rofl, his other post is equally funny!!! I take it, if this sucker is for real, his new boiler is still gurgling; he can't work out why and the installer doesn't want to know. Feel the schadenfreude.

The education system has been dumbed down so much you can probably now get a degree of some kind for good attendance.
Does anyone actually fail anything nowadays?
Instead of pyshin around making students think they are clever? it would probably do a lot of them good to be told they are fkn useless and should consider a "career" in shelf stacking.
With regards to previous questions, perhaps he should follow some engineering principles

Which a mere gas fitter/heating individual, plumber type person, who left school at 15 could solve in 5 minutes

Well it looks like I've caused a bit of a stink! lol.
I'm not surprised by the response. Swearing at me and name calling just shows how un professional the respondents are. As for getting the problem fixed I've had 4 GAS SAFE registered people come and look at it so far! all scratched their heads and other body parts and all recommended some thing different as the solution one even said I needed a new cylinder stat!!!
Another said the solution would be another power flush using a special chemical at £2000+VAT needless to say he was shown the door. So far 6 GAS SAFE registered individuals including the chap that did the original work have failed to solve the problem.
Well It's now been resolved and by a good old fashioned plumber who is not GAS SAFE registered. The problem was quite simple. The original boiler was a 40 BTU unit about 12Kw and was replaced by an 18KW unit. The flow in the pipes was simply to low for the new higher out put unit.
The hot water was simply boiling in the horizontal section of the pipe before the pump. Switching the pump to speed 2 increased the flow rate and resolved the problem. The increased noise from the pump at speed 2 was just a function of that pump! Simply replaced the pump for a better quality unit and its working fine now.
So a problem created by the GAS SAFE registered installer fitting an over sized replacement boiler and not commissioning it properly. Solved by a experienced good old fashioned plumber. Oh and he him self used the term plumber!
I see that the only suggestion given on this forum was to cut out the offending pipework!!!
As for the individual who wanted to know a bit more about me. I'm a retired Chartered Engineer and yes I have designed/ serviced and built Gas boilers,Gas furnaces and Gas turbines.
As to what I use to charge well it was about £500/hr as a consultant.

You earn £500 per hour yet begrudge us earning that in a day !!
I expect you went for the cheapest quote and got what you paid for!

Now why would you assume that! I actually used the one that was in the mid range!
All were quoting for the same boiler which eventually only cost £760.00 so how the ones asking for £3600 could justify there pricing is anyone's guess.
Even if I had paid full retail price for the boiler it would only have been £1300.00. As I said in my first post boiler is working fine all system was running nice and hot just that one issue with the noise in the pipe which has now been solved.
Oh and I did not have an issue with paying the chap who fitted the boiler! he was paid in full the amount he agreed to do the work for.

Just to set the record straight CORGI lost out not due to the public (they couldn't give a toss who fix's the boiler) but due to gas installers being ****ed off with there attitude etc. And yes your right just because someone is registered with gsr doesn't mean they are any good at solving installation problems, or that they are honest, but you could always try British Gas

So yea get £500/hr and yea designe gas boilers, and yea could not even solve yea own problem out.
And all yea had to do is turn up the pump speed, and you have had 6 gas ENGINEERS out,
im not surprised your retired.
probably from the arogant attitude you've shown so far!!
wasn't aware that anyone here suggested otherwise. must have been in your mind for you to have mentioned it!
I have a term myself I use for you and you don't even need a certficate.
