Well for anyone searching in the future it was indeed a leak from the domestic hot water pipe going to the kitchen tap from the boiler. As it was under the floor couldn’t actually see the precise area. Cut both ends and bypassed with new pipe. It seems likely it was the area under a screeded...

Yes I’ve just confirmed if I turn cold feed at boiler back on meter starts turning. cant understand why suddenly spring a leak from a pipe! Nothing has changed. All taps and visible pipework is ok. I guess floor is going to have to come up, I will start with kitchen (boiler in kitchen as well...

Yes. It is creeping round all the time when I had a look yesterday. The little cog is spinning.

I have a Greenstar 25si Worcester. Both the hot water and heating work ok. The problem (just occurred) is I have a continuous running water noise most apparent from the hot water (taps) outlet pipe under the boiler. I eventually traced it to that using long screwdriver to ear. When I shut the...

Yeah I think they're still paired as with the boiler set to 'on' it responds to the set temp of the thermostat. I will play around again with it tomorrow, cheers (and try and find the instructions!)

Hi as title with DT20rf control panel and a wireless thermostat in the hall. We had a power cut and now even though the thermostat is calling for heat, the boiler is not doing anything. I've checked current time, date etc and all settings, everything is normal & correct. The boiler does ignite...

Hi God can't pm you or start a conversation for some reason?

Ok thanks. Want sure if that was allowed. The led light cable is quite thin so should be ok. Cheers!

Hi sorry to go on about this, but does anyone have any suggestions for connecting two different products (their wires) into one outlet? I need one wire to go to the cupboard on the left, (for the led lights) and one wire to go to the extractor fan to the right. Thus two wires to connect to the...

ok thanks. And then from there any suggestion as to how I can make it go two ways? ie one for the cooker hood and one for the lights? Although from what I remember (I'm not there at the moment) it is actually a ring not a spur. ie the ring loops up the wall to that plate and back down and...

Hi A recirculating cooker hood is going to be installed between two wall cabinets in space shown, using the ring extension behind that backplate (it does not come off the oven supply). Originally that was to be its only function, but, I now also want this to supply ikea led worktop lights for...

No, but I though those lamps LED in my original link were ok at lighting up surfaces. A Single pendant bulb doesn't really work, and like the said the ceilings are over 3 metres high. Here's a pic of layout more or less (has worktop over the fridge & freezer where the chair is, as well as over...

Thanks. Can you offer advice as to a more suitable fitting though? The problem is the property has exceedingly high ceilings, and a single pendant is insufficient. The fixture I took down was a large round dish shape with stick either side with lamps on, but looked horrible. It's open plan...

I Want to fit a 1.2m lighting track to my kitchen ceiling. I believe the wire connection is to the end of the fitting. But the ceiling hole I have would be mid-way along the track ie in the wrong place. What is the best / neatest solution to extend the wire to the appropriate location? I don't...

haha no I just like the picture and was looking for something suitably electric as my avatar.
