HI everyone,
I went to look at a prehistoric gravity fed Ideal Vulcan SX / DLX boiler with reports of no heating or hot water. This is a 4 pipe 28mm pump fed heating and gravity fed water pipes to water cylinder. I found that the heating pump had stopped spinning and found sludge behind the...
Hi all,
Got home today and the dreaded Ideal Isar boiler had stopped working on me. Error L:F flashing on the control panel
Took the front off and noticed a small trickle of water dripping around a small copper pipe on the left hand side
According to a few things that I've seen online the...

Hello Everyone,
I've just joined and am trying to help a damsel in distress - in very remote area of West Scotland. I'm hoping someone can help me here.
Her 17 year old Ideal Mini 28 combi boiler has stopped working. She's had someone round to look and has been told she needs a new boiler...
My boiler is displaying the F1 error meaning I have no hot water or heating. A quick google search tells me that this error is caused by low pressure and theres many tutorials on increasing the pressure. However, my problem is that the pressure guage is telling me the boiler is at ideal pressure...
This boiler was flooded through the condense drain which was connected to a gutter downpipe that was blocked at the end. The people came home to a flooded kitchen. Water came back up the condense tru the trap up the heat exchanger and out tru the fan and gas valve connection imside the casing...
Replaced a main heat ex today for a customer on an ideal isar, heating is ok but when running hot water it overheats and comes up with HA fault code, only happens on hot water though. Any way to shift the air from the plate heat ex? Its situated flat in these boilers instead of the usual on its...
Pressure is ok but increased to see if boiler would click into action but didn’t, have reduced back, needle is moving on pressure gauge, have tried reset but still nothing, any ideas before I call someone out? Thanks
Having replaced the soft close seat on this suite twice,(which are not cheap), plus the soft close hinges, does anyone know of a viable alternative soft close seat that looks good on it.
Many thanks.

A mate tells me he cured a heat engine leak on this boiler (confirmed by boiler isolation & dripping condensate drain) by adding K-Seal car type sealant, and It's still ok after 5 years. Has anyone else had success curing these leaks with sealant additives?
Ideal Combi bolier. When I repressurise the system to 1bar it almost immediately dumps the water out the condensate pipe before even switching in on at mains. HELP!
I have a potterton suprima 50l running a gledhill Boilermate 2000 job on at the minute.
the potterton failed its CPA test with a ratio of 0.1205 and its kicking out a terrible odour.
the customers opted for a replacement but I'm a lil stumped on ideal straight swaps. ideally I'd of opted for...
Hi all. Daughter's boiler again thanks for help last year.
New problem - hot water works fine, but when calls for heat boiler starts and runs for a few seconds then stops. No error messages.
My thought is that pump is inop, so boiler starts up but then switches off when the small amount of...
Hi,
I have kept this piece of rubbish going for quite a long time and I don't like the idea of getting defeated by it! Every year there is something new to tackle and replace. I will eventually replace it for a real one!
I have now got a problem that I can't work out and was wondering if some...
Hi I have an Ideal Logic+heat 24 (Not Combi) it is: Alternatly flashing between: 0 (on its own) and C (on its own) when in central heating mode, it works fine on water only, any idea as to the fault?
many thanks

Hello,
I have a Logic Combi ES38 Boiler and for some reason, it's ignoring the commands from the thermostats on the wall, for example, both thermostats are set to off but yet the boiler is still on, I've tried the following:
I've turned it to just water and not radiators no effect.
Changed the...
Hi,
I have a an IDEAL ICOS HE 15 boiler that was fitted in 2005 to a new build property and in general it's been pretty reliable over the years. However the last few weeks it started to show an L&F fault, which a reset normally clears for a week or so. However yesterday morning I woke to the L&F...
hi all , was having a few problems with my heating/hot water when water was put on it would heat up but also heat the radiators up so after bit off searching came up with the 3way port valve so i changed for a new one as when i looked at it when the water was on it was making a buzzing noise, so...
