    SLK 230K power/kickdown problems

    Hi all, while driving on the motorway tonight my SLK seemed to have hardly any power at all, I literally had my foot to the floor and it slowly climbed to around 70mph but felt like it had no more to offer. Also wouldn't kick down unless I pushed my foot right down on the switch under the...

    Central Care Plans

    One of the best things about BG homecare is you can normally have someone out the same day or next at worst, and the National Distribution Centre (NDC) has parts for almost every appliance which can be sent anywhere in the UK for next day. So most faults are rectified quickly.

    New Boiler

    Vaillant are also really good boilers, however they can be a nightmare to repair at times due to being very complex appliances. My opinion is only really based on experience of repairing all the different manufacturers boilers and you get to know quickly the ones to avoid or recomend! :crazy:

    New Boiler

    Depending on the size of boiler you require and any additional works to be carried out you shoud expect to pay around £2500 - £3000. Installing the boiler in the loft is actually a good idea, it will save you space and you can have the flue terminating throught the roof. Don worry about heating...

    Central Heating Problems

    Sounds like you may have a faulty central heating zone valve, assuming your system is fitted with one! Have a look around the area of your pump and you should see one or two electric controlled valves (maybe made of plastic or metal) one will control the hot water and one the heating or there...

    Combi problem

    I have to agree with you (of course I'd say that as it pays my wages) but the contract is well worth it. The engineer that visited you will have shown you that your boiler is RSL (reduced service list) which means there is at least one functional part unavailable. Boiler manufacturers will...

    Combi problem

    Try checking the expansion vessel diapraghm is not burst. Remove the cap from the car tyre type valve on the vessel and press it, if water comes out them its burst. If no water comes out, but there is no air in there, then its just a case of the air pressure needing re-charged. Attach a foot...

    Dodgy Plumbers

    I'm sure most of them are good, just watch out for the ones who are working on gas and have no CORGI registration!

    Dodgy Plumbers

    I dont think this is staged, I have seen some of the "work" that has been left by polish plumbers before. Not quite as bad as this but I have had to repair a fair few dodgy jobs they've left!

    SKY HD+ - utter **** from SKY as normal!

    Just phone SKY and say you will take your custom elsewhere, they will normally speed up the process. When we got SKY+ installed in our new flat at the turn of the year they said it was gonna be £170 and we'd need to wait 6 weeks, when I said I would just go with BT vision as they could do it...

    Stag weekend locations

    That sounds good to me! We do intend to drink our destination dry, however there are a few oldies coming who wont want to sit in the boozer all day, so need to do something for everyone. Most of us are 27-28 though. Does anyone know roughly how much flights are to krakow / prague / talinn etc? I...
