All i can see is something that says honeywell 4600a but i checked the hotwater tank upstairs and the black thermostat thingy wasnt on the tank and must have been knocked off probably by the wife i will blame her anyway i have put that back on and pulled the curtain rail thingy back around it...

I wont try and fix it but because i had a part replaced in february i want to get an idea if its related so as i dont get ripped off if it is that part thats to blame not sure what it is all i know is it was a big alloy block and one of its jobs was igniting the pilot light

its and ideal mexico 40 floor standing boiler had some part replaced last year as the pilot light wouldnt come back on or light should i say

Hi All I have been hanging some doors over the weekend and one has gone a little wrong and wondered what the best way to fix it would be. Basically one of the doors is not level at the top and although there are no gaps in the door frame around the door one end is a few mm higher than the...
