Seriously, is that it???

I've never really used a jigsaw much - I had a (very) old and cheap Bosch mains powered one which was pretty awful. But for a new project I wanted a new jigsaw so got a Makita DJV182 to go with the rest of my Makita 18V kit. My very simple question is this: What on earth is the wire loop in...

OK after some googling, I think the gate valve is to allow a little water to flow through the boiler when all other paths are shut? Should it be fully open, or half open?

I'll get BG to fix the discharge - I did say I would, and thanks for the advice. The gate valve was already fully open. Should it be? Regards the warranty, seriously the tundish is of course not in any way attached to the tank, so there's no way Gledhill could invalidate a warranty for that...

Bottom left - you can't see it because it's behind the lagged pipework. The relief pipework is the same as on the previous install, it's just the tundish is now a bit lower down, to make it lower than the p&t relief on the new install. On the old tank there were seperate p & t relief valves...

It's definitely air. BG didn't use my installer. BG used their installer - I have never met the bloke nor heard of him before. I am very reluctant (i.e. not going) to get Gledhill out and getting into a row with BG about it. I am unemployed and have bigger fish to fry than this right now...

I haven't spotted anything that the MI's say shouldn't be done. Are you just guessing, or are you thinking of something specific? I agree about the immersion heater, but honestly the waste water pipe work is all pretty trivial to move if needed. The rather bizarre "up and over" cold fill is...

Please can you explain why? The guy who fitted it has worked for BG for 40 years and they reckoned he's the one guy in the area who does the unvented installs. He did my neighbours a few years ago as well, when their tank failed. I think he's the best they've got! Is there anything I should...

Yes, they should. They re-plumbed all the pipework to install the new cylinder, so they at the same time move the AAV, so it was either working fine and they broke it, or it wasn't and should have been replaced at the time. They told me the air in the system would work its way out in a day or...

The cylinder is upstairs but I would say not the highest point since we have vertical rads in the bathrooms which are higher at the top than the hot water inlet and return on the tank. Should the bleed valve be installed so that it is at highest point? And how do I clean it and dry it out...

Thanks - no, haven't called the installer yet. It's BG and I am usually very impressed with whatever random bloke they send out. The only value or vent I can see (other than the pressure and temperature safety valves for the tank itself) is on the left. I think it's where you top the system...

Please can someone offer some advice? I have an unvented hot water and central heading system and a few weeks ago, had the hot water tank replaced. Since then, I get loud knocking and glugging sounds when the pump is running, due to air circulating around the system. However, the symptoms are...

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but my next door neighbour has an Accenta 6 panel with this old keypad and we cannot find a replacement keypad anywhere. If I buy him a new Accenta G4 (and keypad), will it work with his existing detectors, external bell box etc? Can I just swap panels...
