Nope. Probably a bit old model. Two 55° and one 65° cycle. How much does heating element cost? Wondering what is the total cost of replacing that.

Hi, My tecnik dishwasher is tripping the rcd after 10-15 run. There is no cold cycle to test if heating element is the culprit. Is it worth even calling the electrician or better off replacing it directly? I am reluctant to pay £50-60 and eventually paying 250 to replace it. Thanks Neeraj

The hole in the base is little more than 50mm so I guess I need something similar in the base. I will try to find a joinery shop nearby.

Thanks, that sounds like an idea. Let me try though I will struggle to drill that big a hole through the post but I guess that is the best option.

Let me hear your tips, who knows you are not one of them...

sometimes lessons are learnt hard way... what should I do now?

Hi, I had one of the "rated person" carpenter do some work who has done the shoddiest of jobs ever. I was being silly not watching over him. Anyway, here is the problem. We were getting new banisters and newel post fitted as only part of the staircase had banisters. He cut off the old post...

Thank you all. I did actually bled the radiators upstairs and pressure is now down to around 1 and radiators are heating properly. Good learning for me.

Thank you. I finally found the screw you kindly pointed. However, I think I have created a bit of problem. Because of the tight space I could not close the screw back in time and the pressure now reads little over 2 (boiler is switched off). How do I bring it back now? Thanks again

Thank you all, this is very helpful. I have taken a closeup of the pipes. Am I supposed to be turning the top or the bottom screw. I have circled both the screws here.

Hi, I have a Ideal-Isar combi boiler. Radiators at the first floor are hot at the bottom 1/4 part but very cold above that bit. After reading somewhere I checked the pressure at the boiler and it is nearly 0. I have never increased the pressure myself so confused how to do it and the manual...

Hi, I have a new basin installed sometime back and the plumber did a real shoddy job and now I have a leak from under the basin. Basically it is leaking from the black bit in the image below. It seems like it is a single piece in the basin and not sure what to do to stop the leak...

I am fitting a laminate floor and this needs to be connected to the tiled floor in the en-suite. The en-suite has a sliding door. What kind of edging will I need to get for connecting these two floors? I found threshold edging on US websites. Wondering what is it called in UK? Thanks Neeraj
