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...
Noticed today that the ground looked damp around the outside of our Worcester Bosch Heatslave 25/32 External Boiler. Took the cover off and warm water is pooling in the base of the unit. Can't see an obvious leak and all the components are dry. I'm guessing it's the thermal store leaking. Is...

I am told that a Toby 4cc-13cc oil control valve can be used to replace my Rayburn’s faulty obsolete BM30 4cc-13cc oil control valve.
Will the Toby fit directly in place of the BM30 on the same mounting bracket on the side of the Rayburn, and are the Toby’s inlet and outlet connections in line...
Hi, our Bunded 1000ltr plastic domestic oil tank leaking from inner to outer skin, was installed, as part of a new-build, in 2016, to supply a boiler.
When getting it refilled last week, the delivery driver pointed out that the outer skin was bowing out slightly and advised me to check it.
I...

Hy all,
Do oftec regs allow passing of the oil feed through the foundation wall under floor space if the feed pipe is installed in a fire proof steel tube? I wondered if it would help me overcome an installation problem perhaps with a fire valve at either end of the feed as it enters and exits...
Hi - Our Rayburn 400K mainly runs low as a heater as we have LPG cooker. Yesterday (Christmas Day) I turned the control up to 8. It heated until the Thermodial needle got into the Roast sector, then it cut out and did not kick in again until it had cooled off - useless for roasting tatties! I...
I have here a Trianco TRO 15/19 boiler and on inspection it has no baffle plates, just the flimsy flue baffle box. Without any plates the flue temperature is off the scale!
Did Trianco make the boiler (I think it must be a Mk.1 TRO 15/90) without baffle plates?
