    Mira Event Power Shower hot feed stopped working

    Is this the one with the integral pump? Maybe you’ve got an air lock in the pipe, do you have auto air vents on the high point?

One thing they were pushing is for is engineers to report non gsr installations or even bad gsr installations we come across, I’ve seen plenty jobs not quite right when I go to do a service or landlords check, just bits and bobs like gas pipe slightly undersized or...

    gas safe inspection event

    Can’t remember how many, maybe 40 or 50, it was open book you were asked to take a copy of unsafe situ. Dead easy pal, we’re told if you failed the test you’d get a site visit.

    BOXT Boilers and Boiler Installations - Are you a BOXT Installer?

    Cast iron radiator with no bleed valve?

    You could always open the lower valve close the upper and crack the nut between the upper valve and the rad, that should get rid of most of the air. I’d be reluctant the drill the rad, Murphy’s law comes into play here 🤪
