Hello Everyone, Was hoping for some advice in terms of a potterton boiler that as soon as it has warmed up (after first turning on and running for 12-20minutes) starts to short cycle and fire every 5 minutes or so (for around 1-2minutes) The PCB was replaced a few years back and most recently...

Its obvious that someone got a hold of your password, I'd change it as soon as possible, use Letters numbers and symbols if possible, this should rule out any attacks where people guess your password by trying random combinations. It could be possible that a computer you have used to access...

An offset match is where the right hand edge of the first strip only matches with the left hand edge of the next strip, when the second wallpaper is dropped by a specified distance.

Could be that someone has gotten hold of your password and set up an auto reply, login to hotmail and then click options in the top right corner, and then click more options. This should open a new page, click send automated vacation replies, and make sure this is turned off. If this does not...

Aragon, there are only 8 lamps, and they are split into 2 x 4 parallel lamp runs, still I'm guessing 11.6A isn't particularly good for 2 x 1mm cable. I'll look at getting this swapped out asap, seems the guy who owned this place before me was a bit of a rubbish tinkerer, you wouldn't believe the...

What should I be looking for when trying to buy one of these "splitter units" is there a name for them ?

I have friends in the building trade who swear by this stuff for getting it off : http://www.decoratingdirect.co.uk/viewprod/e/ECOXTEX/ You can always steam it off, but it is a slow and messy job compared to using the product above, there may be other similar products about, I've just heard...

I'd not thought of that Properleckie, I think I may end up going down this route, appears to make the most sense.

They are 35W lamps, sorry for any confusion !! Is there anything wrong with connecting up each lamp individually in a radial style, making sure every cable is the same length, surely this would make any voltage drop equal, admittedly it requires a bit more cable than paralleling.

So are you suggesting individual transformers ? I thought most people hated these things, I know in my old house they seemed to fail pretty frequently ?! To be honest with you I thought the cable was pretty think, what sort of cable to you recommend ?

Hey Guys, Having a few problems with voltage drop in my lounge, I don't have a particularly big lounge, I have 8 x 30W downlighters in there and a few are noticeably dimmer than the rest, I have ruled out old or knackered lamps by replacing them all with the same batch. It appears that...

Lovely cheers for the help, ordered some, will let you guys know how it goes !

That's fair does, I'd be biting his hand off in that case !! Good find !!

Open it up and show us a few pictures of the interior, of the actual circuit board, should be able to see how it works. Might be a relatively easy project, if you invested in a couple of components, depends how the thing is put together and what it comprises of to be honest !!
