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
Hi all, new owner here looking for advice ...
There is a Grant Euroflame 70/90 oil-fired boiler with two pumps but no motorised valves. I assume one pump is CH and the other for DHW, so the valves are not needed. There is a cylinder stat and a Sangamo Choice PR2 two-channel programmer wired to...
Worcester Danesmoor 20/25, about 18 years old. B11 burner.
We came home a few days ago to find our boiler in lockout, and not wanting to restart, instead simply doing a pitiful whine. We called an engineer out yesterday who, after a quick diagnosis, worked out that the capacitor had gone. We...
My firebird oil boiler hw supply is luke warm, but does heat up slightly when run if the ch is on at the same time.
Is this a faulty diverter valve?
If so could I replace this myself as I've heard they're expensive to fix.

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...
The use of inserts on 10mm rolls of plastic covered copper. Brass inserts are available for this purpose, but does anyone use them. They have an O/D of 7.7mm where as the I/D of all of the coils available to me are 8.6 min.
Hi, I have a combi boiler that fails to fire up and sustain the burn. I read a similar post on this site but it doesn't precisely match my needs hence this post.
Let me explain, and apologies for the less technical description since I use a plumber for my problems but he seems stuck on this...
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...
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.
Recently I needed to re-route very old and dodgy oil pipe from tank to boiler. I dug trench and laid a duct and the engineer used green plastic (Pipelife Qual-Oil?) oil line to do the job. Had cause to have boiler manufacturer out to look at something yesterday and he remarked that this Qual oil...
Hi chaps - just wondered if anyone has tried these KSF or KHF nozzles yet - see them advertised at a mere £3.95 plus vat
many thanks

Hi
We got a Camray 5 Oil Boiler with a timer control panel, is it possible to fit a room thermostat instead or have timer and room thermostat? How would it control both turning the boiler on and turn on the heating pump? Can you get wireless models?
Thanks
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

Hi,
I have a three-zone 2016 house with gas heating. When the downstairs heating switches off, it bangs extremely loudly. I have tried adding clips and it only helps to a point, I would have to take down plasterboard to get at the noisest part. The valve appears to be the correct direction. I...
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,
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
I have a worcester heatslave external oil boiler which makes a large bang every time we use hot water when the central heating is running. It seems that as the diverter valve moves towards the hot water position there is a single clunk which can be heard all around the house. The diverter...
