Many thanks terryplumb for pointing me in the right direction. Yesterday evening, I Finally got round to checking the expansion vessel, which had no air whatsoever. After isolating then emptying the CH of the boiler (around 7.6 litres came out, the majority of which I guess would have been in...

Hi everyone. This summer, I fixed a leak on a towel rad and had to re-charge the CH system. A couple of days after this, the boiler lost pressure and generated fault code f22. I also noticed water on the floor below the boiler and found a drip forming on the PRV pipework just below the boiler...

Thanks again for all your input guys. As for the application, the water level of a sump in the cellar rose to floor level only once (after seriously heavy rain) in several years, which prompted me to buy the pump in the first place. As there isn't a constant necessity to protect (cue the next...

Many thanks for your replies 'SFK' & 'just pumps'. Given I don't have a replacement, I did replace the original capacitor as I thought the load test with the light bulb staying on suggested it was OK (or am I barking up the wrong tree ... ?). One thing I didn't mention was that there had been...

I have a SIP submersible pump, SUB 2012-FS that has ceased to pump. The water level had risen with the float switch closing, but the pump just buzzed and didn't pump. I removed the pump, checked the impeller was free to move and there was no debris present. I put the pump back and it ran but...

Hi to everyone. My ZWF14581W recently stopped working. After entering the test facility, error E9F was displayed. Subsequent searches says the Zanussi service manual lists this as a communication problem - "Wiring between PCB and Inverter faulty; PCB faulty; Inverter faulty." I visually...

Thanks for your reply foxhole. Further rooting around the internet brought up this site:- http://doubleglazingsecrets.com/html/profiles.html, which has filled in many of the blanks.

I’m just in the process of inviting double glazing providers round to my 82 year old Mum’s house in South Yorkshire and am preparing a spreadsheet to help Mum compare like for like quotes. Not being a builder/joiner/window supplier, I’ve no doubt my spreadsheet’s lacking pertinent info’ which...

The finished result is proportional to the time spent on it.

Many thanks for the replies to date. Have to say it would be a shame to replace the whole lot due to a relatively small dodgy section. Replacing it wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't in the middle of physio for 'bulging tissue' in one of my discs, hence the need for a speedy straight-forward...

Last year I repaired a sizeable hole plus other minor repairs on my original wooden guttering using Wickes products - Wet Rot Wood Hardener & Exterior (super tough) Wood Filler, following the instructions implicitly - removing all rotten wood back to a solid base, treating with the hardener &...

Thanks for the link WoodYouLike. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the replies foxhole & ladylola. If I’d known the trouble I was going to have, I might have considered lifting the boards; unfortunately, the underside of quite a few of the boards have been damaged by shoddy central heating fitters (smashing the tongue & grooves out :shock...

Good afternoon all. As I'm going to sand, stain & varnish the whole of the first floor, I'm looking for a filler that remains flexible enough for this particular application. Back in 2005, I filled the gaps in the kitchen floor with a powder filler that was added to water. This began to...

Good morning all. I've added SAT1/SAT2/TV/DAB\FM screened socket outlets around the house and have recently decided to run cables for audio speakers. I was thinking of mounting pairs of phono sockets in the corners of the outlet plates, running the speaker cables down the conduit that the...
