    Log periodic aerial elements length

    I seem to remember when reading the instruction for the instal of my new one some years ago, that it advised pointing it up a few degrees, for best reception.

    New boiler or not?

    I've heard it mentioned several times, that the plastic cased Magnaclean can be troublesome from a leakage point of view, there are other, perhaps more robust versions, from other manufacturers of mag filters. I have an Omega TF1, which I find is effective.

    Worcester Heatslave 15/19 Problems - Please help.

    Yep, it's as simple as that! In the controls, will be a mains switching relay, outputting live and neutral to the circulation pump.

    You will be repeating that again, in another couple of years..

    Well then, it's fairly obvious - you apply the probes across the pumps terminals, to see if you get mains voltage at that point, then work back. Removing the chrome bleed screw on the pump, to check for rotation, might be another way to ensure it is running.

    Rain coming through bathroom ceiling

    You still need to post a picture from further back, so we can appreciate the overall layout, but... That slow stream of water, in heavy rain conditions, looks as if it might flow straight under that lead work.

    If you don't already know how to do this, then I would suggest it might be better to leave to someone who does know, rather than risk injury.

    Whoops, in which case no problem with a DIY investigation. As above, check the circulation pump.

    Your first step, ought to be to see if power is getting to the pump, then checking if the pump is running, when it has power, but that boiler appears to be room sealed, and so it probably needs a GSE to open it up.

    Help identifying issues in loft.

    Daylight and what appears to be a water leak, onto the timber in photos 3 & 4. He's taken out a complete rafter, which he should not have done, and for no obvious reason. The Velux rafters, should have had the rafters sistered at either side. Insulation - what insulation?

    Accidental nick to socket cable

    Neither of the two is a simple nicked outer sleeve on a cable, the mechanic protection, as is under discussion here, which is more than satisfactorily repairable with a few layer of tape. Those examples given are where a screw has pierced the cable, and made metalwork live. The first case seems...

    For a change, good news, price of electric being reduced.

    Yes, because of the war, but we aren't using much now, and for a few months. The electric is so cheap, because of the winds at the moment.
