    Using dHW on ASHP pre-plumbed tank with external plate heat exchanger

    I agree, it's not their recommended setting - they "mitsubishi" could not explain the operation, or probably, more correctly refused to acknowledge it, even when the operation was explained to be nonsensical by 1) the installing engineer 2) the visiting mitsubishi warranty engineer and 3) the...

    Using dHW on ASHP pre-plumbed tank with external plate heat exchanger

    I forgot I posted this! Yes. Sort of. Mitsubishi were completely unhelpful in explaining anything in terms of the operation anomaly. But, if the owners change to a timed setting, so that the dhw is not set to heat whilst they are in the showering window, for example 7am to 8am, the full tank can...

    Audi A5 2.0 TDI Power Steering Control Module Location

    Oh the steering “wheel” control module. Mounted behind the steering wheel for most vw Audi cars. bit of removal to get to it. EDIT. maybe not on this one. Is this it. Doesn’t look like most of the plastic column controllers I’ve seen behind the wheel. this is left hand drive obviously.

    It'll be part of the rack, surely?

    What is happening to my wall?

    Great result if it is proven just to be the drip detail on the top of parapet. The existence of the other descriptions on the roof don't bode that well though in my book. I don't think I'd be happy with just gluing on some pvc drip strips as the fix either. The membrane over the top will need...

    What is happening to my wall?

    I don't work in roofing but I had a problem with my own flat roof on new extension. Took nearly 2 years to resolve. I had to engage a retired friend who used to own a roofing merchant and a repair refurbishment division. Yeah, it's hard with trades especially when they don't see something...

    What is happening to my wall?

    Correct I don't think that is the underlying fault. You could try it. It is low cost. Not sure how they will be attaching that to the current flexible roof material up and over the copings. Hopefully some sealant and not mechanical fixing. Looks like the roof may be epdm. But is that damp...

    What is happening to my wall?

    The last 2 posters are onto something when i look at this. The common threads are water is pooling on the roof and drainage is poor - only one small outlet opposite end. Fall "may" be inadequate too. The damp appears about level with the base level of the main flat roof. Ignore the parapet...

    6mt full width extn. ridiculousness - again

    Our journey started in 2015 and crossed 2016, so wait times may well not be reflective of now. From recollection, the planning inspectorate give current indicative appeal wait times on their website. In our case, from having our 3rd application declined, it was about 6 months for the...

    6mt full width extn. ridiculousness - again

    @frank999 Those plans are a long road to something that is quite bizarre with the gaps in rear elevation! What a pain. Like a part finished jenga game.. This is what we had approved on appeal. (Declined by council). False pitch permitier hipped roof, flat roof inside. 4.85M. Original PN was...

    6mt full width extn. ridiculousness - again

    Yes, 4.85M depth. Full plans. On appeal. We should of just filed full plans on 5M and appealed. It was not worth continuing to attempted to appease the council as they didn't actually know what they wanted and had sent us on 2 revisions to appease what they wanted but still refused. The one...

    Trying to resolve damp and missing bricks

    True. OP should definitely investigate humidity and related condensation. Many flats suffer from poor air changes and humidity that is too high, which eventually starts to take its toll on building decoration, finishes and contents.... But still, when I look at the ground levels, and it is...

    Trying to resolve damp and missing bricks

    Post #11. Thank you. Apology accepted. Photo attached with red circle. This is the area I thought looked possibly like a conduit exists, but it is quite hard to make out, and now I look again - I am not sure - it could be. But I was looking for explanations as to why the brickwork would of been...

    post #7. Get some glasses and look and think a bit harder. You have no idea. Clearly.
