Answered my own post !

I did not change anything for what had been discussed prior to his departure, I was merely double checking specs having miss read the instructions with the cooker. Thanks for your concern though.

Thanks I have a length of 10mm left from fitting a power shower a few years ago so I figured us that and then as you say who knows what the future will hold but I should be able to power it!

Thanks very much for pointing out the obvious! I will continue with the 10mm cable as per our original discussion and look forward to lighting the local football pitch with the 40kW lighting!

Thanks very much for all your prompt input. Full details of the range can be found here http://www.stoves.co.uk/products/cooking/range-cookers/richmond-900ei/444441648/factsheet/ I am guessing it might be a typo on the sheet and as suggested its actually meant to say 4.0kW rather than 40!

I am in the process of ripping out the kitchen and as part of the re-working a new Stoves Electric Induction Range cooker is being fitted. I have a sparky (currently on holiday until 17th) coming in to do the wiring when we get to that stage however when re-lining the walls etc I was going run...

It's a solid fuel set up I put in. All works well with the vented system, nice and safe so don't really want to change. I will get the tape out tomorrow night and start looking at the coffin tank option as well. Thinking also about swapping the leak off radiator for a heat dump exchanger plate...

Glad I asked I was hoping I didn't have to raise the whole storage tank set up and could use a smaller additional tank for the hot water side only......... Space is going to be tight in the loft with the big tank having to be raised is their a minimum head?

I am looking at reworking our kitchen and ideally I would like to move the vented hot water cylinder out the cupboard and into our loft. This would have two benefits the cupboard wall can be knocked out and the space utilised for kitchen storage which we are short of. Obviously being a vented...

Oh yeah one way valve operates correctly, just to rule that out!

Garage failed it for vacuum issue as with pedal pumped hard before starting after there is no noticeable assistance. Having done the same with my primitive test pipe in this position air simply free flows through servo, vacuum can never be established. So is it therefore a faulty servo out the...

Thanks for that. I am starting to think it may be a vac pump issue. I have plumbed up a pipe to let me try testing it be sucking. With pedal at rest I suck until I have a Vacuum and can hold the pressure with my tongue, servo holds vacuum unhindered. Depress pedal,vacuum breaks after a little...

Basic question which has had me scratching my head over the weekend. Defender 300 tdi failed MOT last week due to brake servo failure. Did a couple of tests and confirmed Vac pump pulling air ok. Manually testing servo revealed leak round bolt, guessing failed internal seal. New servo ordered...

Sounds like it could be caused by a DPF starting to clog. Had similar problems with mine recently and DPF was final cause of problem. You can get them cleaned professionally and the EGR valve should be cleaned at the same time. A diagnostic reader should show you a %full for the DPF which wil be...

Thanks guys, I had got the same just last night. Not sure why the immobiliser would cause hesitation though but will try the spare key and see if it makes a difference, problem is getting worse now. I will come back and let you know if there is any difference between keys.
