No mate they were in a state bud cleaned up fine , electrodes were a bit bent tried cleaning them bud and straightening em but i changed them in the end they needed doing in all honesty the new spark electrode is different shape now.
My power washer is the 8 litre one H not super powerful but ideal for these jobs and controllable no need to use the customers water .

Where did you find best for experience mate?
You just pick it up mate as you go along I did a few manufacturers courses you just get to know the faults on certain boilers, it's often a process of elimination the flow charts in the manual along with the fault codes , it's worth learning how to use a multimeter property aswell , you tube is also useful if you're struggling and as a learning aid .

KOP was it you that rigged up one of those pump up bottles to add inhibitor to filling loops?
Yes mate you can do that I just use the plant spray type from a garden centre
Does the filling loop bolt straight onto the sprayer handle or is there a fitting/fittings you use?

About 10", benefit of working in an old house 👍
Real mismatch though. 2 houses knocked through into one. 1 side running an old oil heatslave and the other a wood burner running 4 rads.
Taking the wood burner out of service and bringing 2 22mm copper pipes from combi side to run the 4 rads.

No mate remove the standard Lance what these come with the attach a piece of clear polythene tube with a jubilee clip , the connection to the filling loop or rad is a short length of 15 mm pipe warm the ploythene tube insert the tube again fit a jubilee clip then adapt to suit your application. Cheers kop 😉
Thanks, that should save some time on some jobs. Will have a riffle through of my boxes of tubing from my fish keeping days at the weekend, should have something in there that would be do the trick.
A bathroom modification for a elderly gent with a dodgy ticker, believe it or not I installed this 17 years ago when it was first built , I can't believe it was so long ago removed the bath, tiling ect and found loose plasterwork and cement render which had to come off revealing a couple of nasty cracks. These were ground out the whole wall sealed with SBR and repaired with Fisher resin the area was then dot and dabbed with new plasterboard , formed a new boxing to house the first fix shower pipework again plasterboarded ready to fit Multipanel later on , now have a 5 day break so till later chaps 😁😁.

That Fisher resin can be an absolute life saver. Used it for the first time a couple of years back when I was trying to fit a vertical rad onto a wall that was made of cheese, none of the various fixings were secure enough so ended up setting threaded rods into the wall using the resin which worked a treat.
Bet that was fun to move! How many of you does it take to lug that around?
Just myself. Plenty of practice and........
