My diesel, is very thermally efficient, and they used the same radiator for, petrol 2L, and I understand the 4.6L. The diesels problem is one of it produces hardly any waste heat.

What practically, have you done so far, to attempt to diagnose it?

If you are getting 240v, at the pump, and the pump is not running, and the pump shaft is free, then you need a replacement pump.

I had one of those, it drove/felt like a kwality car at the time.

And ten minutes ago, yet another SMS, with yet another appointment, 1 hour after the above phone call. Luckily, it's a phone call, a pre-operative assessment call. I am just waiting now, for the transport to take us down for my two appointment today.

Do you have a manhole nearby? Check, when the toilet is flushed, that the flush is seen to pass quickly, and freely, through the manhole. Suspect a potential blockage, or obstruction somewhere.

Worse still, the BBC published it.

No, they all got locked up!

No, not hot enough.

Last night, we watched 'Jules', occasionally funny. I was halfway through watching it, recognising the old guy, but couldn't decide who it was - it was 'Ghandi'.

It's a saddle shaped tank, so it needs to measure the level in both sides, when it drops below the hump. It uses a fancy venturi system, to transfer from one side, to the in tank pump side. I never usually run it that low that the light comes on, but... If the level is low-ish, when I park up...

Juggling hospital appointments. This coming week, I had a regular monthly kidney appointment on Friday, that needed the results of my blood, for which I had an appointment to have done yesterday at my GP's. The GP cancelled it, so now I will have to have it done tomorrow and await the results...

The 240v, goes via the following sequence. Timer > stat > pump and boiler. If you are seeing 240v out of the stat, that means timer and stat, are calling for heat, therefore your next check needs to be at the pump. Another possibility, might be, that you have lost the neutral. Checking with...

I fitted an isolator, at the same time as I had the Smart Meters put in. I fixed the isolator in place, prior to the installer's arrival, then just a matter of diverting the tails, through the isolator. In came in latter, when I swapped out the consumer unit, for a new, much larger one, with new...

Mine does exactly that. The fuel gauge is likewise an interpreted value, based on two level sensors, and present mpg. Park the car, and it will show one level, then restart the car later, it will show a lower level whilst running cold, then as the engine warms, and mpg improves, it will rise.
