I had a pressure gauge fail on a Worcester Bosch 30i gas boiler. The boiler is 7 years old and out of warranty so I didn’t have an issue paying for a replacement part and the fitting. I had the boiler serviced at the same time. All was well for a week then the replacement, WB OEM, gauge has...

I removed the gauge from its clip on fascia and pointed it into a water jug. After a day then gauge dumped another 700ml of liquid into the jug and no other water anywhere. I got an excellent boiler engineer who replaced the gauge and did a service and full check on the boiler. He said the...

I took the front cover off the boiler and saw the pressure gauge was attached via a semi-rigid pipe to some"vessel" towards the back of the boiler - I'm guessing that's where the "pressure" is taken from. I hadn't previously noticed a jug under the boiler contained about 300 ml of clearish...

Combi Boiler is Worcester Bosch Green star 30i about 5 years old, serviced 12 months ago. I noticed the pressure gauge on boiler was almost completely obscured with condensation. Only noticed yesterday (yesterday) I have been putting the heating constantly through the day on this past week as...

I have an external power socket in an IP65 (?) box. This is supplied from an internal fused switch to cut power to the socket - that I often forget to switch off. Just because I can ( or might be able to) can I add some kind of "inline" smart switch, controlled by Bluetooth or WiFi, so I leave...

(see attached images) I attached a pair of wires from a Cat5e cable to the "push down" connector at the back of the front plate of the BT master socket type 5c, MK4. At the remote RJ11 socket I connected, using a punch tool, the same pair of wires to pins 3 and 4. I had to do this twice, using...

I have ordered from Screwfix the RJ11 module (the Knightsbridge one I think) to replace the RJ45 socket at the remote end. I always get bad results when I tinker with things, such as BT wiring, in an "unconventional" ways. I want to touch as little of what works as possible. I will take photos...

Would something like the following be what I need at the remote end? If yes, do I use "crimping points" 3 and 4 at the remote faceplate for the two data wires from the BT master socket AB? https://www.screwfix.com/p/knightsbridge-modular-rj11-telephone-data-socket-white/464YA or this...

(Apologies if some of the terminology is incorrect in this post – please correct as necessary). In my house I have the ADSL (?) EE router connected to the BT Master Socket 5C, mk4 near the front of the house. The router connects to the master socket via an RJ11 plug on the data side. The phone...
