Howdy, How can i work out what size storage heater i would need for a room? Also, i am hoping to use one to supplement the 2 rads in there as have found it can get colder in that room quicker than in other rooms in winter. As its a room we plan to use more often i would like to sort the...

Cheers, just asking as a mate of mine said he'd heard you should never lay over existing as it'll never take. I'll try it as you say if you think it'll work, thanks, Gav.

Hi all, Recently had an extension and lawn has taken a battering. Will i get away with a deep scarify, then rake over a bit of top soil to level the uneven parts, and then lay new turf over the existing. The existing is overall, very patchy/muddy. Would appreciate your wisdom/advice...

Ok, thats good. Boiler in utility downstairs, pump in airing cupboard with a wiring centre for it and valves etc. What am i looking for??

Bypass is SBV 33, and white thread indicator is at the 0.1 bar mark on the red sleeve. That ok?

I.ll check bypass details after as in work. Say stat temp I want is 20°c, and Its at 19.5, if it goes over to 20 as boiler is about to fire (but not firing) the stat clicks off, valves close and boiler goes to lockout? It seems to happen quite often where stat can go up half a degree while...

New style PCB and yes it has already been replaced!! What do you mean how is bypass set?? Shall i post pics after??

I do not turn down stat, i mean when the desired stat temp is reached. It is not me turning the thing down, it is when the stat temp is reached as the boiler is about to fire. When boiler temp satisfied, no problem, when boiler running no problem, when boiler about to run and stat clicks off...

D Hailsham, Its a sunvic tlx 6501, valves also sunvic (2x 2 port valves). Agile, there is a bypass valve fitted, how do i check if pump connected to boiler? its a suprima 50L.

Howdy, I have never had any problems with the old dial type stat but have changed it this winter for a wired programmable type. Since then, on occassion the boiler has gone to lockout and i have had to reset. Anyway, i watched it the other day and the following seems to be happening which...

English mate, and proud of it!

Ha, if i set PIR timer to an hour, that should suffic. or i'll nod off, not for the first time!! Cheers,

Doh, sorry, it's a light switch!

Hi all, Have one of those pull cord switches in main bathroom, i don't like em with kids about. It's a new house. I know i could shorten it but i'd rather explore another avenue. I don't know why swicth ain't outside room on wall like en-suite. Anyway, can i simply replace this pull cord...

Hi, I realise this is an old thread but i'll post a reply in case its still active. I've owned several alfas, my dad also. As long as you look after em, source them well if buying used etc then they're just like any other car. Great cars if you like driving, cars etc. If you just want to...
