Hi Guys, Looking for some advice on an issue that's driving me mad. This applies to one floor only, the other 3 floors blow them on a normal basis (one a month at worst) The Kichen and utility floor (basment) has it's own CU there are 15 halogen downlights, on a 3 gang dimmer, rated at...

It may have been New, but just left kicking around in a tool box or in the back of a van prior to being fitted. In that case he possibly should have told you prior to fitting.

Both !! He has today been back after a complaint form sent to the NIC and has started to put everything right. Shame it took a complaint to get things moving, In the firms defence it was not the Bosses that did the work, it was the "lad" even though it should have been checked properly...

This is one of 9 holes cut into a brand new ceiling by an NICEIC electrician to fit a 50w halogen down light, Right on the joist and against the cables three are the same. and what made matter worse. HE FITTED THE LIGHTS. Had the lovley smell of burning wood and plastic. But he said it's...

The WMA machines do have this problem with the bearings. The job as a reasonably skilled DIYer will take you about 2 hours depending on how bad they are. You should also change the drum spider at the same time, ensure that any replacement bearings you look to buy have the Rubina seal as...

Hi Firstly can you supply a model number for the machine. There is usually 2 causes for this problem. 1: the pipe going from the Dispenser is blocked with soap, if this is the case then the water will appear to come from the dispenser itself and run like a waterfall down the front of...

Sorry to hijack your post but my Ideal Istor is doing the same thing-ish But it only does it when the DHW starts, on central heating it's fine, it's only as the Valve changes from Central Heating to DHW replenishment it makes a REALLY Loud bang, and all the heating pipes and boiler shudder...

Just an update 5 months on and it's still working perfectly

The wall belongs to next door, I have tried every trick in the book to get him to chop off the end of it, including It's wonky, it's gonna fall down if it's not repaired, how about leaving the end bit off. It will make it easier for you to park your car with the last 2 foot taken off...

Thanks for you ideas, here's a photo of the area they are doing it, I'm thinking about moving the gate closer to the fron of the house as a possible solution.

Alot of the time it's at night when they are walking home from the pubs and clubs, but I need to have some sort of overide as I don't want to get the poor postman when he's delivering mail, if he stand by the gate too long and he gets a hair wash, he might not want to deliver any more. but...

Thanks Guys for all your ideas, i did think about electric shock theropy, but condisered the legal implications and decided against it. The flash Idea sounds interesting, I might see it I can mount a flash tube nearer eye level and blind the fookers, and they'll probably Pi55 down themselves...

Not a bad one :lol:

OK Strange old scenario, but here goes, My house is on a walking route to the town centre, every day the locals whenever they feel the call of nature they seem to use my gate, it is about half a meter ot the main pavment, but wtill in full view of passers by. This includes Women, men...

All this great great information, Thanks The boiler is in a purpose built Boiler room, with ventilation, (although I belive it is not a requirement for the Istor), There is a choice of 2 positions for the flue as the boiler is in a corner, Both positions are no-where near windows, doors or...
