Had some cracking nights in there. We stayed in Fuengirola, but one of the lads was thinking of moving out there after he retired from the police. We did a lot of touring about after golf. He was keen on Nerja. Some really lovely spots down there.

Started this one this week

Toilet moved over 5” eg left to give you more space due to 800 tray this also allowed us to lower the tray 5” due to existing drainage being above ground now it’s under the suspended floor

Re adjusted hot and cold under the floor due to bath being / hiding the main runs as they normally do

Moved towel rail over 11/2”

Re did the block wall (existing plaster was blown anyway) to match new tray

Mostly been on safety checks this week, but just had this beaut on call. Boiler 6 months old, but being Friday Vaillant wouldn’t attend until following week earliest. Engineer before me said he replaced the main pcb, said it must be display pcb as definitely power to main pcb. Bear in mind, boiler has worked fine for 6 months, only went off today, no other work carried out in property.

See if you work out the fault before I divulge

 

[ShaunCorbs]

No neutral to the boiler ?

No neutral to the boiler ?

Yes, spot on (ok probably easy for a seasoned engineer like yourself and the photo evidence .)

So, possibly another easy one, how did it work ok for 6 months, with no other work carried out? I could also get it to work today

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Where does the grey wire go ?

Where does the grey wire go ?

To a “disused” room stat. Both greys fed into neutral load on spur, grey wire snipped at boiler end.

 

[Deleted member 120897]

Ok, so basically, the installer assumed blue wire was neutral, L - N was approx 10Vac, N - E was approx 248VAc, L - E was approx 248Vac, so originally I assumed reversed polarity.

What was actually happening was blue wire in spur was switched Live, so boiler would only work with the old room stat that was left connected.

The stat was obviously left in a position where the boiler would operate, and was either turned by customer (said it hasn’t been touched), or it wouldn’t work, as temperature was high today.

Proud of my findings today though.

Nice one mate that's more like it .

Job started Monday, stopped yesterday morning. Customer tested positive for Covid. Makes a real mess of scheduling.
But the sun is shining, can clean out the van and garage.

Finished this one for a while waiting on the clicking trim for the top
