossible
The valve, circled in white in the attached pic is...
Hi. Asking for a relative whose neighbour seemingly DIYed an oil tank replacement. She was aware of 'oil' smells at regular times in the weeks following this, although that has since died down.
Is there a way of checking whether the installation was registered, a bit like boiler installs?
Thanks.
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...

I have here a Trianco TRO 15/19 boiler and on inspection it has no baffle plates, just the flimsy flue baffle box. Without any plates the flue temperature is off the scale!
Did Trianco make the boiler (I think it must be a Mk.1 TRO 15/90) without baffle plates?
Hi,
I'm still getting used to oil after converting from wood pellets.
I'm fairly happy with it's operation, but slightly adjusting temperatures to get as low return temp, while keeping house & DHW hot enough.
Anyway, I've always believed that when the flue had a white plume exiting, it was a...
