Ok many thanks for all the help.I did take some pics...but in doing that I found the fault(!) It was actually the cable that went from the filter (connected to an extension socket) to the router. The cable was damaged and was causing the short.I replaced and everything perfect..in fact the...

Yes I will try to take some tonight..... Thanks again!

Sorry Paul, you'll regret giving me advice soon....firstly the 'old wiring thing' sounds about right as I seem to remember the BT guy saying something about that when he installed the master socket (back in April). Ok so I disconnect the wires and the phone works fine (plugged into front of...

Hi the 2 wires to the face plate are not striped. If I was to disconnect these 2 wires from the face plate could I then screw it back to the wall and plug into it as normal? I may not really need to use any extensions.Currently its hanging off the wall as the phone only works when plugged into...

Thanks for that Paul. I have 2 'extension' wires on back of face plate (red and blue I think?)...but whatever the case it is 2 separate wires. So if one of the sockets has become faulty (short circuited) then that could be it? Is there an easy way to check this (I have a feeling there may not...

I had a 'Open Reach' master socket fitted by BT earlier in the year. Everything has been perfect until 2 days ago.Phones/broadband stopped working. First thing was I removed the lower frontplate of the MS and plugged straight into the (inner) socket...everything perfect.Plug back in...

Hi there, wonder if anyone can help/advise. When I switch on the hot water...my radiators get hot as well (still have hot water).I was told that its most likely my 3 way valve which is a Honeywell V4073A1039. Firstly it has a little lever on the underside which has manual/Auto on it....Im...

Ok fair point...it IS alight.When the boiler switches on you hear the 'tick' noise and the pilot ignites then you get the louder 'solenoid type click' which is usually followed by the burners igniting.Its this solenoid that seems to be actuating on and off.As I said before I suspect a dry joint...

have a fluke multimeter (good one) and have worked with both voltages........

Hi there, im new to this forum so sorry if i have posted it in the wrong place.I have a Potterton Prima F boiler which has started making loud clicking (solenoid-type noises).When it switches on normally you get the 'click' then the burner ignites.Sometimes it clicks a number of times.I dont...
