  1. Hi - thanks for the fast response!   Boiler fired up OK this morning, but it's not so cold this morning. When it runs, it runs cleanly, but does have a tendency to shut off / restart fairly regularly - but I assume this is normal The installation is reasonably new - less than 18 months - and this is the first seriously cold weather it has encountered. Boilerhouse and tank are in an uninsulated outhouse, and I suspect fuel temperature is the issues - though I've never worked with oil-fired systems before. We're attempting to lag all feed pipes as best we can, and I'm wondering whether a standard UK 2 burner (wick) greenhouse heater would be helpful. Had a quick look (around Cahors) yesterday but couldn't find one/ (I have a standard Parasene one at home which runs 8 days on 5 litres of fuel). Access to a PDF manual would be very useful here - since the owners don't have this in their posession. Settings would be appreciated. Thanks very much for the help!!! The faster I get these people on broadband the better!!
  2. Chris, where did you get the PDF manual for the Lamborghini boiler from please?! I'm currently staying with relatives in France who have a Lambo (Fire 1 C/FR) which after a few hours of disuse, refuses to fire up - it's showing a red light at the top left which is clearly a 'fan failure' light - we don't have a manual, and I've figured we can restart the boiler by taking the bottom front cover off and pressing what appears to be a priming pump/switch. However, this is ponly a temporary fix. My assumption is that this is possibly associated with fuel temp - the outsoide temp being around -3 at the moment.   Any thoughts, or a hint as to where I could find a manul, would be gratefully received!!! [quote user="chrisbooth"] Hi again, hope you dont mind me asking another question. I have manged to download a pdf file with the instructions for the Lamborghini boiler. It appears the boiler has an output of around 34kw, it is a combi bolier but we only use it to heat the radiators. the water is provided by electric on heures creuse. If I purchased new injector for 0.50gph (does this stand for gallons per hour?), is it possible for me to self fit. I am confident of being able to physically fit the part into the burner unit, but if it then needs to be adjusted it will be beyond my expertise. I am off to france on Boxing day and now you have kindly given me information I would like to use that in making the boiler more efficient   Thanks again   Chris [/quote]
