Sorry, I misunderstood you. I see now, I thought you had a trick to turn 3 into 2 lol... and for my next trick I'll turn water into wine. Lol Thanks for you help :)

Ok, but the new switch only has two male connectors to solder to, but on the wiring loom there's three different coloured wires, how do you turn three into two? There's blue, Black and brown.

Opps lol are you saying its easier to cut n solder or order the right part? I followed cables to pcb, lost them in a jungle of other cables. Im not bad with a soldering iron. If I cut n solder wires, which 2 of the 3 wires do I need to solder to new microswitch?

Great. I've ordered... Microswitch Assy 248067, but as with all the suppliers I looked at it differs slightly from the one I have. Part numbers match, but mine has three cables running into it, and they're not the crimped on like the microswitch on top, which two of the three cables do I attach...

ahhh, the CH microswitch on the top clicks normally, but the microswitch on the DHW does not click. I had a look at it, and because it is different design to the CH microswitch, I assumed it wasn't meant to click.... so could be HW microswitch on front?

What might be jammed? looking at the manual there isn't any moving parts to fail, only diaphragms, springs and pushrods.

because when the boiler is on the heating runs as well as the hot water and can only be turned off if I switch the power off. I changed the DHW diaphragm because that pushrod was sticking, that is now working fine, but the pushrod on the CH only lowers when the power is cut. I explained...

Hi, I have replaced the hot water diaphragm, using the instructions below: "Isolate boiler electrics, remove dhw flow switch, isolate cold inlet under boiler,open a hot tap to remove any residual water pressure...." worked a treat, now I need to change the central heating diaphragm, my...

is that because there's no earth in the 2 core? I have the ceiling rose, which says a Max 60w bulb, does that still stand? not that was expecting to use 60w, probably energy saving bulb.

Thanks for getting back to me! Does it make any difference if the power supply is coming a single socket? as apposed to a twin socket which is what I was dealing on my last project. Looking at the shopping list its looks like the sort of thing I was I imagining, basically extended table...

LOL... OK, oh boy?! not the encouraging start I hoped for, but thanks for getting back to me :) I take it that this new light is to be independently controlled from any others in the vicinity? Yes, because I'm a novice, I thought it would be easiest, and still safe to take a...

Hi guys, A couple of years ago I posted this question on the forum: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96198 (about how to add a outside light via a twin socket spur in a garage) I'm pleased to say that it still working today, so I'm back for more help! :) I now...

Hi all, thanks for all your replies! this is absolutely genuine, the brickwork you see in the picture is as it was when taken (the other day). I've grown up in this property over the last 14 years or so and its been the same in all that time.... so I can only assume that many years ago the rain...
