Thanks I should have mentioned I’ve cleaned this previously without any noticeable improvement

My pressure washer has a fault where it won’t start on the trigger reliably. It was repaired under warranty some time ago but I don’t know what was replaced at the time. Can anyone advise what the likely required part is please?

Just trying to work this out, do you mean sleeve the 14 with a piece of 16 then the other side slip the 15 over that?

Is there such a thing as a 15 >14mm copper reducer for French plumbing fittings?

No it’s copper. The issue is the stat is exceptionally slow to respond to the change in water temperature, by which time the humidistat on the fan has kicked in.

Thanks all I’m going to try and use a flow switch in line to the shower head as I only want the fan to boost when the shower is being used, otherwise I like a nice peaceful bath. Anything else I haven’t mentioned? Probably, but not relevant to my preferred solution!

Because I don’t want to be in the bath with a typhoon style fan running!

The pipe to the shower head. The issue is the cheap pipe stat I think

Thanks all, the fan does run all the time in passive mode, I want an immediate purge when the shower is on as the ceiling is low and the room relatively small

It currently has a humidity sensor inbuilt but it’s slow to react. Would a liquid sensing pipe thermostat be any better? Drayton stat seems a bit better possibly?

Is there a decent sensitive narrow temperature range pipe stat I can use to use as a switched override for a bathroom fan when the shower is turned on? I’ve currently got the flomasta cylinder / pipe stat in place but the water temperature is too low and the measuring type on the stat not...

Having a bit of difficulty in getting this to work! I have a uh4 heatmiser and a vaillant vr71 Currently ls and lr from the heatmiser are wired to s7 on the vr71 as per instruction from vaillant technical and s6 is bridged. Demand from the ufh system does not cause the boiler to fire...

Yes that’s the one!

I’ve given it a good run (my grass is basically a meadow as the machine has been out of action) and the pto belt hasn’t slipped off once so I’m confident it’s resolved. Off to change the transmission fan next as the belt had snapped all the blades off!

Just coming back to this to share what I hope is the resolution. The four bolts that mount the engine to the frame. One was missing altogether one was missing a nut and had vibrated against the frame causing the hole to elongate and the bolt to bend and the remaining two on the other side were...
