    Newel Post removal

    Thanks for the response big-all. What I am on about is that the newel that is in is sectional with the bottom being 90mm, then a turned middle section, then the ball on the top. From the fusion instructions, even if I remove just from the turned section up, there is not enough left from...

    Newel Post removal

    Well, after a google I think I found the answer from AWBCM - it is a no :oops: so my next problem - what to do? They are sectional newel posts as well so are already hollowed out as I thought about making the Fusion Newel there a bit longer and trimming the bolt to length taking account of...

    Blown Engineer bricks

    Alpha CB50 - Help - before I take a hammer to it!!!

    Thanks for your replies guys. I will have a stab at fitting a Magnaclean to the system - on the return I believe but will have to wait until after holidays in a week though - but while it is still mild if it takes me much longer. That can still be used with the new system - in fact will get...

    Alpha CB50 - Help - before I take a hammer to it!!!

    Hi Tony, we have had a whole list of issues with the boiler - the worst (as such - dec 27th - subzero in the daytime - it was personally bad even though it was a frozen overflow pipe). I go away a lot for work - both in the UK and abroad, and my wife is as technical as a rock and has no...

    Alpha CD28C/Premier Pack and Gas Saver?

    Please help with my central heating system.

    I think that is your answer - I bet if you look on your bill your are being charged metric - (MI or M(cubed ie to the power of 3)), They have swapped you over to Metric billing without changing the meter. Go to an imperial->metric converter on the web and compare what a foot cubed is compared...
