Thanks Guys really appreciate your help I've ordered the screws from SFX and I'll give it a go when i eventually get a bit of flooring down, getting the old stuff up is proving s lot more difficult than i thought it might be. Found a good price/supplier for 80mm Celotex which has been...

Thought I'd continue here to chronicle the work and keep it all neat and tidy. I did search in the archives but couldn't quite get what i needed. A nice simple question (aren't they all ). I have to fix the new ply floor directly to the steel beams of the chassis, about 3 in total. What screws...

Hi 'Mr Chibs' thanks for the reply. I dont have any photos currently but as work progresses ill post some. I had the same thoughts as yourself ill fit Celotex fitted between the joists and lay the ply directly over. If i tape it off and use the foam from above ie. when the floors off, i assume...

Hi, ive just retired to an old caravan in need of a major refurb. The first job i have is to renew the rotted chipboard flooring at the back end (about 4x5 sq/m) The under insulation currently is mineral with an outer poly covering (underneath) but ive no further details until i start ripping...

Thanks Dangee, I’ll check that out.

Hi, I have a Gledhill 2000 Heatstore. The hot water intermittently runs hot and cold. 1st port of call and the pump’s ‘humming’ when being called for. Found the pump free when checked at the spindle. Reading up some have suggested the dhw sensor but I wondered if that is likely considering the...

Hi Egga, what silicone did you use. I tend not to get too involved with it for heavy fixing. Im guessing that a Dow Corning sealant is not what we're talking about here? When you say you mounted it on a plywood base was that prior to fixing to the floor. I have covered the floor in marine ply as...

Yeah cheers Egga. And im with you re resin trays. I half figured that silicone's gonna be the only option but ive never come across this and youre exactly right, the s&c doesnt key to the plastic. Tbh when you sit down in hindsight and think about it, it never will. Been in this game for eons...

Hi Guys I recently fitted a low profile shower tray. Its plastic, which i've always steered clear of but because it was low profile, 40mm, I figured that it shouldn't flex. It was bedded on s&c 5:1, tapped down, levelled and left to set. All fine so far. However I tested it to check the...

Cheers Agile It does sound as if the tappets are 'missing' so I was leaning towards the clock (so was my wallet) but you know how these things escalate and none of us can afford to throw money away. I got a quote of about £50 from my lpm but they reckon they're as rare as hens teeth and I...

Hi Guys, been awhile, I have checked some of the links but cant get a definative answer, if one exists, so please excuse a possibly un-inspiring thread. I have a Plus 824e with a mech timeclock which periodically comes on when it shouldn't, doesn't when it should. As its an analogue is it...

Thanks Woton. Didn't see that one Regards Steve

Had a quick look and this seems to be the place to be totally random in its listings so's here's mine. Anyone know how to show the progres of the disk defragmanter in Windows Vista. There, how about that for off the wall. I'll admit that i cant be a**ed to go on a dedicated forum so thought...

Sorry Delta i've just read my 1st post. When i said it wasn't an option i meant on this particular instal :oops: . Trevi do recommend a ded supply but give the option Steve

Yeah it's recommended but then again it is best practise. 22mm Hot and 15mm Mains. But in the Mi's i downloaded it shows the hot supply as at least being the 1st draw off which is pretty much my only option given the site conditions. I'd prefer a dedicated supply but that's why i asked the...
