The bathroom downlight above the shower cubicle stopped working yesterday. The fitting is an Aurora IP65 fireproof downlight. I removed the fitting and put in a new bulb. It still wouldn't work. Tried another bulb just in case and still nothing. I checked with a multimeter that there was...

The original thermostat is a Timeguard one and this is the second one to go faulty since the system was installed in 2006 so if possible I would like something better, more reliable and with a larger LCD display.

Not had a problem with our actual UFH system which was installed in 2006 apart from with the thermostat controllers. We are on our second controller since installation and the second one has recently developed a fault. They are Timeguard controllers and from our experience they dont seem to be...

Our underfloor heating thermostat is faulty. To replace it with the same model as currently fitted it would cost £60. I have been looking for a replacement online and see that they all seem to come with 10k temperature probes whereas our original one has a 110k temperature probe. Would a...

You dont have to use a masthead amp. Our aerial goes direct into an 8 way loftbox and freeview is fine on all the 5 tvs.

This will do the job: http://www.tvlink.co.uk/t-series-amplifiers.htm If you wanted to distribute more than just the antenna the Loftbox would be better. http://www.tvlink.co.uk/loftbox.htm

Assuming it is a SKY dish and pointing in the correct direction then yes but only if you buy a TV with FreeSat built in. http://www.freesat.co.uk/products/hd-tv-range

The house is 3 storeys, 11 rads. Garage is in the garden detached from the house and the boiler and megaflo etc are in the garage. We do tend to have the heater on alot as the downstairs is always colder and takes longer to heat and a family member with a chronic illness is always cold so we...

I will look into that thanks. So will they just remove the internal expansion vessel, install an external one which will conect to where the internal one is connected or does the boiler have some sort of provision for an external expansion vessel? How much roughly should I be looking at to...

Thanks. Does anyone know the answer to the below. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101026073413AA16dge In the above Yahoo link a Vaillant enginner says "firstly boilers fixed to cold garage walls, naturally deflate twice as much/quicker than in warmer kitchen mounted...

Every two weeks or so when waking up in the morning there is no hot water and no heating. Boiler shows F.25 and the water pressure is 0. So the pressure must be getting too high which causes the PRV to open. This also seems to start to happen every year when the colder weather comes. Last...

Thanks for the help guys. It was the heater.

How do I test the heater in the dryer?

Bosch condenser dryer model WTE69, 3 years old. The filter indicator light on the dryer was illuminating during the cycle. The door filter is cleaned regularly and was clean but we gave it a thorough clean dryed it out. Next time we used the dryer the same happened. So we re-cleaned the...

You can get height adjustable island cooker hoods but they arent cheap. The height is adjusted by pressing a button. Miele do them. http://www.miele.co.uk/PRODUCTS/ProductList.aspx?range=Island+Cooker+Hoods&filter=4223%c2%acy|
