ban-all-sheds: I'm not sure how any of your questions helps with my original wiring query where I had hoped to draw on the vast wealth of expertise of the kind people who try and assist others with less knowledge, but here goes. You'll see from my original photo that the PIR is physically...

They seem to be from around £23 upwards, as much as some entire new PIR lights, but anyway cant see any that can be used to replace an existing PIR that's part of a floodlight. They all seem to be stand alone.

Hi Sunray, would that then prove red, black & blue is L, N, & SL respectively? Thanks.

Hi rocky, thanks, definitely black unfortunately. Maybe because they've rusted, but I cant make out if the recessed sensor cover screws are very small crosshead or torx even after trying all sorts of driver types so havent been able to get into it. Even with a small flat screwdriver blade I can...

Hi Doggit, thanks for response, nothing on the PIR itself. The overall light is a Synapse 5000, (as in this link http://www.newandused.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1000x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/7/1795_3.JPG)

Good point Adam. Between red and blue I get a solid 15M on the multimeter 2000Mohm range (funnily enough no reading using the 20M range). Between red and black on the 2000M range get a high reading that increases to an open circuit reading. Same between blue and black. Does this suggest red and...

I probably should have said 'assuming' rather than use the Americanism 'guessing'!

Hi folks, to cut a long story short, I took a PIR sensor from an old halogen floodlight and fitted it to another of the same wattage. Stupidly I didn't note down what colours connected to what on the original and hoped you guys may know. Please see photo. I'm guessing blue connects to neutral...

When I had problems with this boiler's DHW only reaching around 35C late last year I got great advice here for which I'm extremely grateful and hoped not to be looking for more! Sorry for the long history but it may be relevant. Late last December, diverter recon kit fitted but it didnt improve...

Update. As of this morning the DHW only got to 35C and 3 downstairs rads nearest manifold got warm (boiler is upstairs) so I'm guessing that shouldn't happen and does indicate diverter problem?

Turned off cold feed into boiler and no water came out of the hot taps or any of the mixer taps when in the hot position. Always serviced by Corgi or GSR engineers. Most recent company has been established since 1926. From memory at last service, outer case off, burner area covers off, brushed...

Thanks Agile. Certainly been serviced every year, whether properly I cant tell! If cold feed to boiler is turned of and water comes out of taps, what does that suggest? Ta

Thanks muggles. Unfortunately there are no isolation valves on anything in the house (except boiler and toilet). I suppose any mixer tap could be passing cold into the hot? All taps are affected and only get properly hot now if opened about half way.

Vokera Linea Plus AG Combi For years the DHW thermostat on the boiler was set for a water temp of 50C (on the boiler display) when a tap or our Mira Excel shower valve was fully open. This temp can no longer be achieved, summer or winter, regardless of thermostat setting. Typically, right now...
