If you have a Combination boiler checking your water pressure is easy and vital part of your boiler maintenance. If you do not keep your boiler pressure at a good safe level you will risk damaging major components inside your boiler.


Checking the pressure is simple if you look on the front of your boiler you will find either a numbered gauge or a coloured gauge, if you have the first option you will need to make sure the pressure is kept at around 1.5bar.


If it's the second option simply ensure your boiler is kept in the green zone. If you find that your boiler is under pressure you will need to fill the system up to the required level. To do this simply look for a filling loop, about 65% of boilers have an external filing loop. Simply open the valve until you are in the green zone or at 1.5 bar.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By malumbu · Posted

      If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.

      Car crashed into lamp post opposite coop , I hope no one was hurt ?

      I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
