MEGAFLO LEAKING

[Nik07]

Please can someone help! My Megaflo boiler is leaking from the top seal not the pipes. Its kind of dripping out from 3 areas around the rim of the boiler everyday it seemed to be getting worse. We had a new themosate fitted last year could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks

All megaflos are warranted 25 years on the cylinder its self. Try calling Heatrea.

Heatrae Megalo HE models are the ones guaranteed for 25 years on the stainless steel shell. The parts are not included in this warranty. The Heatrae Sadia Megaflo HE has been around for the last 7 years, if it not a HE then it probally wont be covered.

Sounds like a play on words then.

Read the small print and you will find the rip-of merchants, sorry manufacturer are squirming out of the contract.

Sounds typical British

Thats being a bit hard on baxi/potterton even though its true.

Reminds me os a Pentax camera I bought, after a week it packed up, so I sent it back under warrantee.

Yep the excuss came back by return, its got sand/grit in it your not supposed to take it down the beach, what do you expect

I did loose me rag with the shop about then, its a pocket camera for putting in the pocket and taking with you wherever that may be, I also showed him the pics in the manufacturers handbook of all the seaside shots

After a few threats he got back and said that Pentax would make an exception and do the repair at no cost, Big deal !!!!! Don't do me any favours either you repair it or give me my money back now, and if it goes again you will be getting it back again under the same conditions.

They repaired it

But John, you are not meant to bury it in the sand for the kids to see if they can find it!

You dont expect to drive your 4 x 4 off the road on a mountain terrain do you? They are unreliable enough on the road!

My Chelsea tractor has never let me down yet, it even has an altimeter and attitude gauge, I have no problem taking it off road, in fact it goes off road all by itself sometimes

Had that with a salamander pump that sprung leaks everywhere, they said it was due to flux, when I pointed out that it the pipe work was flushed before attaching the pump with compression and that I would like the pump back for a second opinion I was told that I couldnt as it was their policy to bin stuff after they tested because "it would make a mess to keep it"

one call to Trading Standards later I got my money back and have never used them again for anything

Are you sure you dont mean an "altitude" ? But if so thats what an altimeter measures!

Or is it an "inclinometer" ???

Perhaps your 4 x 4 really has "attitude" !!!

Tony

 

[doitall]

No I mean Attitude gauge.

The inclination of axes of an aeroplane relative to the ground.

Or in the case of my tractor the angle of lean when climbing or banking

 

[Agile]

OK then if its an aircraft!

I thought that your 4 x 4 would have been ground based though.

Reminds me of when I lent my BBC colleagues an aircraft's artificial horizon instrument to give to the boss to put on his desk!

Tony

 

[doitall]

It works the same way.

When off roading it tell you the angle your driving at, very essential when driving along the side of a hill/bank, anything over 30deg and you could roll over

Ok so i have found out that my Megaflo boiler is manufactured by Fabdec ltd and Distributed by Hotflow Ltd. The boiler is about 11 years old. So do you guys think that its a clinder fault? Oh no that don't sound too good!
