Quick! I have fifteen minutes to get this post in before it's tomorrow. But what to say?
I know. I've been responding to the IWA's request for photographs for its 2012 calendar. I spent some time looking through my recent photos, writing down numbers and "exporting" them ready to attach to an e-mail. Then I composed a short message and attached some photos, and that took quite a while, only for Hotmail to throw a wobbly. I don't think the message with the photos got through, which means either I try again, or I don't bother. I'm certainly not doing it tonight!
We have, at last, succumbed to the cold weather and put the central heating on. Only there's a slight problem. The three-port valve won't go over to the heating position. That'll be another job for me, then. Meanwhile we've had the woodburner on the go, with a fan to blow the heat out of the sitting room to keep the chill off the rest of the house. It sort of works!
Sorry, no photo - it'll take too long.

ReplyDeletecan you force the valve open with the manual lever?
They are not hard to replace but they are expensive.
Andy, yes, I've done that, but then I think it doesn't heat the water in the hot water cylinder. A few years ago I replaced the drive motor, and a couple of years later I replaced the whole unit. I wish I knew what keeps causing it to fail.
