I really appreciate people taking the time to answer my question but there’s a couple of specific issues here. Sure water pressure fluctuates but 0.4 difference five minutes after the street reading? I’d appreciate comments on how that is possible. Also I’m fully aware of what’s required for a...

The kitchen tap is a 4 in 1 (including boiling water) and the minimum pressure is 1.5. Thing is the plumber measured pressure as 0.7 before it even gets to the tap. I expected flow rate to be affected by the 4 in 1 but no way can I expect anything decent if water entering it is only at 0.7bars...

I’m not sure what comes into the house but where it comes up through the floor it’s copper. The junction to the garden tap is copper but smaller diameter. (I didn’t get what you meant by ‘toby’ - road?) Even so the 0.7 reading right above the junction to the garden is weird. In your...

We had a kitchen renovation and I noticed the flow of the kitchen tap was very low. I understand that flow and pressure aren't the same thing but we the kitchen tap flow is 3L per minute so pressure is a likely issue. The plumber measured the pressure at 0.7 bars - measured at the point about...

We’ve just had this installed. The pressure of hot and cold water ( not the boiling) is lower than previously and lower than from other taps in the house. Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks Bernard - so 90 degrees seems ok. Does the fact that its cat 7 make any difference? As I understand it a bend radius of 1 inch means its coming back on itself which it definitely wouldnt do.

When we're using wifi for skype/zoom meetings from my spare room/office the screen freezes, signal drops etc and we've been advised to get an ethernet connection. So I'm planning to run an ethernet cable from my virginmedia superhub to the spare room. To do this I'll have to go through the wall...

wgt52 thanks for the suggestion. I don't think it's an issue with next door in my sons room. He's in the loft and they don't have one. Also the mesh thing is a bit expensive. Is it possible to do what I suggested - stick a router on the end of the ehthernet and have that produce a wifi signal...

Thanks wgt52 but this is a splitter like the one I mentioned above. I need something to produce a wifi signal - can this do it?

Thanks for your help so far everyone. Yes I want to avoid powerline adapters - I've heard lots of bad reports. My broadband is with virginmedia I have their hub 3.0. This is next to the entry point to the house. Then ethernet cat 7 to splitter (tplink) which is 3m away. Two ethernet cat7s from...

Hi - I'm not too tech aware so would be grateful for any advice on this.....I have a computer in my living room connected by ethernet to the router. On the first floor I have another computer in the spare room - connected via wifi. In the loft - just above the spare room - is my son's room...

Is that the reason it's overheating? Is that a common thing?

oops....er...yes!

Thanks for this - yes I can do it myself just a bit annoyed at having to do it again. As for the support and the manufacturer's testing the fact that it's gone in exactly the same way suggests it's not a support fault as this wasn't mentioned by the Bosch technician originally. Just wondered if...

I bought a Bosch built in oven in 2007. Three years ago it "blew" - I'd noticed that prior to this, one end of the grill element was gradually twisting downwards from the ceiling of the oven. Got an electrician in to replace the element, which cost about £150 all told - but when I saw him...
