Mel B Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Now then, I need you all to send me some 'mental' warmth, our home boiler has stopped working and it's r*ddy freezing!!! Fortunately we have a gas fire and some electric fan heaters but it's still SOOOOO COLD!!! I'm huddling in the 'study' (posh name for spare room!) with the ceramic heater almost cooking my left leg whilst the other is turning to an ice cube. So I'm pleading - I need some warmth telepathically sent my way so come on all you hot heads, hot bods and whoever else has hot bits - share your warmth with me before I turn into an ice-pop! BBBRRRRRRRRRR ....... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 It's just got worse ... it's snowing outside!!!!! At this rate I'm going to end up sleeping in the motorhome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sax Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hello Mel B, Sounds like the best idea, mines parked out on the road less than 15 yards away with new gas bottles to fire up the heater so in a similar situation I would do same. Best Wishes, boil some water fill a hot water bottle and retire to bed otherwise. sax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 If the pilot light will not stay on, it will probably br the thermocouple. Very easilly replaced and not expensive. Available from B&Q and places like it. Take the old one out and get another or a universal one. If thats what it is it will cost less than £10.

BBBRRRRRRRRRR ....... :-( We could always start to talk about the C*****n Club. That always seems to generate a bit of heat. >:-) We had a power cut last week after the storms and were off for 20 hours. Van is parked on the driveway so we went out there to do the cooking.

Usinmyknaus Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi Mel, I'm sure there are lots of people on this site thinking of you and wishing you well. If that doesn't work, think about the proposal by MP's to award themselves a massive pay rise to take their basic pay to six figures plus a further six figures for "expenses", then add in the fact that they awarded themselves a massive, best in the country pension deal and it's all at your expense. Warmed up yet? Take care. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest starspirit Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 So sorry to hear of your plight Mel but that's what you get for living so close to Humberside. It's lovely here in Pembroke with the sun shining so much the heating has gone off and I have to pull the blinds to see the monitor. However it is a real problem when the sun's glare spoils my view out over the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got nothing booked in for the rest of today so I'll put the phone on divert ot my mobile and go sit in the warm at home. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm lovely and toasty!!!!!! We managed to establish that the pump had probably given up the ghost seeing as the boiler was coming on then going off after about 20 seconds. Man came and confirmed the diagnosis, got the bit and fitted it - good quality pump so should last another 10-15 years! Cost £97.38 in total, the labour part was £40.00 and seeing as it took him about an hour and a half plus the travelling to get the part not too bad.

Guest starspirit Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Mel dear I was just thinking of you and up you pop, so to speak. I would offer to help as some on here say that I am a warm and caring person with much warmth to share. However seeing as how you have fixed it now I am quite safe to make such a cynical offer. Be warm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
