    Grohe toilet pneumatic push plate

    Clearly it don't come as bits... only complete https://www.grohe.co.uk/en_gb/others-top-plate-with-push-button-42371000.html as there's no separate part numbers for the buttons and panel! You could call the Grohe Service number (Grohe+ if a registered pro) and ask but I suspect the answer will...

    Question re Yale keys

    You won't know if you don't try. Use a soft graphite pencil on the key if you don't want to get graphite powder (but that has other uses - e.g. on padlocks). Also try the angled attack Mottie mentioned.

    Question re Yale keys

    Agreed. I have just been to one of ours... I do just that without thinking (mebbe only 30 degrees though ;) ) Always on the right hand side, against the fixed part for what that's worth.

    Air con question: does R290 expand?

    AIUI, your Daikin may use a heater to keep the lubricating oil in the crank warm in the colder weather not for the refrigerant gas to protect the bearings from wear caused by oil dilution by the refrigerant. Google the issue of phantom load and ASHPs...

    Question re Yale keys

    Ask Yale or a professional locksmiths... but I see no real reason why not. (Nor do I think it will help. personally). We have the same keys and it's still 'strange' to have the key horizontal to insert it. Just as with other eurocylinders one has to insert the key 'upside down' cf the old...

    Kilvey Hill uses 21, 24, 27 (HD), 25, 22 & 28 (plus 34 Local). So gain for 21 to 28 are the only really relevant ones here. Yours is 6dB-/+0.5dB vs 9.5 to 12.7 --- so only 4db at 21 and 6.2 dB at 30. Wolfbane data was 79dBuV/m clear line of sight and 'set top aerial' on your AVForums thread...

    What make/model of TV? Someone may know how to find the meter? If only one PVR-TV in use why a distribution amp at all? What numbers when amp bypassed with a joiner between antenna and the room outlet/PVR? The Full +17dB gain outlet could also be used, as an experiment at least to feed that...

    Water butt pressure pump?

    That Draper water butt pump will empty a butt or two or three fairly quickly... I still have similar one from my old home where I had butts filled via the downpipes from the bungalow roof. House before that at top of a hill in commuter-land had a dribble from the mains water in summer...

    Converting bath shower to rain/drench? shower

    You can get kits to connect in place of the existing hose... e.g. https://www.toolstation.com/ebb-flo-round-diverter-shower-kit/p68885 even people like Hansgrohe make the same type of kits at higher price points...

    Nasty wideband aerial... low gain for group A frequencies .. all widebands are the same except log periodics. That's also a relatively small "high gain" antenna. 13dBisotropic = 10dBdipole approx at it's peak. Your aerial will only have around 6dB gain at group A frequencies, the same as a...

    Take aerial in and use a joiner to feed the aerial to your chosen receiver temporarily. https://www.toolstation.com/proception-inline-coupler/p97650 shows what they look like. What aerial is it? Where is it (outdoors, loft space, in the room)? Do you have any reception issues? To me, those...

    Kilvey Hill transmitter in Swansea I presume. Vertical cross roads on the horizontal boom arm. What receiver? (Not all signal strength meters are created equal). Ch 34 is the Local TV mux with a much more robust QPSK at 100 Watts. The others are all 2kW erp. Ch27 is the HD multiplex. If...

    Aux?

    No it's specific to the EQ circuitry. No way to select it as an input. Anyway the iPhone headphone level out would be too high and distort the microphone circuit, so would sound awful...

    Easicom 28

    Easicom appears to come in Combi and System boiler form from a quick search on Glow Worm's website. Do you have a hot water tank? Is it an open vented system? Could the HW tank be expanding and overflowing into the cold water feed tank that feeds the toilet flush cisterns and most cold taps...

    Boiler size for wet underfloor heating

    You really don't want to run a COP of 1 direct immersion heater for UFH... Not unless you have Loads a Money. Heat pumps should give a COP of 3-4 on a good day... 8 kW out for 2 kW in (4) or 2.67 kW (3). A bit more on very cold days. You do need to get pro heat loss calcs done to be syre...

    Intelligent Speed Assistance

    My 19 plate Ford Galaxy has this already, I believe. It can even be set to on/off depending on the keyfob used. Salesman told us that the elderly garage owner's Ford had it set on for his fob as he had too many speeding points! and his daughter has to hide the other, unrestricted, fob from...
