Yes thanks. Have replaced parts on tumble dryer & dishwasher before so not bothered about taking things apart, but not main heating elements.
Also there are other issues with the oven, so may be best buying new.
Will check on new oven if it's 13amp or direct connect. If direct connect should be...
Thanks - no point spending more on it - needs a new light fitting & element if thats the issue - don't fancy changing that myself really.
And half way to cost of new one then. Will get looking.
Thanks for reply - it just trips the RCD protecting that half of the board, and hence everything else on it goes too (including downstairs sockets with Broadband router on so very inconvenient), not the kitchen/cooker MCB.
Oven is plugged in via 13A plug into fused spur socket. Guess I can get a...
Hi all, looking for electrical advice.
Have a Bosch single built under oven (approx 6 yrs old) - has started to trip out the RCD on modern fuse board but can't find a pattern to it. Mainly happens when been on for a while with lots in (sunday roast etc.). Each time I have been present when...
update:
have sourced some insulating board which will be used on the outside wall, finished with board around and sealant etc.
Existing partition wall will be insulated & boarded on other side.
Future floor plans are either seal with floor paint, or in additional lay a simple baton floor...
Hi, after some insulation and joinery advice for home study improvements for the winter. DIY project on a small budget.
Thanks in advance (competent-ish DIYer). Jon

JohnD - will look into that - thanks. No chance to do before service visit unfortunately.
UPDATE: Tank replaced (1st didn't fit, second did but took most of day in all) & all seems well. Had new HW isolation tap fitted at same time.
UPDATE & resolution.
took 2 x visits & had to wait 2 weeks between but agreed diagnosis of new HW tank with BG.
They insisted system left off overnight to prove not system blockage. Did this (fortunately not cold yet) and still overflowing.
New HW tank & immersion & switch & associated...
Thanks - will call them again.
Has been fine for a few days, but now seems worse. Emptied approx. 6ltrs from h&e tank this morning @ 8am - 2pm have noticed dripping again and emptied same. This with no heating or hot water on.
Previously dripping was only from overnight - during day was fine...
UPDATE:
homecare visit for f&e tank overflow drip 23/08.
First off said I needed Powerflush @ £850.
Then changed pump when he saw the hot water coming back into the f&e feed. Showed me pump after and all furred up. Said this will be OK short term but need powerflush once heating is on & won't...
Hi, after some confirmation please after reading up here an other forums.
Have conventional boiler, hot water tank, cold water tank & small header tank.
Overflow pipe from header (f&e) tank has constant drip.
Ballcock not leaking and works as it should - level of water goes over max...
Hi again - will get a room thermometer and check before replacing - thanks.
Re: the boiler I was always told to keep it lower when warmer weather and raise if it is really cold.
