Now it is nice and frosty in the morning, the eberspacher decided to pack in. I tried clearing the error codes, but it would not light. I had to remove it in order to return it for fixing. This is where I wish I had fit isolator valves to it.Once I had turned off all of the radiators, I managed to get most of the water from the header tank collected in a bottle for re-use. I removed the boiler and, while it was off, decided to tidy up the pipework running to the boiler, to reduce any chance of airlocks. I spent about an hour cutting pipes, and fitting them behind the engine, dangling almost upside down, and banking my head on the mains cupboard repeatedly.
When I tried the pipe with some water, almost every joint was leaking!. I removed all of the pipes, dangling almost upside down, and banking my head on the mains cupboard repeatedly.
It was then I discovered that, instead of 22mm pipe, I was using 20mm conduit!
Never start a plumbing job on a Sunday! Sod it, I decided to go to the pub. Just to be different, I decided to go to the butcher, 14 miles or so along the canal. It was a beautiful sunny day, if a little cold, as I walked towards the remains of the old Blackburn Royal Infirmary,
..through Mill Hill...
..and up to Infirmary locks.
Just beyond Whitebirk, the canal was frozen, leaving the ducks confused.
When I returned to the boat, there was a new arrival.
Needs a bit of TLC.
