    Hi Guys. I have a Baxi 105 HE. We have an issue where the boiler doesn't come on for the hot water. It does come on when you turn both the basin and bath taps on to full flow.

    Should I replace my (possibly 20 y/o) Ideal Mexico 2 boiler with a modern combi?

    The boiler is working fine but is an old conventional boiler, and what is quite annoying is that the central heating system has no 'y valve' so you can't have hot water without turning on the heating (in the summer we put the thermostat on minimum but it still comes on). I had some plumbing work...

    Megaflo D70 1 Shower

    We have a Megaflo D70. Should it be able to keep up with the use of 1 shower continuously? We seems to run out of water after a 10 minute shower at the moment. I don’t think there is another boiler in the system - should there be? ... the property has electricity only.

    Foolproof CH & HW programmer

    Can anyone recommend a really straight-forward simple programmer for my elderly parents who need a replacement. It's probably going to need to be analogue unless there is something special designed for old folks. Many thanks

    Glow Worm 38cxi ignores hot water control

    If you set the hot water temperature to zero on the front panel control the hot water system never comes on. If you turn the control to the very minimum setting that will make the hot water circuit active, the burner lights and the hot water output temperature quickly rises to 65C (maximum). It...
