Hi
I have a worcester heatslave external oil boiler which makes a large bang every time we use hot water when the central heating is running. It seems that as the diverter valve moves towards the hot water position there is a single clunk which can be heard all around the house. The diverter...
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?
Hi all I have a Stanley superstar 60k oil and last year it developed an issue with the electrodes starting intermittently . One minute they would spark and be fine for few days and then no spark again. So engineer out and new control box and new electrodes and it was fine until the last few...
My grant 70 mk 2 heating pressure is constantly increasing in pressure. I have changed the heat exchanger as I believe that was the problem. Any ideas
We have a 9 yr old Heatslave 18/25 that's been regularly serviced. Heating was on in the morning but failed in the evening. My son is Gas safe engineer and suggested trying a few things before calling our usual engineer.
He disconnected the twin channel control panel and put in link's so it is...
The boiler has just been serviced and lots of new parts fitted, On firing up all works fine for approx 15 seconds then the flame cuts out but the motor keeps running, after approx 10 seconds the flame fires up again for 15 seconds and the same thing happens. If I remove the front door/cover of...
Can I get a backboiler connected to an indirect vented hot water cylinder through the existing small bore coil which was used previously for a pumped oil boiler, ie do I have to get a new tank with a wide bore gravity feed coil (and scrap the present hot tank?)
I understand the pump would have...
Hello all.
I'm looking for advice to help my heating engineer fix my problem! He actually installed the unit.
It’s a 3 year old oil boiler, a Firebird with C26 Riello burner.
It’s been running fine since installation, but went into Lockout a couple of weeks ago.
The engineer first changed the...
Hi All,
I have a Firebird Enviromax external oil boiler, it has a Riello RDB2.2 C26 burner which keeps locking out.
It has been an ongoing problem, where I've had to call my local guy several times. He gets it going, but it doesn't stay working for long. Its costing me a fortune for his time...
God how I hate this thing! So the problem with this thing aside from it being filthy and inefficient is that the boiler keeps cycling and on restarting has an explosive ignition. I've checked and rechecked the levels of the boiler burner, flushed the central heating pipes and all the rads and...
Hi, wondering if anyone can help. I have a leak coming from my oil boiler only when the boiler is fired up. It's down the bottom with beside a bolt and what looks to be a bleed nipple
My wife got oil delivered and they bled the boiler. Is there anyway a leak could happen from someone...

Hi. Asking for a relative whose neighbour seemingly DIYed an oil tank replacement. She was aware of 'oil' smells at regular times in the weeks following this, although that has since died down.
Is there a way of checking whether the installation was registered, a bit like boiler installs?
Thanks.
Hi. Having recently qualified in oil(yet to do any oil in the real world), I was wondering where the best place is I can get the manuals from for all the different oil boilers please? Also been called today about a service on a Camray 2 that hasn't been serviced for years....any advice after a...
Hi all, new owner here looking for advice ...
There is a Grant Euroflame 70/90 oil-fired boiler with two pumps but no motorised valves. I assume one pump is CH and the other for DHW, so the valves are not needed. There is a cylinder stat and a Sangamo Choice PR2 two-channel programmer wired to...
The use of inserts on 10mm rolls of plastic covered copper. Brass inserts are available for this purpose, but does anyone use them. They have an O/D of 7.7mm where as the I/D of all of the coils available to me are 8.6 min.
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of an app with the oftec certificates on so they can be done digitally?
Thanks in advance
I fitted this boiler some 18 years ago it's now time for a upgrade and the client has asked me to find a suitable replacement , I am not really doing oil installs any longer so I would appreciate some guidance on a suitable replacement please , I did think of a external boiler but this may...
My apologies as this question has probably been asked loads of times.
We moved into a new house in Jan which has an oil boiler, the room that houses the boiler is always warm, sometimes like an oven.
The radiator that's directly above where the boiler is is always on, mainly warm but sometimes...
