I have a Redring 650 9.5 kw Shower Heater. In the past year the solenoid on the water inlet valve failed, and was replaced. It happened a second time, and now a third. Before I replace it yet again can anyone tell me if there is a fault elsewhere causing this to happen. Any advice would be...

I want to fit a reversing camera to my Fiesta, using a wireless video transmitter and receiver. I would like to fit the camera and transmitter inside the tailgate. Has anyone had any experience of how efficient the video signal would be ? I'm worried that interference would mess up the...

Hi Wayne 4P, I know your post on DIYNOT is over a year old, but I have the same model of shower and the same fault. Did you manage to sort it out and change the solenoid, if so I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how you went about it. Many thanks Ian

Hi Hope you can help me with my daughters boiler. This morning she woke up to no heating - igniter was clicking away. I looked at it this pm and saw that the timer clock had stopped 8 hours earlier. - PCB fuse dead. Put in a new fuse, it blew during the lighting sequence. Then disconnected...

TCC Heating - I did as you suggested, job done. Thanks very much. Ian

I have a Shower Mixer connected via a Showerforce pump to an Open Vent Direct Cylinder, heated by an Immersion Heater. The Pump supplies the Shower Mixer only. It has always worked well. I recently drained the system to replace the Immersion Heater. When I refilled the system I checked that...

My Samsung TV with PVR connected has severe pixielation problems and sometimes makes noises that seem like 'Spitting sounds. I disconnected the PVR leaving the TV directly connected to the aerial. The interference is lessened but still there. I looked through the TV menu and found that...

Thanks to everyone for your help. I think the youtube video must be the answer, thanks JJ4091.

Thanks for your reply Yardie, The Element is under the floor of the Oven but it can't be seen from the storage compartment under the oven. I can access the connections at the rear but can't see how to pull the element out. Thanks again Ian

Hi I have a Prestige Cooker Model PR100DODF. The main oven has a Grill Element - Fan Oven element, and a Base Oven Element. I need to change the Base Oven Element but I'm blowed if I can see how to remove it from its compartment once it's disconnected. I have looked behind the...

 The machine was working OK but the Motor Brushes were on the way out, so have just replaced them. However it now makes a screechy sound when the drum is spinning, the faster the spin the faster the noise.. Is this due to dodgy brushes ? would appreciate any advice. Thanks ian

Thanks very much for your advice, it sounds good to me. Just one more thing, I read somewhere that the system would need Zone Valves to bring it up to date, I assume that means a Diverter Valve to separate the Ground Floor from the 1st Floor circuits. Is this necessary? Thanks again

My present boiler is a Glow-worm Ultimate 50BF. It does Central Heating only, 11 Rads, on two floors. All Rads have TRV’s - Expansion tank in loft - Very simple programmer which I really only use as an On/Off switch. No Roomstat. DHW is by Economy7, which I am happy with and...

I have had this problem, for a long time I couldn't find a manhole. Then we had snow, And there it was. The warmth in the drain had melted the snow on the concrete covering the manhole. I realise this is a long-term solution for you, and not very helpful right now.

Hoping someone can help me, dishwasher stopped mid-cycle, all LEDs dead. There is water in the bottom of the compartment, if I empty it out with a cup it refills and then the float valve shuts it off, so there is electrics to some parts. I have checked the door switch - all OK. Then examined...

I recently overhauled the Diverter Valve using a Repair Kit. All went well and worked OK afterwards. However I had some parts left over which I assume fitted in the rear part of the valve. I tried to unscrew this part ( see picture ) but was worried about causing damage. Does this part...

Boiler is fitted in the garage, a few weeks ago in the cold weather it froze up and the EXV split apart. Boiler stilled worked OK but strangely enough it wasn't till today that the water flooded out. I intend to fit an external vessel to the Return just below the Boiler. My question is - The...
