    Ideal HE12 Boiler Thumping

    I moved into a 14 year old house a few months back and have a problem with the boiler (Ideal HE12). It was always a bit noisy (fan) but it 'thumps' when lighting.. I was convinced it was 'explosive ignition' as it sounded like it was lighting with a thump, blowing out and then repeating but it...

    How to remove actuator from Drayton Mid Position Valve

    My Mid Position Valve has been playing up for years.. But a little tap, jet of air, or some lube seems to sort it. This year its failing more often than working, so its time to change it.. I have sourced a new value and was surprised to see that it had a black button on the side of the...

    Drayton LP241 timers in a strange state

    Exactly what I am in the process of doing.. But just wanted to be 100% sure mine was actually faulty first..

    Drayton LP241 timers in a strange state

    I have made an observation regarding the jumper.. If I move it to "G" the behavior changes and both HW and CH come on together, so I know moving the jumper does something But if I take the jumper off, it behaves in the same way as it does in 'P' mode.. So i am starting to think that there is a...

    Drayton LP241 timers in a strange state

    I have created a video to show the issue... Basically, when the CH is on, the HW relay does not click

    Drayton LP241 timers in a strange state

    Done exactly that.. But used a multi-meter to verify the voltages rather than bulbs.. And the behavior is as described above. I can't see how its a stuck relay as the behavior is the same every time.. Its following a new logic pattern which is constant..

    Drayton LP241 timers in a strange state

    My CH/HW is controlled with a Drayton LP241 (Which is rebranded as Iflo as I replaced it a few years back due to a fault). Its been fine for years but last weekend I 'boosted' the water and the boiler didn't fire.. I then looked (listened actually) to the programmer and it was acting strange...

    Baxi Instant 80HE not detecting water flow

    Ah well, I am guilty as charged.. They had better lock me up, for my "crimes".. Message received loud and clear... I will just have to continue on my own and hope that the boys in blue don't come along any time soon (that was an attempt at humor by the way). For the record, I wouldn't be doing...

    Baxi Instant 80HE not detecting water flow

    :) Over the odds.. So far its cost me 30 mins in time and a new Venturi is £12 (although I treated myself to a new cartridge for £15).. And I would be willing to bet thats cheaper than any plumber (or plumber supplies) would sell it for. Even if its the wrong part MY VENTRI IS MISSING, so its...

    Baxi Instant 80HE not detecting water flow

    Ahhhh.. I am struggling to understand the law here... I get it if I was talking about the gas side. I would NEVER touch anything gas.. But this is pure plumbing.. If I am allow to install my own tap, or make changes to the plumbing, I don't understand why the discussions on the water side of the...

    Baxi Instant 80HE not detecting water flow

    Thats exactly what I am doing and have done (expecting the part in a few days).. But considering Baxi told me that "the boiler would not work at all without the venturi" and refuse to go into further detail, I just want to be sure I am on the right lines for such an issue as I MUST fix this in a...

    Baxi Instant 80HE not detecting water flow

    ** First of all, I am not Gas Safe approved, so I understand that there might be a limit to the help people offer ** Have have just renovated a house for my In-Laws and the last job (why did I put this off??) is the boiler. I am coming here as Baxi give me snippits of help, but keep refusing...
