Thanks Barry, that looks really helpful. Not sure how I missed it in my searching!

Finally got time last night to check out the external sensor. Turns out it was full of water and the connection to the resistor had corroded through in one part. That explains why it wasn't working then! It was badly positioned and the rubber grommit where the cable went in wasn't in right so it...

Well I got home too late last night to do anything but now have a multimeter and shall be having a look tonight. Onetap - I hvae read and re-read the manual a few times now, it's a feat of awful translation I think. You're right though, there is an offset but only by a maximum of 5 deg so not...

Thanks for the explanation Mikely, it makes a little more sense now. I shall try disconnecting it tonight and report back tomorrow on my findings.

No I haven't had a look in the external sensor unit yet, it was cold and dark by the time I was doing this last night so it is on my list of things to look at tonight. I've also sent my partner on a multimeter hunt so hopefully I'll have one of those by tonight too and will be able to check the...

Thanks for your quick reply. I would expect the stat to work in conjunction too, the way it is now it seems unnecessary. Until the vrc400 stopped working at least! I don't think I have anything to measure resistance but I'm sure I can borrow from a friend. Is there anything else you...

Hi everyone, We recently moved into a house with a Vaillant ecotec plus 831 and a vrc400 mounted on the boiler. There is also a Drayton Digistat rf1 connected up. The external sensor for the vrc400 is clearly broken as it has been registering temperatures of about -45 to -60C. It's cold...

thanks for your help, i guess i wasn't too clear in my post. what i meant was that at the corner between the two walls, the joins between the tiles didn't quite line up, so on one wall a tile will end but on the other wall, the tile wouldn't finish for another 1 or 2 mm. the first time i did...

I've just started tiling my bathroom and am having a slight problem. I have three walls that join in a u shape, the back wall fits an exact number of tiles but the other two don't so i will have part tiles in the corners and hence i currently have a gap there. is there any easy way of making...

thanks for you help. so even laminate that says it's ok in bathrooms you wouldn't recommend? i was looking at b&q's aqualoc range http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/product/product.jsp?tb=&CATID=8100025&entryFlag=false&PRODID=6020003&paintCatId= i'm not too keen on laminate either to be honest, I...

I have just bought my first house and have absolutely no idea what kind of flooring I want to fit anywhere. For now I'm just working on upstairs: bedrooms, bathroom and landing/stairs. The rooms are small especially the bathroom and I am going for white walls in all the rooms and a white...
