Alright, I thought I'd stick some stats up here so we can see how the forum does over time. It's not a score to beat or anything. The forum does what it does. But it's a good guide as to what works etc when we change things over time.

Hi
Our 3 year old Logic Combi 30 has a fault code of L2 which I understand means the boiler won't ignite.
I've poured warm water on the pipe outside, as I understand condensation may have blocked pipes in the cold weather.
This worked last year but doesn't seemed to have worked this winter.

Is it possible, say, when you have a leak around a basin, bath or shower from a hole in the silicone. Can you apply a bit on top to cure leak? Or, do you need to renew the whole seal?

Hi,

What is the technical difference between a brass and copper olive? As far as I can tell, from my experience, you are more likely to crush a copper olive. That said I have never had a leak from a copper olive but have had the odd one from a brass olive.
I know some guys only want brass olives? Why?
