Eve, just remember " ignorantia jures neminem excusat " and you'll do ok good luck !! Cheers Ian

[quote=Marty; It is a worchester boiler mate, but the heating does actually work, the radiators get red hot, they just dont stay that way It could be cutting out the pilot on the overheat limit stat. The radiators should not really be "red hot " - combi's have safety stats built in which detect the boiler getting too hot and cut out the pilot. Turn down the central heating control on the boiler and see if the heating works ok then. Set the control to give a temperature of 50-60 degrees ( if a temperature gauge is fitted ). Might just be that you are running the c/h at maximum settings which is too hot for the boiler. cheers ian

Marty, quote make and model, and it might gives us and idea. 1) Do you have TRV's (thermostatic rad valves) on the radiators, if so what are they set at ? 2) Is the pressure OK on the pressure gauge - should be approx 1 to 1.5 bars ? 3/ Some permanent pilot boilers have an overheat limit stat fitted ( aka interupter). Could be that its getting "weak". Come back with some answers and we'll see what we can suggest cheers Ian

Keith, how's the car running now?. Hope you'll have time to enjoy after all the time and expense. cheers Ian

could possibly be that the pump is stuck - firing up, but because the pump is not circulating , it then goes into an overheat situation, and the pilot cuts out as a safety precaution. Although i'm a boiler engineer, i am not familiar with the glow worm range. You could always check to see if the pump is circulating. Normally if the fan is not turning the boiler should not fireup. cheers Ian

Got to agree with previous posts. Mauritius - the hotels and beaches are lovely, but the island itself is not very interesting,mostly sugar cane. Seychelles - more scenic than Mauritius,you can visit some of the surrounding smaller islands that have tremendous beaches. Thailand - Bangkock is OK for a few days sightseeing, Phucket is scenic and plenty to do, the island of Kho Samui was brilliant ten years ago,but very commercialised nowadays. Bali - havent been there yet -maybe next year. If its sunshine and sand you want then probably in December - its difficult to be Dubai Cheers Ian

Whats the best battery to get for my n/a ? And wheres the best / cheapest place to get one ? Thanks Ian

Some nice pics there, Stevie. A good day on Saturday and hope tp see you at the next meet. cheers Ian

Spotted, Today @ 1pm on A71 heading towards Irvine. Are you a member on here ? Cheers Ian

Had a great holiday at The Old Ship Inn ( a great Cypriot name) in Kyrenia a few years back. A great wee complex -food was brilliant and it was fantastic value too Welcome to the net, Jap10 Cheers Ian

welcome to the net, where abouts in Canada do you hail from ? cheers Ian

possibly supraman's - im quite sure that is Neils reg# cheers Ian

Should make it too, but I may be a wee bit late, as I may have to work in the a.m I have Franko's tel# so I'll catch up in Ayr Cheers Ian

Sandy, the best thing to do in Wishaw is "run for your life" Not quite that bad but just about Cheers Ian

On the boiler there should be a hot water thermostat - but quite often turning down the temp control doesnt actually adjust the temperature of the hot water. The hot water flow rates should be set to the manufactuers recommendations - this means that with the hot water tap fully open, the flow rate should be 9-13 lts/min depending on capability of boiler. Quite often these are not set, so it means the user has to partially open the taps to get the water warmer, but it means you lose control of the temp and it gets hotter and hotter. The slower the water runs the hotter it gets. I doubt if B.G actually "serviced" the boiler "as per manufacturers instructions" - they tend only to do a "safety check" ie gas flue analysis and dont actually service the boiler nowadays. Get them to do a proper service and commission of the boiler or better still get the manufactuers own engineers to set the boiler up properly- it could be money better spent. Cheers Ia

Baz, I got these from yourself a year or two ago - still looking great. Would advise the "blingboys" to get them Cheers Ian

Franco, I dont think I have it on my phonebook - that was about 3 weeks ago. If you dont mind pm me and I'll catch you all up tomorrow. Cheers Ian

If someone can pm me a mobile# as will meet up in Ayr, as I might not make a 12 noon kickoff. Cheers Ian

With all those cumming and goings, frontwards and backwards - no wonder it excited her so much cheers Ian

What are the arrangements for Saturday at Ayr ?? please post times and rendezous !! cheers Ian

Get well soon Keith - is that car of yours not ready yet. Mr T had designed and built the mkiv in the time its taken you to get a single fitted. (lol) If you and Eve are "an item" then I guess that technically you are no longer "single" Cheers Ian

A red soop in Stonehouse (Scotland) at 8am on the last 2 mornings. Anyone from this club ? Cheers Ian

Thanks SupraChick I think that most people could probably capable of managing it - but it does test your determination and willpower to the limit. I do not doubt that if you are reasonably fit ( which I am not nowadays ) most people could do it. You should try it - cause today I feel fantastic Cheers Ian

that would be a pleasure - not a great hardship
