I have the above Bolier that up until 3 days ago was working fine, When you first turn the central heating on it fires up for about 30 seconds then turns itself off, then straight away it will fire up again for about another 5 seconds before it shuts down completely and the red boiler light comes on, meaning its shut itself off.

i watched what it did when i tried to start it tonight, it makes a kinda whurring noise, and you can see the led light flickiering on the control panel for the heating as its trying to start up. It will then go on for 5 seconds and go straight out, it will then try to start up again and just go on the red shut down light.

When you try again it starts up with a loudish whhooosssshhh sound as if its cleared something and it will be fine. It will then be fine all night and if u turn it off after an hour or so and put it straight back on again it will be fine.

It is only when its been left overnight etc that it wont work again first time

Thanks all

Chris

I want my bike to remain straight up so it looks like it is on display in a museum when I park it. I want put a longer kickstand on my bike so it doesn't lean over to one side when I park it. Anyone know how long of a kickstand I should get?

Car cranks once - nothing - cranks - nothing- then turns over - Could my battery need water or maybe the cables are loose or dirty? What do you think?

Does a automatic car starter void any part of the Hyundai warranty? I would have it installed a reputable place of course.

the remote engine starter so that your car would be hot/cold once you get in it. i love it when it's so cold in the winter that i can barely drive because my fingers hurt bc of the cold. lol

my friend gave me a mini air compressor.he got it at a flea market with a bunch of other things,when he asked the guy,who was in his 60's,what it was he said it was an air brush.i have an air brush kit and it looks like it definitly could be one.the only part that i have though is the compressor and the glass jar with lid,that holds the paint.the name on it is HUDSON.it looks like its something from the early 50's.possibly made of stainless steel,has a handle above the electric motor/compressor and a glass jarr similar to an old canning jar,with a 2 piece metal cap.and there is i fitting bolted to the lid with 2 holes in the fitting and on the opposite side of the fitting are 2 very small tubes soddered to it that go down inside the glass jar.it plugs into a regular outlet/110 volt.like i said it works/pumps out air.have you seen one and since its old is it worth anything?

I have a 91 Geo Prizm. Lately, when I am turning, my car has been making a loud screeching noise. Interestingly enough, it doesn't happen every time I turn, just when I first start up the car. The first few turns will result in screeching noises, but after it's "warmed up" the screeching goes away when I'm turning.

My power steering fluid level is filled.

Any ideas?

I got back from a 2 week vacation and found the battery on my BMW 325Ci was down due to the radar detector I forgot to unplug before leaving. I tried to jumstart it myself but was unsuccesful. So, I called AAA and had someone come out with the battery pack. The guy attached the battery and asked me to turn the key - all electricals started functioning as normal (previously lights, etc were dim) - but the car still would not start. He then attached another battery (in parallel I believe) but it still would not start - so he gave up and left. 2 hours later, I found the car to be completely dead - no electricals working, no lights on the dashboard when I turn on the ignition, nothing! Did the fuse burn out?

I have a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer and it's making a grinding noise that gets louder when I press the brakes. Could it be the drive shaft?
