I expected this to be a thread about Mrs Nick chatting to a neighbour or summat.
BM ~ You want to get that seen to. Very nasty when smoke comes out of a rear orifice unexpectedly.

Mine has been bust since February, i really should have had it done before it got cold "we'll be with you in 3 weeks" ::)

The point is BM, that after taking apart, and before putting back together, the objective is to FIX it! Just taking apart/putting together alone will not, usually, fix it. That's been my experience anyway.

Well, I took it to bits to the point that I was fairly confident that I could put it back together… whistle:

You running it on Red Diesel again?

No good giving it a good looking at ~ it clearly needs a damn good talking too if not a thrashing.
I know a man who might help

Aaah! Austin/Morris 1100/1300. I hadd one of those and it was great cloud9:

I suspect that most of us had one at one time or another ~ it was a natural progression from one's first mini into which the wife and new baby plus associate paraphernalia would no longer fit.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Operation Fireplace which is wonderful and has earned me loads of Brownie Points… cloud9:
We have a 50KW gas boiler for the central heating… smoke was coming out of the back and The Man pointed out that the chimney is all wrong – it just juts through the wall and should go through the wall at a 45º angle and then up the outside of the house. Basically, all the exhaust from the boiler was ending up in the boiler room instead of outside. scared2:
We could have died. Then who would you have had to take the piss out of eh, eh? point:

Does the Building Insurance cover 'accidents' involving crates of homebrew in the boiler room? whistle:
-
But But But ~ modern gas boilers come with a balanced flu which does not emit anything other than vapour on a cold day and is totally free of noxious substances. They go straight through the wall. I know 'cos I just had one fitted.
My old boiler had a 45degree angle and chimney etc which is all redundant with the new boiler. The man who installed mine told me that he was surprised that it still worked as the "new system" has been in use for at least five years.

Ah well ~ what can I do other than repeat the words spoken to me recently when I was having a bitch about something I could get in London but in North Wales they think I am mad for asking ~ "Well, you made the lifestyle choice didn't you?"

Yup!
LPG Storage tanks (new installations) have to be buried, in concrete xx metres from property and from boundary.
LPG is more expensive than Oil to run and if you do not comply with regs the sup[pliers will not supply.
Mains gas has been costed out as they want GB£100K to lay the mains into the village and a commitment from 50% of homes regarding take up of supply within 5 years. Since all have either LPG, Oil of Solid fuel boilers and elcetric cooking etc no-one in their right mind would sign up.
LPG regs are new and as per the EC. Of course it applies to all EC countries and will eventually apply to older installations as well but only in Brown's Britain will they be enforced with all the rigour the state can muster.

Eventually yes but in the UK, as bloody usual, the Building Regs people at the local councils have got in before the regs come fully into force and are insisting on their being applied now.

. . . and exactly how many people have been killed in LPG gas bottle explosive events in the last 50 years? How many have died due to inhalation of leaked gas in the last 50 years? And yet thousands are dying needlessly in our hospitals through infections acquired whilst in them!
It beggars belief that they are going to these extreme lengths to solve a miniscule problem!
