    Bosch Dishwasher SMV50C00GB/34

    Seems Bosch has a 3 hour 'off at the mains' reset for the dishwasher (as it does for washing machines)

    Bosch Dishwasher SMV50C00GB/34

    Help please. Red tap icon flashing, would appear the machine as overflowed and is trying to empty itself. Machine has emptied but we can't do anything with it other than switch off at the wall.

    Boiler Rads vs HW priority

    Probably been asked a thousand times before, but.... I have a Worcester Combi boiler and have noticed a quirk - not sure if this is normal (having read a few posts on here it would seem to be OK, but just wanted to check. Came into a cold house, increased temp wireless control unit to trigger...

    Back to brick, about 1 square meter - best way to fill?

    Hi. I had a damp patch on the inside of an external wal. The patch was behind wallpaper, I've peeled that off. I've knocked all the blown plaster and powdery render off right back to the brickwork. The patch is above the skirting board by about a foot and the surrounding plaster/render...

    Moving water tanks for additional bathroom

    Hi I'm working on updating my old 1900's mid terrace. Currently bathroom is downstairs at rear of property (water and sewage are serviced at rear of property). I am planning to convert the small back bedroom upstairs into a bathroom. Boiler is a Potterton Ultra2 pressure heating gravity...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    New RCU in - and no, he didn't try to sell it to me, I asked for it and will get a BR Cert for the installaton. New RCU not tripping when shower running (he tested it, tingling still happening) Earth wire is now connected to rising main, looped around to gas pipe and connected to CU where...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    As far as I understand this Earth is needed because right now no pipework at all is earthed. So brand new earthing is going to be put in from main and tied back to CU. The tingling, from my limited understanding, is because of the different potentials with me in the shower standing on the...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    CU does not conform to current regs and it only has 4 fuses so given I will be making alterations to house I need a new one. The water main/entry/stop tap are in the kitchen which is directly adjacent to the downstairs bathroom. In the absence of a floor plan, imagine a 1900's mid terrace...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    This morning I used the bath. I did ask in a previous post if anyone knew of a certified electrician in the SG3 area - no-one came forward. I've been on to Building Regs (WelHat council) and they told me that one electrician cannot certify someone elses work - so get the original plumber...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    thanks, I'll have a proper go at this and report any findings. Meanwhile.... Electricity seeks the fastest way to earth, right? - and that is via me when in the water stream and standing in a pool of water in the bath. While in that situation, I took the multimeter in the shower and...

    Power Shower, tingling (current?) in pipes.

    Hi, He has not been to fix it yet!!!! (an that has prompted me to text him again) I am using the shower (I know I am playing russian roulette but the tingling is less if I am not in the full jets!) I got my multimeter out (and of course I have no idea how to use it...) but the only...
