Closed heating system, approx 14 years old with oil fired boiler, feeding around 18 radiators over 2 floors. One small radiator nearest the boiler and downstairs repeatedly fills up with hydrogen over a period of about 4 weeks. Hydrogen is suspected as it can be ignited and there is no smell...
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 all, can anyone confirm to me what the difference is between a heatslave 15/19 and 20/25 physically? So the reason for the question is if I bought a second hand 20/25, could I strip it down and use most of the parts as spares on my 15/19. From what I can gather, heat exchanger plate, pump...

Our Grant Vortex Pro oil combi boiler seems to have developed a drip from some sort of valve where it looks like there's a limescale build up. There is no water at all from hot tap and no pressure in the boiler. The heating works fine however.

Evening All,
We've just moved into gas boilers (after years doing gas) and are currently tooling up. On our first install we had problems bending the 10mm plastic coated, white pipe. Possibly because of the sub-zero conditions the covering shattered when we bend it by hand. It measures 12mm...

Can anybody explain why I could get heating oil for 72p/l last Monday but by Friday was being asked 92p/l? The word profiteering comes to mind especially when nearly 50% of the cost is taxes in one form or another and the pump price at Asda for my diesel has been steady for a couple of weeks now.
I have just bought a Danesmoor greenstar12-18, fitted with Reillo RBD burner. Worcester notes should be used with C2 Kerosene, is it possible to run on 35 sec low sulphur diesel instead? Any advice is very much appreciated thank you.

Hi all, all new to this breakdown life, currently waiting on getting on a training course, so just been relying on technical and instructions since I passed my oftec.

Hi
Is it possible for a DIYer to replace an expansion vessel and hose? It's an external grant vortex boiler and from what I've seen online it looks simple enough
Hi,
We had our annual oil burner service carried out by a well known Norfolk firm last Thursday and all was great for a day. Came home from work on Friday evening to find our 15+ year old HRM Wallstar burner had locked out. I pressed the lockout button only to find it would lockout 1 to 2 mins...
