s3k....
yes mate, im not entirley familiar with that boiler and couldnt say of hand weather it had a diverter valve or not, but my guess is still, that if it does have one, then its the diaphram..... i wasnt really suggesting the flow switch micro sensor was the problem, just that eliminating it is the first step towards finding fault with the diaphram in the diverter valve...
you suggestion is a valid one, worth taking a look at.
ill see if i can download a manual from the manufacturer now and take a look....
but even more so with the heating on/off issue, if it does have a div valve, i put money on it being that.
ill have a look now.....
i could be wrong, its hard to diagnose a fault down a broadband cable....
also s3k.... do you have any experience with dreaded " jaguar" boilers.... made by glow worm for plumbcentre....???? im having trouble with one.... and locating a part... its a small metal clip ( not a circlip though) holding a pipe off the dhw heat exchanger into the blow off valve.... doesnt have a part number or anything ... plumb centre have washed there hands of jaguar and glow worm arnt very helpfull either...
seems a shame to tell somone their boilers inoperable due to a 50p clip ????
its a jaguar 24ktvj.
any help is welcome..

Have all the boilers I work on on my laptop cos I work for BG. The closest I have is the jaguar 23, formerly the ktv15 if thats any help? I have the parts lists and diagrams and installation instructions and what not, but obviously there are a few clips to be seen. There is one small clip that has a screw and screws into the main manifold behind the pump? The actual PRV just screws into the manifold and DHW heat exchanger just has one securing screw that goes onto the manifold. The option doesnt have a divertor valve as I thought earlier. Its just a flow switch. Vokera have always had problems with there APS's right back to the RS turbo range which is why I would say check that first. I think we all have different methods of finding faults. It all comes down to experience but yes your right about diaphragms wearing in the valves but it would not be my first line of thought though who said I was any good at what I do anyways lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
