how much is a PCB? (I feel scared for my wallet right now)

Hi, I've got a Ideal HE24 Boiler that is 5 years old. It was serviced in Jan, and has been ok. This morning it is dead, no diplay, no hot water. The switch for it is on, the fuse is ok, the timer panel (seperate) turns on/off with the switch. I've turned off the fuse box and on...

Hello all, I've got 12v recessed lighting installed, and I'd like to attach a dimmer switch to them. I know that all the transformers are ... 240V to 12V AC. Dimmable with resistive and inductive dimmers. 1.0kV surge protection. Soft start to extend lamp life with overload and short...

thanks for all the responces. 1: yes I think its a block and beam concrete building. I've looked through 3 of the fixture holes and they all have concret above them (6cm above them) 2: Ive got some recess lights already from litecraft.com The doc's that came with them state 13cm...

Hello all, I want to fit some recess lights in my flat. So Im after some fire retardant lights. I'm not too fused if they are low voltage or main voltage. (I'd prefer mains voltage so they can be dimmed) BUT... I only have 6cm space above the ceiling. :cry: All of the lights...

I might just do that. The problem I brought a load of downlighter already, then realised they had no firehood/protection. :oops:

just a quick question... where is the best place to buy firehood from? (and before you all ask, yes there is flat above me, so I need them) :lol:

Thanks Dave, I'll keep an eye on the rad in the spare room. I've only noticed a few drips since the carpet has a small stain on it. Thanks again. Jeff

>>No water could have occured gradually or prv opened because of another fault. prv? "water could have occured gradually" hu ? >>Have you noticed any leaks/damp patches anywhere? Nope. a few drops of water under one of the rad in the spare bedroom. but its only a very small stain in the...

Jeff runs over to 'gas4you' and give me a big hug :lol: :lol: :lol: yea! I have hot water again! I not longer have to smell like a dead badger. Ok, two final questions... 1: how did this happen to start with? 2: when is it best to bleed the rads? when the system is A: on at the...

ha ha. Like my dad says "stand back boy, you can't see the wood for the trees" So I've turned the black valve and increased the pressure to 1.5bar. gonna turn it on now to see what happends.

ok. so how do I do that? put water in it? (system is off at the mo) These are the pipes at the bottom...

I've checked the reset switch, and although it doesn't feel like positive yes/no when I push the button, it doesn't seem stuck. I've taken a load of pics. Its a HE24 the out side... the outside: system off. The internals (I've not touched anything, just taken the pics)...

ok. I'm learning as I go. Spoke to Ideal and H6 is 'reset button is stuck in'. So I'll check that out tonight.
