Many thanks Bernard, I have emailed the Rindo UK contact you supplied and now wating a reply Colin

Recently bought Rindo 10W LED Flood Light + PIR from QVS with no set-up instructions, when enquired to QVS, they said there is no instructions, but advised to unclip front and adjust from inside which consists of about eight minute switches with eitherr an up or a down setting, but there appears...

Many thanks for your answer and opinion, you are right, I will fit a standard ball cock valve.

I appear to have continual problems with the water valve supplying my Central Heating Header Tank. Due to diificult access for changing washers I changed a conventional float valve to a Torbeck and within the last 3-4 years, I have had the to change the diaphram valve often due to the valve...

Many thanks for your advice which is reassuring. I will probably buy a Bristan to replace the existing, have you any further advice and bad experiences with Bristan and what is the best model for simplicity and reliability?

Thank you for your comments, you are right my old unit is a Shower Force. The old unit cws is adjacent to the airing cupboard where the hw cylinder and cws tank is located and as said previously the cws pipe has only between 75-100mm head of water and works perfectly.

I am completely refurbishing my shower room leaving all the existing plumbing and floor to ceiling tiling in situ. My current power shower is a power force 2000 which is at least 20 years + old but in good working order and considering replacing with a bristan as the hot/cold inlets are the...

Not as yet, but I will do so tomorrow and keep you informed about any progress, thanks for that suggestion.

Yes they are the furthest away from the boiler

:( :( 3 year ago had a replacement potterton Kingfisher mf fitted and all my 16 radiators have worked OK up to when I had a replacement I/Direct Water Cylinder fitted. The previous cylinder had a Thermostatic Valve fitted for the hot water system, but the Corgi engineer employed for the...

Thank's for your very detailed and explanatory advice which I will probably act upon to improve the system generally. Today is the second full day since I restarted the system and so far "touch wood" it appears to functioning OK, I have 8 out of 10 rads on downstairs and 1 in bathroom...

Thank's for your input Mick, as far as I can see there are no "T" junctions in the pipework at the back of the boiler and my HWC is upstairs therefore am I to assume that the HW is gravity fed? Have done a slight back pressure by connecting mains hose to drain off stop cock and did manage to...

Have front panel off boiler and cannot see any 3 way valve similar to the photo, the Wilo pump is fitted externally and both flow & return appear to dissapear behind the boiler, but by using a mirror with a torch cannot see this valve anywhere. There are three 22mm water pipes connected...
