I’ve recently replaced one of the lower clips, as it broke during a derailment. It’s only the leading edge roller that’s affected. I was thinking the opposite of your suggestion and was wondering if I could adjust the upper roller assemblies to lift the door and therefore reduce the amount of...

Too old, plus they’re no longer in business, although you can still get some spares.

They seem ok, made sure the grooves are clean.

several years ago we had a Manhattan Quadrant Sphere shower enclosure installed and it has been superb. However, recently the door, when closing, has started to jump off the track, top and bottom. I’ve checked the track rail, and it’s mountings at either end are as tight as I could get them...

I used a vacuum cleaner nozzle on our inlet side and dislodged the trunking. I went into the loft to refit it and was amazed at how much dirt had accumulated on the fan blades. Used a small brush to clean it and its efficiency improved considerably. You could see steam being drawn into the inlet.

We have a Logik HE balanced flue gas fire which has recently become awkward to ignite. If I try to light the pilot, using the prescribed method, nothing happens. However, as I move the lever towards the high flame position, the fire suddenly lights, quite dramatically. The fire was serviced...

No Opentherm, and the heating has been fine, and still is as far as I’m concerned. It was just witnessing this, hopefully, isolated series of events that got me thinking.

we have a Baxi combi 800 boiler, 1.5 yrs old, and I have the heating flow temp set to 65 degrees. Today I just happened to be beside the boiler which had been sitting idle most of the afternoon due to unusual warm weather. I noticed that the water temp indicator displayed 26 degrees, and the...

I have an electric shower which has suddenly stopped heating the water. I have checked everything, that I can, inside the unit and get all the continuity’s and resistances that I would expect. I get 240v when the pull cord isolation switch is on. Obviously, I cannot check the supply on load...

Problem solved. New selector switch delivered and fitted, lovely hot water now. Great outcome, only £43 spent plus massive boost of self satisfaction.

Yes I’ve got 240v. Is there a way to troubleshoot the selector switch. I have ordered one anyway as I can’t find a fault elsewhere. Failing that it’ll be a replacement, but finding one with a similar footprint may be difficult. I’ve noticed the current Mira showers have fixing screws in...

Both elements read 13.8 ohms

I ran it for quite a while this morning but didn’t notice anything untoward, although I wasn’t concentrating. I’ll try again.

we have a Mira Zest 8.5Kw shower which has developed a problem. I can switch the power supply on using a cord pulled switch, turn the shower on but only get cold water regardless of the temperature setting. I have checked the thermal switch and get continuity, and high resistances in the heating...

I took the battery out last night and the temperature dropped to warm. I’m going to get a new battery today.
