It's probably better for the environment just burning plain old diesel, you take veg oil and process it. Sounds like a tarted up way of saying we take recycled chip shop oil and make bio diesel. Bit like when they banned garages burning waste motor oil to heat the place, forcing them to o pay to recycle it and fit gas heaters.

I know this may be a complete shock, but just become it's on TV doesn't mean it's all real life. He has owned it for quite a long time tho.

Will I have to check the forgeries under a UV light or are they like vampires and burst into flames ?
-
It's her manner of talking that whines and drones on, does the labour party have a finishing school where they teach that annoying condescending tone ?
-
Probably going to be a new flue if they can't find a certificate, if it's anything like electrics. You start playing with an installation, you're responsible/liable for the whole job.

Clarkson still did more for UK farming than the history of country file, so in my book he gets a free pass away from the plague pit.

You have to love the reporting, on suspicion of scaling the tower!. I know it's legalese but you're honour I was framed!.

All depends on the boiler size, old school was 50l per kw and choose the closest larger tank. Mines 1500 on a 25kw, definitely a lot of work. But if you're house is pretty modern it would be a lot easier than my draughty barn of a farmhouse. If anyone says it doesn't need one, find a different installer.

Would you prefer the grass be humanly stunned before those monsters devour it ?

You sure those are deer, they look a bit more like limousine cows.
-
That's not me trying to dissuade you, just the reality of big stand alone boilers and the necessary pipework and tanks required to take advantage of that heat as whilst they can throttle up and down you want to store everything and drip feed it out as required. They do have the benefit of being able to heat a house, as a back boiler setup is obviously limited in heat output to a few kw.

I had a similar thing last month on a 261, broke off the oiler arm, needed a new clutch drum & needle bearing as well. Needed the dealer to remove the clutch tho as it was far too tight for me to remove but all in about £60 including parts and labour.

Can anyone identify the make of this twin wall flue please

Selkirk -
Whilst not my greatest picture, that's my boiler room, think car sized space.
-
I only mention the sweep, as most won't certificate a illegal install.
-
Regulations aren't usually retrospective, however there should be a certificate and a installer data plate close to the fireplace. If not then your neighbors could be correct in it not meeting regulations. Has it been swept by a chimney sweep tho?, As it does look close to opening velux windows. Document J, page 31

I've a 25kw eco Angus, but space is something you will definitely need. Probably looking around 15k installed, if you can connect it to your existing system. Is it a combo oil boiler or do you have a hot water tank ?
-
Whilst it says 1-2 week back order, why is the whole thing cheaper than just the replacement pump motor that's listed under the listing?.
-
As has been suggested, get yourself some eco plugs and kill the root and any remaining suckers.
-
Would that cause them to bite the head off a bat ?. Bloody yanks coming over here scaring our Taylor swift listening too reds with they're death metal.
-
Stubby definitely got the shooting reference!. Plus, how else would you even heavy metal poison a squirrel ?.
-
Probably best to get it cleaned instead of just thrashing it in an effort to clear it out. Plus if it's blocked too much you'll have to fit a new one. Always dubious about the additives as the electronics just adjusts the fuel mixture according to the lambda sensors, if the fuel is rich it just adds less. It does cleans out your tank tho, so filters will be next on the list.

If God is a squirrel I am well and truly going to be on first name terms with him downstairs after the several thousand I've given heavy metal poisoning.

I've been down this rabbit hole a year or two back, take the cowl off and have a look at the locking lugs before spending any money. I had one that looked like Selkirk but the locking lugs were totally different, glad I checked before spending any money as it was also knackered after 10 years. But would say after 18 years best get it checked internally, I had to bite the bullet for 1.5k for a complete new flue.

I will quite happily commit industrial scale genocide if they're horse flies tho, if there is a god he must have let the devil design that poor excuse for an animal.
