Hi Chris, yes I did. I uploaded circuit diagrams to the urbanplumbers yt channel. Basically you use a combination of OT for CH and SL2 live overrides for 80degree DHW. No connection on SL1. All working great apart from short cycling on CH when room set temperature is reached because boiler...

Sure, here is the inside. I've only flipped the washer as not sure I had one the right size.

Mission accomplished. Getting the descale treatment. Old fashioned washer type. Thanks again.

Thank you - I learned another new word 'indice'. I went round a few of the other taps to try to see if one was loose and yes the 'indie' unscrews. Have the handle off now, I guess it will be grips and protection to unscrew the other bit?

Hi, Please can someone help with how I dismantle this tap to replace washer. I've tried gentle prying of the end cap and it hasn't budged and there are no flats on the bit that I presume covers the tap part. Don't want to go in heavy handed. Thanks.

Hi, it looks like the Ideal 7 day wireless stat is compatible with your boiler. Here are the install manual - https://idealheating.com/uploads/documents/RF_Electronic_Programmable_Room_Thermostat_Installation_Guide.pdf This might be the neatest / simplest solution. Your boiler supports...

Hi Phil, I'm not sure if you ever found a solution to your problem but I found your thread when searching for Ideal System boilers that have separate control for CH and DHW. Most / all the Ideal boilers have an SL1 and SL2, but if you look at the wiring diagrams (not sure if accurate) some just...

Hi, Thanks for your reply Ronnie, but your link went to door handles. Regardless I think I've cracked it - they look like Yale EDSE12 to me :) https://www.trulypvc.com/window-door-parts/window-parts/friction-hinges/yale-defender-egress-friction-hinge Fingers crossed.

Hi, I've some broken window hinges that need replacing. To simplify the process I'd ideally like to change like for like, so fixing holes are in the same place (measured from the edge on the frame side they are at 36mm, 134mm and 305mm). Windows will be approx 11 years old new at construction...

Thanks for help. I tried the bent clip method but it wasn’t going to work. Have brute forced the lock with screwdriver and got the barrel out and managed to release lock. Handle is off.

Hi, thanks for that. He has made an updated video to cover two different types of lock. Mine is the square sprung block type in the base of the lock. I’ve had a quick tinker but not managed it yet. I’ll persevere some more tomorrow.

Yes I know, I already have the replacement handles, that match the ones on the new windows just fitted. This is on old window, on one the handle was not locked (the one in the photo), the other one is locked. The least disruptive way of getting it off will be to have the. Hence why I’d like to...

Hi, Sorry another I don't have the window lock keys questions. Can someone please identify the lock / key needed for this one. Thank you.

Hi old buffer, thanks for your reply. The photo / my description may not have been clear enough. The spout does not swivel on the nylon part you can see exposed. The grub screw fixes it to this part. The swivel is occurring with the nylon part in the bottom housing / mounting part. It is that...

Hi I fitted a GRIFEMA G4008 mixer tap in kitchen approx 3 years ago. For some time it has been difficult to turn the outlet and the whole tap starts moving. I'd like to strip the fitting down so I can clean and re grease / PJ to free it up. I'm hoping for some help on how it will come apart to...
