PostPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:17 am 
Hi all,

First post so please be gentle. I have a potterton performa 24 combi boiler with an integral timer. I want to remove the integral and replace it with a digital horstman timer that I wish to put downstairs while the boiler is upstairs.

How do I go about this? Is it difficult to wire these? And do u need to remove my room stat? Hope this makes sense? Thanks in advance

 Post subject: Toilet cistern constantly filling
PostPosted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 10:29 pm 
I have a toilet that is constantly filling up. I think there are two leaks.
1:When the water supply to the cistern is cut off, water still flows into the bowl.
2: the lever at the opposite end of the float ball also has water trickling into the cistern.
Please see the photo.
I think the diaphragm at the end of the float ball may be where its leaking from.
Do I need to replace ...

 Post subject: apollo fanfare boiler programmer
PostPosted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 2:15 pm 
I have an Apollo fanfare 50/65. The boiler has a non-standard programmer that was made by a company FEF but is very similar to the thorn B4161 clock programmer. The programmer never included a hot water only option though, which confuses me. The clock is broken and i want to purchase a drayton but I am unsure as to a LP111 timeswitch or a LP112 programmer. I cannot find any info on coverting the current ...
