    Servicing tool kit/bag?

    Why do they use black material? Like searching for tools in dark areas? They should use more yellow, I've ditched good tool bags because I get pished off trying to find stuff down the bottom.

    Late 1940’s/Early 1950’s New Home (Not New World) Gas cooker

    I may still have the parts microfiche for this cooker. Will have to have a rummage. I know I have a oven thermostat gasket somewhere too, it's red silicon to replace the old original!

    Very very Hight Co2 ppm old Myson velarie... Help

    Best is right, no separate diffuser. I have managed to reassemble the burner with the nozzle not in the correct central position! Ie not in the circular holder, if you see what I mean? Sounds like too much oil or not enough air though.

    Boiler flue not accessible but builder says it's all one piece

    How do you check a flue liner is all one piece?? Nice brass label if we're lucky, filled in by A.N Other.

    ...Back plate elbow ?? ...

    Looks like it would snap if you sneezed on it? Accountants designing fittings at least cost? I bet that weighs a third of a proper 'old' elbow.

    Very very Hight Co2 ppm old Myson velarie... Help

    I find the air settings on the aluminium band very sensitive to adjust. Like Best says they collect dust and fluff, make sure that's cleaned off. Could air be entering elsewhere? There should be an air diffuser around the nozzle.

    How do I know if expansion vessel faulty

    Be aware that the gauges aren't calibrated and are just a guide. If the expansion vessel isn't working the pressure can go to above 3 bar within 15 minutes.

    Customer claiming against you after 6 years!

    Definitely a case for not changing insurers year by year? If you can stay with the same company you can ask for their help, ie. " you insured me for the last ten years, it's your liability too." If you swap for cheaper insurance year on year then they can then get out of it. I still get quotes...

    Oil boiler flow switch tripping high limit stat

    If flow switch sticks on then burner will continue to heat boiler but tap will not be taking away heat. Thermostats may not cut in quick enough. Warmflow combi?
