    Creda 850DL Shower loss of heat - Mid Temp Led has gone out

    All locations are the same so its a case of remove and refit. You may need to cut some of the plastic on the rear cover of the new one but its a small job. Most creda's have the same pin and pipe and electricity entry points. You can check their website - it gives all the locations for...

    Old Pebble Dash

    What people Rubbish Old threads hold good information. Jeez its well seeing you've never been a moderator on a BBS. If thats your view then why not delete all the old threads then if they are of no use! So you end up creating multiple threads on the same topic so we now have 3 threads...

    Painting pebbledash (Dulux Weathershield Easyspray)

    Yeah that roll on thing was a nonsense!!! Didnt have to thin it at all it went straight into the spray gun reservoir 5l - it had a good selection of nozzle sizes but the pressure from the compressor goes up to 250psi which helped. Amazing what you can do when you Do It Yourself and its a...

    Painting pebbledash (Dulux Weathershield Easyspray)

    No probably because it was a hand pumped system and you need more pressure and a wider nozzle to pump thicker paint like Weathershield. I bought a fantastic compressor from Lidl £79. Great for inflating the car tyres and other tasks / bought a spray gun from Ebay £19 and sprayed my whole...

    Old Pebble Dash

    Yes you are quite correct! I'm actually a tiler and always used to using pva (and only on my chipboard subfloors as it does soak in 90%- never on ply or on walls to be tiled) - I should have said SBR for outside as pva is a definite nono due to its properties when re-wet! I always use...

    Stabiliser only used on chalky or dry dusty walls otherwise you could be causing yourself adhesion issues.

    pebbledash

    Tyrolean is not pebble dash its just throwing cement usually using a mching to splatter effect. In effect you are correct - 2 layers cement mix and throw yer pebbles on.

    Old Pebble Dash

    These older type of houses with larger pebble dash are the most difficult to patch and slightly harder to do a full render. I am patching and doing a couple of complete walls at the moment and i can tell you the patching is the most difficult mainly because you have to match the style and...

    Creda 850DL Shower loss of heat - Mid Temp Led has gone out

    Turns out from examining my other broken showers (8500Dl , 950Dl) that failed with the same issue is I believe is a manufacturing issue with all Creda and I bet other showers. The microswitches are attached to the case by a small plastic pin which over use weakens then snaps causing the...

    Creda 850DL Shower loss of heat - Mid Temp Led has gone out

    Ok it always turns out to be the simplest solution. I removed the case and the microswitches seemed ok but i noticed an intermittent connection on my meter. Turns out and from the diagram the gentleman above kindly provided that there are really only two connections that would cause the...

    Creda 850DL Shower loss of heat - Mid Temp Led has gone out

    I did have the older 850dl but its now a 950dl with same problem. I think the Chrome outer section shows your shower is one of the older models. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8329769.htm As you can see the new one is all white. I had the old 850dl model variant...

    Creda 850DL Shower loss of heat - Mid Temp Led has gone out

    Can i ask a question - do you by any chance take extra long showers ie more than 20 minutes??? I tend to spend a long time in the shower 15-20 minutes due to my Ocd and this may have an impact on the life of the heater elements - its just an idea. But yes will reply once i have tested all...
