Hi all,
Got 2 questions for you.
Firstly - Water - My hot water seems to run nice and hot for say a minute then go cold for 10 seconds then go back to hot for a minute etc... Not ideal when taking a shower, could there be a problem with my boiler. I've recently had it repaired because the fan was sticking due to it cloging from brick dust (having major constructional work done to the house at the moment) when it first broke I smelt burning plastic which I was told was due to the plastic covering the coil melting if this info helps?
Secondly - Central Heating - My bolier is constantly on and off, Its burns for say a minute then shuts down for a minute then back on again etc. We have the heating on all day at a low temp cos its a really old house with no cavity wall insulation, Its like the radiators are not holding the heat or could it be something else faultly with the boliler perhaps. I'm pretty clued up on the ins and outs of this boiler if I'm looking for anyting in particular.
I wouldn'e have bought this boliler in the first place but it was ex display at B&Q and only cost me £100.
Really appreciated any help.
Many thanks
