- Having to deal with the last person's bodge, meant that I lost a lot of time to get this issue sorted. How do some people get away with doing this like this?

Blimey bud, I only replace the diaphragms as they split, six screws. Hours work and on to the next. Worcesters were easy until they slung them over the back of the boiler.
Well done to you though bud 👍👍
Thanks mate 👊🏾
These jobs are insanely frustrating, sometimes everything seems to go against you. Perseverance and patience required 😂
💯
Great job though.
You kept your cool and dealt with the issue.
Thanks man 👍🏾
You couldn’t write that about the clip mate,what a bummer, how the feck it didn’t leak before,
Brilliant in depth repair as always 10/10 for sticking with that one mate
👍👍🤜
Cheers Tony, I was at my wit's end when I tried to put it all back together 😭
great knowledge videos you make,so interesting,well done..remember stress kills but it makes for great viewing lol.
Haha thanks mate 😅

Thank you!
Great video, you have lots and lots of patience, well done you.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Well done with that mate.
Thanks man 👊🏾
Great video ,enjoy watching and learning
Nice one
Nice job Broski, I've had too many of them apart. Actually a reliable boiler that chugs away nicely
Nice one bro 👊🏾
Not much comfort now but I learned after fighting with a fair few. That you can unspin the diverter cartridge saves a lot of agree
Yeah I knew you could do that but I thought with the access it would be good to change the whole thing. Next time I'm just going to get the cartridge! 👊🏾
How do you unspin the cartridge bud?

As an engineer my self mate, I would be pushing for a new boiler. Been there many times fixing old boilers and there's no money in it, in my opinion anyway.
Depends on the extent of the repair needed. This one was pretty spotless inside, I've been to much newer boilers in much worse condition. I don't think this job warranted a new boiler personally
Yeah that looked in great nick for its age to be fair
You can easily make money fixing boilers. Not to mention you gain yourself a customer. If you fix the boiler when someone else just wants to flog them a boiler when it is time to change, who do you think gets the job?
To get a leak on a job like that after you've had to make an unexpected hours round trip is soul destroying. Then your mind runs to all the other jobs you have to get to,knowing now you'll be late home
💯 exactly that mate. Didn't get home till gone 10pm that night 🤦🏾♂️
keep up the good work been there seen it and got the turban but flu tube was not around then 😄
Thank you paaji 👊🏾
They do a repair kit for these and it can be done in situ.
Nice one 👍🏾
Painted nail? Bigger hammer has been used?
It's a bruise on my nail where I caught it with a pair of grips
I have a 3 port Motorized valve I change it with a new one it worked for one day on ch and then I changed the synchro it worked for a week now again it’s not working on ch the hot water is working fine boiler is fine any idea why is it doing this the system has been running okay for 20 years any help please
You may need to check your external controls to see if they're all working ok too
Probably the actuator rather than the valve
Never replace the synchron motor as it’s normally the teeth on the lever that the motor moves into position that don’t align up properly replace the whole valve and motor and be done with it
British Gas tell all their engineers to replace synchro motors to save money but when you have to go back for a recall they complain that you didn’t complete a first time fix, you just can’t win, get the job done the way you think it needs to be done without anyone else telling you otherwise
Was that a refurbished valve? I fitted one yesterday, it leaked like a sieve. I had to replace the cw diagram and all the screws were loose 😅
Yeah mate, ruined my day 😭
Good video mate, just done my own - difficult to keep pcb dry 😀
Thanks man, yeah terrible design for water getting to the PCB!
Great videos mate thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍🏾
I had it before mate customer rang had an engineer to change diverter 2 days later flooded her kitchen she didn’t want him back he flicked the clip off lost it and used a zip tie cowboys everywhere take the diverter out with the micro switches on just mark them with a marker pen the way they went much easier 👍 another tip take the old one and buy the refurb kit and renew the old one at home at night always have a spare in your van times money 💪
Nice one mate 👍🏾
This job can do that to you..thing is we cant just leave it cos people need there hot water and heating..you done well ..
@@archielever cheers man 👊🏾
One of those jobs that drains you so badly you're not even that happy that you achieved success in the end. You just feel wrecked 😂
💯 you know it
That's what it's all about broski, going the extra mile for clients separates the wheat from the chaff
Thanks man 👊🏾
Nice one chris! I hate doing these, always get water in the pcb and if you dont change all the o rings always get leaks 😢😂
Cheers mate 👊🏾
Should be a clip on either side of the bypass
Make sure you replace the o rings on both sides before reconnecting
The side of the bypass you didn’t disconnect will start leaking because you disturbed it by disconnecting the connection on the 3 way valve, it might not but be prepared for a nightmare if it does 😂😂😂😂
I’ve got a divertor on a Worcester 28 cdi rsf on Tuesday to replace, not looking forward to seeing that the cold water o ring will start leaking after everything is back together 😂😂😂😂😂
Luckily that one didn't!
You we’re lucky mate
