Hi My doors have the hinges shown on the below link (3rd image down on the webpage) They seem to have a little piece of metal that you can remove / reinsert to adjust but don't have instructions so do not want to guess and you can also buy a crank tool...

Hi Matt Thanks for your post. The manifold was replaced prior to change in piping and the engineer said it contained a NRV. Is a NRV small? I tested holding the cold in, and my wife turned cold tap on in the kitchen and the cold in when mega hot - unbearable. Would this indicate a duff...

Prior to the modification the cold out pipe was getting very hot and I think the cold in was slightly warm. It is not something I can definitely recall checking the temperature of. Since the modification the cold in is slightly warm but no where near as hot as the manifold which is too hot...

Thanks Picasso. I did not see the NRV in the manifold, is there a definitive test without having to remove the manifold? Bit of a non diy'er. Would that involve removing the mixer shower and fitting blanking plates? Then see if that fixes the problem and if not try the kitchen tap...

Hi Sorry for long delay since your reply. Just back from holiday. British Gas replaced the manifold which has a non return valve at the bottom of it where the cold comes in and also the mixer was replaced. After doing this we still get hot water coming through the cold. So then Ideal...

Just moved house which has an ideal istor boiler. We had the same boiler in out last home and have a british gas homecare agreement as we knew it would be problematic. We have found that when the hot water was being heated the radiators were hot and that after the hot water had been heated...

Back from hol this morning and just got it working after a couple of hours. Above the cooker hood was some trunking - removed the trunking and found a wall socket with a plug from the cooker hood - changed the fuse in the plug and it fixed it. Althougth this sounds simple it took ages as...

Hi, Have an electrolux efi 635 g/gb cooker hood. Turned it on tonight and the light bulb blew. Removed the bulb and neither the other light or fan works. The last time the bulb blew the other light and fan would work. I suspect a fuse has blow but nothing is wrong at main electric board...
