Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately there won't be any spare wiring from the programmer that I can use to connect to T1 & T2 on the Heatlink so my plan to power the Nest was to re-use the cables that go to the existing thermostat. I had the Nest stand free so I was going to spur to a...

Apologies for butting in, but I've been looking to check just the same thing. For a system boiler I'm about to replace a Drayton LP522 & RTS1 thermostat with a Nest and have pretty much worked worked out the connections. Luckily they're exactly the same as the ones you've given. Stem, Can I...

Hi, I've had a Canon MP600 for a couple of years. It's now been updated to a MP630 I think, but it's been pretty reliable. I've had inkjet printers before that have died after using aftermarket cartridges but I replaced the first set a few months ago with some from Cartridge World and it's...

seco services Thanks for the advice. Used a mole grip and managed to free, but these valves really are locked in place - originally I turned the plastic cap but it only rounded the mounting inside. I'm considering replacing the valve for a TRV. The system has micro bore so I'll need to...

I wasn't necessarily going to replace the valves but may decide to fit TRVs - obviously I wouodn't need to turn the valves. Someone's borrowed my mole grips but I'll get them back to try. I know these valves haven't been turned in 12 years but can't believe how firmly stuck they are. I can...

Hello, I'm new here but would really appreciate some advice from anyone who's around. I need to replace a couple of radiators that are too small for a fairly large living room but need to confirm the spanner I need to turn off the valves. It's a 12yr old house but these are not TRVs. I...
