Thanks yeah spades. CBB60 made more sense in my mind just getting a sanity check Thanks :)

Hi, Im just looking to repair my Kenwood KDW60X13 capacitor which I'm hoping is why its only filling up with water and not starting. What I see inside is a CBB65D capacitor 5u 5% 450V. Not being able to find the exact match (CBB65D) I see CBB65 (metal) and CBB60 (pvc) mine looks/feels like pvc...

I HAVE FIXED IT !! Many thanks for all the effort above it is most appreciated. After testing for live wires and confirming the live wires I was sure that it should be working so I took a risk on a new actuator It was the Actuator. The returning action from manual selecting confused me but that...

Okay here's the Wiring Center :) Though its same effect no starting the CH (could the valve be gone?, though it does close if i manually enable and switch off) 6 - Brown (from tank thermostat) 6 - Yellow (HW ON) 9 - Blue (from tank thermostat) 9 - Grey (Y valve) 9 - BLUE (HW OFF) 10 - Orange...

So I've traced 1 HW OFF(blue for some reason) and 4 CH ON (red) and put them in with white (Is that what you mean else red is on its own). Same effect HW works CH doesn't turn on (obvious set target higher and hive says heating) The blue came from the other blue and grey in 9 on the panel ----...

Of course thanks to all commenting (and even taking a look and not commenting) it is very much appreciated was gonna do it at the end but as we go is prob the way. Sorry if I sounded rude Two wires(of three cores + ground) going in to the big box from downstairs once the thermostat removed (7 I...

So there's three full wires coming in from the back, one is from the thermostat which I've removed (the ones taped up at the bottom. I did multimeter to check it from there) leaving earth in as it will be a pain to remove. The other two are from the boiler (controller) and I've moved that red...

Yeah there is three wires in slot 9 (I haven't changed this) two blues and one grey. One blue from what I assume is the pump and one blue from somewhere else (controller maybe)

Just as an update this is the current setup. If I manually enable the three way switch the heating starts so something isn't activating the switch, if I turn off CH and turn on HW the switch resets fine but obs not back to CH again. I've removed the thermostat wires and moved the remaining wire...

I've got the hot water working but not the heating it goes solid green but doesn't start heating. I've set it to 32C so it should be starting up. I've located the wires from the thermostat (using a multimeter) after removing red and yellow from the thermostat from the main box. I've...

Thats what I was thinking with the length, as for doing them widthways would I just put a batten (obviously a big one) to the wall and have the wood rest on that (I'd have to hide the rest then) or would i really need to build some walling. Yeah if they had done it widthways it would have been...

I'd like to ideally plasterboard out my roof (and some other bits) of my garage to make it more pretty and make it a bit more multipurpose (thinking of turning it into a games room). However I dont know if the timber beams are going to be strong enough? There is 5 of them with a length of...

Currently i have a electric fire in the living room, the living room backs onto the garage which has a pitched roof. How much would it cost roughly to install the flue for a gas fire. (The living room already has a gas standpipe so I think it would only be the gas fires cost and bit extra for...
