I have a Potterton Combi 100 boiler which heats my hot water and central heating. I have a gas fire in a proper fireplace (ie with chimney) which i dont like. I was wondering if i was to convert it to a wood burning fire with a back boiler to heat my central heating would i need any modifications to the existing combi boiler / piping system? Thanks

I have a combi 80 boiler and it can be really noisey when on, has low pressure and cannot always get continues hot water out of the taps. just wondering if there was any advice about how to sort this? when off there is no pressure showing on the gauge, tried filling loop. hot water takes ages to come through...

Yes, but it involves quite a lot of complicated plumbing including pressure relief valves.If it is not done properly you could end up with steam instead of water in your pipes and a very expensive and dangerous situation.
fraid its very complicated as your heating at the moment is sealed and your solid fuel must be open vented so no you cant , also you dont have stored hot water so all your fire could do is the rad system . because as such there is no control of the heat emmitted from a solid fuel fire you cannot just switch it off or should i say the stats will not switch it off ,the water inside just keeps on heating , heat water up when its sealed = more pressure , all sealed heating systems have to have a high limit stat on them so that if somthing fails like a stat the high limit stat kicks in and cuts off the power , it then has to be manually reset and the fault rectified . im afraid the guy that decided you should use a dunsley nutralizer doesnt know what hes talking about as its an open vented arrangement , if you fit releif valves all they will do if let out water or steam when your fire is going so NO YOU CANT LINK THEM TOGETHER
