New boiler, not long back.

I didn't think it was doing too well so bled the radiators. #Then no heating whatsoever!

"Low pressure" it said.
"Call installation engineer".

Yeah, right, I love paying for call-outs.

Then I found the handbook and pictures of the digital panel!

Troubleshoot: Press A and B for three seconds.
Low pressure: Open valve A then valve B, when pressure is 1.2 bar close B then close A. Bleed radiator 1....2....3.
Every time the pressure went below 0.9 bar there was a beep, beep. beep. Open valve A then B.......
This went on till all eight radiators were done.

I am warm and cosy now, but the old boiler was so much simpler.

All I had to do was tell her to light a taper...

OK, I'm off to the step...

A combi, is it?
Easy once you're used to it, but why on earth are companies putting them in lofts, even with elderly householders?

[Workingman]

A condensing combi, no less, Di, and it is in the bathroom.

And pack it in with the 'elderly householder' stuff. I ain't there just yet.

[Diflower]

I didn't mean you, I meant what I said, elderly householders

A condensing combi, no less,

what's the difference between a condensing combi vs a normal combi?

So....we had flights booked with Ryanair for the morning of Thursday 8th December.

Would it be ok for the flight to be put back to 5pm the same day?

No it would not!

Refund given and luckily Monarch have an available morning flight for the same day.

Given as we're flying back on the Monday morning we need all the hours in the UK we can get!

That's not on Ally! I've had them move a flight forward by an hour and yesterday's had been put back by 20 minutes (when I booked it was 5.45pm but when I checked in online last week it was scheduled for 6.05pm) but from morning to evening??

Glad you were able to get a refund and find a better flight time elsewhere xx

[meriad]

Wow Ally - that is a bit of a major shift of time..... how can they even think that people would be happy with that?
