Thanks for the info guys.

You know....that's so obvious it's scary. Cheers.

I'm wanting to put a new handrail up our stairs. Most of the handrail brackets I've looked at only take 6g screws, which I don't rate much. In our last house, I cut some circles of timber and shaped them with a router and fixed those securely to the wall and fit the brackets to them...

Sorry I haven't thanked anyone for their recent posts, PC has been on the blink. As far as I know things remain the same but apparently the " two port motorised valve" is in fact a " three port motorised valve". Don't know which book he's been reading, or if this affects the way things should...

Matey-boy has replaced duff programmer and it is working(as you would expect). However the pump comes on when hot water only is selected. Before he decides to call some one in is this necessarily a problem?

Thanks for replies. He's going to try and exchange it today and fit it with the link removed. If this one goes kaput he reckons it will be time to call someone.

This is for a mate of mine. Two months ago he replaced his existing kaput programmer with a Horstmann Centaurplus C21. This is also now kaput. He was going to return it tomorrow but we've been having a read of the instructions. There is a link at the back of the C21 which should be left in place...

??????? It's fine to use grout????? or it should be frame sealant??????

When wall tiles butt up to floors, door frames and ceilings is it o.k. to grout those joints or should they be finished with a flexible frame sealant or similar product? Cheers

oooops. It's a borrowed meter with no instructions. Other settings are 2M, 20k and 2k. I'll try it on the 2k should I? Thanks for perservering with me.

Meter set on 200k. Mains cable to pump removed and test leads inserted into pump connections. The readings fluctuated a bit, sometimes a positive value, sometimes a minus but nowhere near the required 120-200, I settled on the '0' as a term of reference. I tested several times to make sure I...

breezer....The readings were '0' on the meter. ChrisR and Agile....Surely the pipes are already full of water and therefore the pump isn't dry or have I missed something. ( I have a sneaky feeling that you may say "yes").

Parents boiler wasn't firing. ( I know who wants the heating on in this weather!). Pump appeared to be not working. I done some searches on here and carried out a test on it with a digital multimeter. I understand I should have had a reading of 120 to 200 ohms . Nothing like so I pronounced the...

Thanks for the replies.

What about blue hawk board primer. Is this any good? Will it do the same job as the BAL stuff. It's only a pipe box not a full wall.
