      @Giles:

      In about a week.  I am only getting 30 or so in total, I think I really fecked up,  I am anticipating a shit storm…..

      That's exactly the info I needed.  I found last years at SE so that's one less person queued up.  I think I heard that the alpaca lining is longer.  I think I prefer the trimmer version.  I assume they will be like the N1 vest.  Win Win.

        The alpaca is longer in the IHM-09 than the IHM-04.  It is the same as on the N1 vest.

          Anyone who knows something about boilers?.. Thing is, last year I had a plumber come over three times cause we didn't have warm water… Well, we had some now and then... I just turned on my heating yesterday for the first time, and guess what: no warm water today (well, I was able to shower, my brother wasn't)... Shit is acting up again... But it has to do something with the heating I guess... Just can't figure it out...

          This is the setting I've been using since spring last year (since I stopped using the heating system, I think). Always plenty of warm water:

            Have you tried turn it up?? #obvious?

            Also is there any warm/hot water, or just limited amount? (I know nothing about anything analog, so will likely add little value from here out, but it's a start)

              Yeah: obviously I've tried cranking it up…

              There is some warm water... But it's limited to whether the boiler wants to stay on whilst heating the water... The problem is (again) that, when we ask for warm water, the boiler turns on, the light for warm water lights up, but then seconds later it turns off, leaving us with cold water.

              Everyting in the damn thing was replaced last year. It has worked PERFECTLY for 7-8 months. But now that we've turned the heating on, it craps out.

                You're not going to like my answer but it sounds like something is tripping out when you add the heating element to the hot water part, this could be a number of things…

                1. Loose/ broken fuse.
                2. Faulty PCB board.
                3. Faulty pump.

                Is it possible to use either heating or hot water seperately, does the fault only occur when both are used?

                Source: I come from a family of gas engineers, helping them was my first job and I picked up a few things.

                  Aye but all those things were replaced spring 2k14. Plus it worked fine, til I put me heating on. The heating works fine, just fine, but now no hot water… If I turn the heating off, I still don't have warm water.

                    Is it a combination boiler? What brand is it?

                          Could it have something to do with the valves (red and blue)?.. I have been fondling the red one trying to get the temperature of my warm water down (on minimum setting it still is way too hot)… This was before the plumber came round though... Think he checked all those...

                          Anyway: tomorrow someone will come around to have a looksie (the perks of renting)... Just wanted to try you guys as I had a weekend to spare to try and fool around with advice...

                          Thanks Gav  🙂

                            I'm no expert by any means, but it sounds like you have a faulty thermostat/temperature gauge.  Everything functions, it just thinks your water is already hot, so it turns off before anything gets done.  Probably a 5€ part and 50€ worth of labor.

                            Anyway, what's the big deal?  Everyone knows Belgerians don't bathe.  Or is that the Portugalish?  I always get those eastern European countries mixed up.

                                Can’t someone start a plumbing forum? What I’m saying @Seul is if you love plumbing so much you should sell your IH collection and use the money to go to trade school and buy yourself some jeans with a low rear rise. 😛

                                        Sometimes it’s good to have a sense of humor about things that are not amusing… not all things that are funny are comical… some are perplexing and mirth can help to cause relief in such instances. That said. 😶

                                          It's also good to understand when a joke simply isn't funny.
