I have heard good things about Howdens & Ikea funnily enough. Negative reviews for B&Q, Wickes.

Hi I am in the process of looking for a new kitchen & would be very grateful for any advice on where to buy. I have heard different stories about different suppliers. Ie bad reviews about B&Q. Really expensive fitting etc. Also would you suggest a local fitter or go with Ikea, B&q...

Hi again my friend ! When youi wrote : disconnect water supply 3 wires L, E, N Is L,E,N the order in which they are in the shower ? Thanks !

Is that behind the attached sticker thing ?

I will give it a go and see what happens. Is the water inlet easy to remove ? Im a bit worried about a leak especially with electrics. Is it on the right ? :roll:

So if I unscrew the 3 screws up the top on the brass plate that will release the 3 wires ? Thanks very much

Hi yesterday my boiler wouldnt work, so not hot water etc plus my electric shower wouldnt produce hot water. I checked the boiler and found the pressure was below 1 bar. I have fixed that problem, boiler working fine now. BUT my Gainsborough 8.5 SCL is not producing hot water just cold. I...

Thanks for your help.

I havent seen it. I rang Gainsborough and ordered a new PRD but I have to wait til that turns up. Can I pop the ball back in then ? It may well be down the plug hole now or could it still be in there just loose ?
