DavidAshton Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Do a diagnostic test to find out why the eml came on.Rad is fine, stop being a fanny. Quote
mini valver Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 this is really silly and not to knock you mate but have you deffo put the thermostat in the correct way round. cause if it aint it will never open. as they do go in the wrong way round as well Quote
