Hot water problem..snarl

[Nico]

Hey all..

Wonder if anyone can help...

When i turn on my hot bath tap (how rude) the water comes out very slowly but hot...and if i turn on the cold water bath tap with it, it makes the hot tap practically stop.!

Then, when i switch on the basin tap or kitchen tap it stops the hot water altogether and it does the same when i turn on the kitchen tap then the bath or basin hot tap

Think its an airlock but i obviously am not getting rid of it right.

Anyone tell me the best way to do this

Thanx

Yes.. combi..Vokera Maxim.

No work been done recently....apart from a tap washer being changed.

Problem only started about a week ago but seems to be worse than yesterday..

Further to yesterdays problem...if i turn on one tap very quickly, i get normal pressure for 2 seconds ...then back to a dribble....

This is driving me mad....

possible blockage, most likely in the heat exchanger

My Advise is to call a competent person to deal with it, my opinion is that this is not a diy type job...sorry

(awaits for raden to strongly disagree)
