Combi boilers with intermittent ignition problems... What a complete pita

[maviczap]

Been there, new ignitor board was the cure for ours.

Ours has flucuating water temp, which isn't nice, goes from warm to cold & I suspect its the heat exchanger plate, which needs descaling. But I'm not going to get it fixed until we don't need the central heating, which is working fine

Our NHS medical people are great, but they are Lions led by Donkeys, unfortunately its services are abused scandalously because it is free at point of use.

NHS is a victim of its own success - was originally designed to get people back to work quickly and keep them in good health so that they could work, and help the economy, now everyone wants a piece of it for everything under the sun.

Combi systems have a pressure switch on the water system to turn on boiler when it senses a tap has been turned on and pressure drop is seen, sometimes the p/switch plays up, jumps in and out and turns boiler demand on and off.

Ta, I'll get the man in, he'll find out what's wrong.

The temp only fluctuates in our en suite shower, bath tap & the kitchen tap.

The bathroom shower isn't affected, its temp stays constant

Bloke over the road started his noisy diesel car up at 5.10am then left the engine running while he went back inside for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile the noise kept me awake and the street stank of diesel fumes. If he does it again I'm going to go out there, remove the keys, put them in my dressing gown pocket and bu99er off back to bed!

Speedo has died again! Top gear 7000 rpm. Speedo flickers between 12 and 13 miles per hour.
Not loving my bike at the moment, I think the feelings mutual though.....

Change it to a Hall effect sensor like those of us who have GSXR front ends.

Use an old speedo for the wiring, and the old wheel rotor thingy, as you'll need to keep it as the wheel spacer.
