Hopefully you can help me. Ive just bought a dormer bungalow which has been extended (5 bed, 3 showers, 1 bath), unfortunately its still got a small vented hot water tank. I would like to have a larger hot water tank, but there is no space where the current tank is. Although the other side of...

Well i got home and tried the test and no joy.. so i was feeling a bit miffed, even though when i did the test call it cut out the house phones by design so it was picking up. After i had admitted defeet for the evening, i thought i would try and dial the number from my land line as per its...
