Thanks for the info - I suppose one thing I was wondering is whether an independent rgi would do a DV for less than £250 inc parts? If so, I will give them a go instead of WB. Thought I'd get an idea here before ringing around......

My WB boiler (above) keeps tripping out the thermal cut out, seems to be lacking the hot water pressure it used to and is now intermittently losing the hot water momentarily. Most of this is when the heating is on. Having looked through this and other forums, it seems the diverter valve may be...

Shower still dripping dispite new seals, and only just got around to looking at it again! (can isolate fairly easily, so been doing that!). Now I've also found a correct section view of the shower unit, I can see which o-ring is tha main seal - I've looked at the seat where this o-ring seals...

Thanks for that - I've ordered a new seal kit, so hopefully that will sort it! Your a *

Brilliant! So at about £130 for a cartridge, is it worth replacing totally? The 'leak' is that it drips really badly when turned off. I've checked the main o-rings on the cartridge and they look basically OK (although I haven't replaced them). For a dripping unit, is it likely to be the...

Nice one - looks like that could be it. Uploaded another image showing the coverplate. I'll google some more info on that model and see if I can confirm your excellent response!

Here's one to test your knowledge! I have a leaking thermostatic shower which, if I knew what make it was, I could look at getting a new cartridge for. However, there are no markings on it at all indicating the make, let alone the model. Does anyone recognise what it might be from these...

Thanks guys - Just wired the main wire into pin 2 and 5 and moved the scotch blocks to connect these to the additional box. All working and this is the broadband connection I'm typing on now!

Thanks guys - the 'Junction box' term was used in the loosest sense for this! What it really is is a box containing a couple of scotchblock type connectors which I can't see how to get apart to add additional cables to. Therefore, if I am understanding correctly, to wire the additional socket...

I have just found an additional phone socket in our new house, which upon testing was found not to work! I have looked briefly at the wiring, and can't make out what has been done - hence posting this question! I shall try to explain what I have found. There appears to be a main incoming...

Not quite sure what the benefit of a normal coax splitter would be? Surely this would still mean three cable terminations and plugs - if I'm doing that, then there is no extra work on terminating them with the better designed F-type is there?

Thanks - That sounds like the right way to go.

Thanks for that - seems a pity. Have been reading a bit more, what about the use of a splitter like this: http://www.labgear.co.uk/products.php?action=showprod&cid=8&cname=Network%20Taps%20and%20Splitters&plid=27&sc1name=UHF%20Taps&sc2name=&pid=120&pname=FHU082 or...

Sorry Matthew - It looks like I've completely muddled it now! Basically, what I want is the lead from the aerial to feed into the back of the first box (as it does now) and then a second coax to go out the back of the first box, under the floor and into the back of the second socket - much like...

Thanks Matthew - I think all the double sockets I have seen have had connections for two cables at the rear, and these were the sort that I was hoping to use as I want the coax to be as hidden as possible - are you saying that this won't work? I agree with the 'proper' way, but I am reluctant...
