Seal leaks, and/or condensation. There should be drains along the lower edge, check they aren't blocked.

There was no 'correct' one, they only offer custom systems. A replacement OEM back box was no longer available, so I asked if they could fit a custom back box, equal to the silence of the OEM. What they fitted was the 'boy racer' noisy version, despite me making it clear, in email, what I...

That reminds me I should check!

The major issue with any form of heat storage, for later use, is predicting how much you might actually need. That will depend on what the weather will be, in up to 24 hours time. Underestimate, and you will be cold, overestimate and you waste money. Gas, or oil, you can get it just right...

They've fitted a completely different back box, to the first one they had fitted.

As above! It will be a bit expensive, and need much more than just a thermostat - It's an entire, integrated system. Well worth the extra expense, because they are a very clever system.

No, if they were just patrolling, if they were already on route to a call, then that would be very different. 'Three Little Words', might have been useful, to get assistance quicker to your location.

and kept (maybe confusing it, with 'Iceland' - he perhaps has designs on that too?

As above, sharp pair of scissors, and a plastic milk bottle. If you need thicker, then an ice cream tub should work.

That happeing, would be my concern!

Our living room radiator, is in a bay window, and if blocked in by the usual style of sofa, would suffer the same issue. To get around it, I deliberately chose a sofa, on small legs, so there was space under to allow air flow, through to the rear and the rad.

I don't know, but I doubt it - I couldn't take a proper look, it was outside, very wet, and hidden by bodywork. I'll have a proper look once it dries up. The original back box, was quite large, the replacement, and what I could of it this morning, was tiny.

Months ago, I decided to fork out for the back-box of the car's exhaust, to be replaced with a custom-made stainless one. Custom, because the OEM were no longer available. I sounded terrible, noisy, boomy, not at all what you would expect, in a 'gentleman's carriage', nor what I had specified...

Long, long ago, I had a top floor flat, in an Victorian converted house, with the power and all gas coin metered, except I found there was one single socket, which I soon discovered - remained on, when the coinage ran out. Obviously a wiring error, bu guess which socket I plugged the heater in?

Nicotine staining, would condense out on the surface of oil paint, but was it able to soak into the surface, to yellow it?
