Thank you - I will remove the screws and have a look to see what is behind them and then do as you suggest.

Can anyone tell me how to remove this type of toilet seat - it is top fixed as there is no access under the pan. The plastic "screws" on the side are removable but I still can't get the seat off.....has anyone got the same seat or know how to remove it? Many thanks!

Just an update - the problem was indeed the cooker. In the end I replaced the cooker and no further tripping problems!

Thank you all so much for your advice - much appreciated. I will post how I get on (and whether the cooker wires need insulating) once my electrician has had a look on Saturday...

Thank you - the kettle is plugged in to a socket away from the cooker. The kettle alone doesn't trip it. Any ideas why the 'cooker' circuit switch doesn't trip on the consumer unit but the blue one on it does - when it trips everything goes off downstairs rather than just in the kitchen.

I would be grateful for any advice on the following problem... I had the cooker on, then put the kettle on and the RCD tripped. It has just started happening, intermittently. It causes the switch to trip that is marked CPR80 and not the individual switch for the cooker which is marked CPB32...

Thanks for replying - I will check the pin (if I can get the thermostat valve head off!) and then shall I try bleeding the radiator - could it be air in the pipe? The plumber who did the power flush is on holiday so I cant get it sorted for a couple of weeks, hence I am willing to have a try...

I had hoped that the engineer would have tested the system after the power flush! The Honeywell thermostatic valve seems to be no different to any of the others on the other radiators apart from the fact that when you turn it to about number 4 you then press a green button to allow it to...

I had my central heating system power flushed 2 months ago. I have just switched on the central heating for the first time since and I have one radiator that will not heat up at all. The pipes don't even get hot. It has a thermostat valve on it - an "eco" one with a green button. Not sure if...

Sadly the mystery will never be resolved because I didn't get to go back and take a photo of the "Adelphi" boiler as someone put a better offer in on the house and it got accepted! Anyway I have now found and had an offer accepted on another house which I am very pleased to say has what...

Thank you Mickyg and Boilerman2 for replying. I am fairly sure the branding on the boiler was Adelphi rather than Alpha but I will be going back for another viewing on Saturday and I will take a photo and post it here!

I have found that people I have used from the Checkatrade site pretty much always show up for quotes, but I might just be lucky. I have also found that recommendations from estate agents lettings' departments for tradesmen have been good.

Has anyone ever come across a make/name of boiler called "Adelphi"? I am house hunting and due to a very bad problem over a Halstead boiler some years ago I have learnt to check the make of boiler carefully - I have seen a lovely house but in the kitchen is a boiler marked "Adelphi. I have...

The boyfriend has found a blown internal fuse in the boiler...so that seems to be the problem!

Hi Spark Yes, my boyfriend has checked the RCD but the RCD had not tripped. He replaced the fuse in the spur unit / switch which had blown. Any thoughts? Do you think maybe the boiler itself could have been damaged? Thanks so much!!
