We have a Firebird oil boiler, 35kw and have recently started getting issues regarding condensate or lack of it. Long story as short as possible.
Boiler running without any issues for 2 plus years, unusual smell from it turns out to be plastic condensate trap melted. Looked into problem and it's...
Hello, this is my first time on the forum. Three months ago we had a 1000 lt fill. We then noticed a strong oil smell when the boiler was firing up. There was no sign of an oil spill. Contacted our engineer to have the boiler serviced, still the strong oil smell was there. Recommended having new...
I've got a problem with an oil boiler overheating the water, I have a solution and if anybody has any relevant advice, I'd be obliged.
I have a Firebird 90S oil boiler, which was installed about 10yrs ago. It has a Cordice 542788 thermostat fitted, which has a range of 60-90c apparently. The...
Client ran out of oil. Locked out. Has Grant eco ext. wall boiler 1.3 mtrs off ground. Tiger loop on wall same height as burner. Tank 4mtrs away on ground. 10mm copper suction line.

We have a Rayburn 460k Nuway burner which is now over 20 years old which has been regularly serviced and maintained by myself and has generally been reliable. However....last week it has stopped igniting on both boiler and cooker.
Removed the burner and found the blast tube had gone on the...
Hi all
Doing a full roof to ground refurb on an old rural property and looking for oil boiler reccomendations. I've happened upon the Navien brand but am unfamiliar with them-Firebird and Grant are in the mix too....

Hi,
I have an oil-fired Aga with a BM oil control valve and a Flexitemp thermostatic control (see the image in this thread for an example).
When I bought the house I was told by the previous owner that the thermostat didn’t work and so he (and now I) have always run it by setting the flexitemp...
Hi, I'm new to this forum so I hope I've posted this in the right place. I installed a Grundfos UPS2 15-50/60 (part number 98334549) circulating pump into my oil fired central heating system 4 years ago. Recently on the boiler firing up the pump has not started, there is an intermittent...
I have a new Grant Vortex 15/26 oil boiler installed.
It has a boiler thermostat with no numerical information, just a wedge graphic and covers about 1/3 of a turn.
I wondered if anyone could give an indication of what the range of temperatures is likely to be (I don't want to set the boiler...

Got it serviced

An engineer came, changed the fire lock out, changed the pump, changed some braided leads to the burner
no change
I clean the oil filter near the tank
I replace the capacitor...
I have a Worcester Bosch Oil Heatslave 26/32 which is about 17 years old. It has developed a fault that has come in stages so it might be more than one fault. It was fitted with the OEM programmer.
1. When the water heating is on, but the room heating is off, the boiler sometimes heats the...
Hi everyone.
This is to do with a house not yet bought; the oil access issue may well be a deal-breaker.
The house in question has its oil tank in the back garden. Oil deliveries have historically been made via the integral garage which has a door at the back which leads into an extension...
Hey. Fairly new to oil. Serviced above boiler Last week. All working fine but now had customer call to say it keeps going to lockout.
Been and looked today. Symptoms are the boiler ignition process will start. You can hear it sparking. The boiler will fire, run for around 1 min and flame will...
Happy New Year all!
New Year new problems.....
I have a new Titan oil tank to connect up replacing a similar un bunded one.
No problem, fitted the original many years ago, I have my boiler on a temporary tank but I need to get the tank fittings on to get it filled.
The 1" fitting in brass needs...
Hello all.
I'm looking for advice to help my heating engineer fix my problem! He actually installed the unit.
It’s a 3 year old oil boiler, a Firebird with C26 Riello burner.
It’s been running fine since installation, but went into Lockout a couple of weeks ago.
The engineer first changed the...
Hi All,
I have a Firebird Enviromax external oil boiler, it has a Riello RDB2.2 C26 burner which keeps locking out.
It has been an ongoing problem, where I've had to call my local guy several times. He gets it going, but it doesn't stay working for long. Its costing me a fortune for his time...

Bit of help on the regulations please?
An external oil boiler (metal case) sited outside the house but contained in a slightly larger wooden enclosure (foot bigger in all directions, ie not a shed).
Would it be acceptable to place the fire valve inside the wooden enclosure?
My Worcester 20/25 is producing an intermittent surging noise, I reckon it's a similar noise to when I have had air in the fuel line after fitting new fuel hose. Could this be fuel starvation noise from clogged fuel filter. I'm told the fuel filter at the tank has not been changed since install...
