Can someone tell me if this will work. Want to put a bathroom extractor fan in to remove the bathroom steam. Instead of knocking holes in the wall I want to vent to my loft and straight into the cold water header tank - theory being steam will condense to water. Am I mad :D

Morning all, Can you please let me know the cost of running a 12.5Kw electric shower for 5 minutes compared to running a 105btu combi boiler for 5 minutes. Thanks Stu :D

My old electric shower is about to pack up and I'm considering the options. I want somthing that cheaper to run than the 12Kw electric shower and will give me good pressure. I've got a combi boiler in the airing cupboard upstairs about 12 ft away from the shower and water pressure generally is...

Folks I've got a very tiny leak from the hold in the nut at the very end of the diverter valve, right by the microswitch. Does the smart-money reckon that this could be the diaphram ? Stu

Hello all, Got a 1995 Corsa 1.2 with a problem with the front wipers. They only work on fast and not normal speed. Also when the switch is pulled to off they stop immediately and dont 'park'. I've changed the motor and link assembly today but its made no difference. Suspect the wiper...

Cool. Thanks for the reply

Only 2 pipes. One plastic on the outside and metal on the inside. If the dimensions are the same why not

Evening folks Does anyone know if the flue on a Ravenheat RSF84 boiler is the same diameter as the Baxi 105E. I think they are both 100mm external and 60mm internal pipe but am not 100% Thanks Stu :D
