    Prevent Outside Tap Feed Freezing

    I cut my gas bill by 30%. I installed a multi stove. Hard to compare apples and oranges. Old back boiler and cylinder versus combi.

    Boiler has started leaking water urgent advice needed?

    Solid fuel back boiler decommission

    By regs if you are going to continue using the fire then it should be removed. In reality pipes are cut back as far as possible and the back boiler drilled. Light a fire and you will get some steam as the remaining water is boiled off.

    Solid fuel hot water

    Turn oil boiler stat down to 60 as a starting point. It will have ran like that for years. If you need better control its going to need £££ spending. Depends what your end game is.

    Camray 3 boiler lock out

    Sounds like a mectron burner. You can hear it go through the ignition sequence and definitely no oil at point of ignition and locks out. I'd first look at oil pressure whilst washing and also photo cell.
