Am I the only one struggling to find appliances' manuals online? I know it's hard enough with cookers and old gas fires but I've just been unable to find the manual for an Ideal Exclusive. I thought I had found it but it turns out the GC number was different.
Given the law says "refer to MI"...

Hi guys.
Can this hose be removed without taking the vessel out? Is there a specific tool that makes it doable??
Cheers
Good afternoon all,
First time posting on this site.
I’m need of some opinions from Gas engineers if possible.
My house is 1930s (I think). I have some very old gas pipes sticking out of random places. Mostly nest to light pendants.
This has made me believe it’s an old gas/heat/lightning...
Full disclosure, I am an Electrician.
One of my older clients has just had her fire capped off because it doesn't comply with today's regs and was told the regs are now retrospectively applied.
This is the opposite of what I am used to. For example, if I do an electrical inspection and find a...

Just an update to anyone who was following the thread on this site: Tify to gas engineer, what will it take?
I got a DM from a user asking for an update, he like myself was gobsmaked at the level of abuse I got from asking a basic question.
Thanks Tom for the DM, I managed to pass in 2019...
We have a situation on our allotment where we have a large propane tank (free standing) inside a portacabin (not chained) connected to a plaque heater (outdated flexible hose) which is laid on its back (on the carpet) to serve as a burner to boil water for tea and to heat the portacabin. What...
I am troubleshooting a gas hob where one burner is reluctant to light. When it is lit and I blow the flame out the FSD on that burner cuts off immediately, whereas the others take 5-10 seconds as normal. I have tested the thermoucouple for continuity and also some sort of mV output (when held...
Hi
I am looking to gain practical experience with a certified gas engineer.
I was in search of an engineer to work with accompanying them to jobs. I would be happy to observe and support where possible.
I am now working towards completing and submitting my portfolio.
I understand that this...
Hey folks,
I'm in a bit of a pickle trying to set up my hot water and central heating systems. Got a gas boiler with a pressure tank and a motor circulating the hot water. There are two wall-mounted time adjustment thingies—one for hot water and heating, and the other for the motor. Oh, and...
We are considering buying a house which currently has a 20 year old Ideal Icos boiler, so we're factoring in replacing the boiler soon. Current boiler is on an external kitchen wall with the flue going straight out. However, it's positioned in between a door and the kitchen window, quite close...
I am after an advice, please.
We have a vertical radiator from Reina, Evie, that heats up only 2nd column fully, 1,3 and 4 are lukewarm. I borrowed a thermal camera and attached is the thermal image.
System is balanced, there doesn't seem to be air coming out of the bleeding valve and was...
My first thought when I heard this fault a combi boiler with hot water but no heating. Was a problem with the stat, controls not making the call for heat. If this is not the case. Can the divertor valve be the cause of the issue?
This is a flue from a boiler, just installed by Borthwick. We were worried that this was dangerous so called out BG. They say it is not dangerous but the boiler has been certified as “at risk”. We are trying to get them back, but its not easy. C**b*ys comes to mind. CO monitor nearby.
Dear all,
We were disconnected by our gas supplier. We have no managed to find the money to clear the bill. They have told us it will take 10 days to reconnect us.
There is a vulnerable old person in the house and we have no heating or hot water. Also we are worried that the pipes will freeze...
British Gas servicing the above boiler ramped up the boiler to maximum in the installer menu to do flue gas analysis.
They also measured the working gas pressure on the gas valve test nipple. This fell to 8mbar on maximum and 17mbar on high setting.
They then removed the isolation valve under...

Hi guys,
Just looking for a bit of advice really.

We have 2 alarms in the house, the other one (downstairs) gave a leak flow history of 17PPM
So I got someone in from British Gas, he did lots of combustion and air quality checks...
