    central heating not working - motorised valve seems ok

    Billington I wasn't expecting that closing the isolating valves would 'help the pump'. I'm just reporting what happened so that you guys who are kindly helping me out get the full information. You suggested undoing the screw on the front. I did that, with the system powered down, and was a bit...

    central heating not working - motorised valve seems ok

    Thanks for all the replies so far. The pump is already on setting 3 It is a Grundfos UPS 25-80. I tried undoing the screw on the face of the pump, but hot water came out. I closed off the isolator valves either side of the pump, the water slowed to a trickle but continued. With the screw...

    central heating not working - motorised valve seems ok

    Hi I have a Thermecon Option 90/120 boiler. Hot water is fine, but central heating is not working. The outlet from the boiler goes through a pump then splits into two pipes, one for hot water, one for central heating. Each pipe has a 2-port motorised valve with a Honeywell head. This is what...

    US Porter Cable 7518

    Just thought I would tidy up the loose ends on this thread, in case anyone else is in the same position I was. It was very easy to get the PC7518 working, the speed control electronics work just fine, it doesn't run hot. I have now completed the router table/cabinet, and the PC is installed in...

    Creating storage room in carport roof space

    Hi Masona You are correct of course, they are roof trusses. I understand it now. So the reason they seem too flimsy to be used as floor joists is because they aren't floor joists. The horizontal members are in fact part of a triangulated structure, and therefore much stronger than unsupported...

    who makes b & q pro

    I bought the B&Q pro plunge router The plunge lock won't lock. The locking lever is made of soft plastic with an octagonal recess which fits over the octagonal head of a brass screw. If you try to use enough force to lock the plunge, the soft plastic deforms and turns on the screw. So I removed...

    Creating storage room in carport roof space

    Hi I am planning to create a store room by flooring the roof space of my carport. The car port is quite substantial, breeze block construction, more like a garage but no doors. Its 5m wide by 6m deep. The roof joists run across the 5m span, ie the joists are 5m long, 600mm apart, and...

    US Porter Cable 7518

    Hi Breezer OK, thanks for the heads up about additional costs. I have imported stuff from the US before, so I'm aware of those costs. And as I said in my original post, I already have the PC router. The lack of warranty doesn't worry me, this router isn't even available over here so I don't...

    US Porter Cable 7518

    Hi breezer & big-all First, thanks to both of you for replying. breezer, do you have some vested interest in stopping people importing tools from the US? With all due respect, its attitudes like yours which allow 'rip-off Britain' to exist. It was only when people started importing cars that...

    US Porter Cable 7518

    Hi I have bought a US Porter Cable 7518 router for installation in a router-table. I also have a 110v site transformer. I had assumed that I could simply fit a new plug onto the router, plug it into the transformer, and away I go, but now I'm not so sure..... The router has a two-prong US...
