    Replacement for mystery fill valve...help!

    Thanks. Isn't it possible to get one the same as my existing one? Do Torbeck ones work just as well?

    Replacement for mystery fill valve...help!

    Hi, I'm having a nightmare trying to sort out the fill valve in the toilet. Excuse the novice incorrect plumbing terms, but I've replaced the black rubber valve, which had a small hole in. This hasn't solved the problem as it looks like the clear plastic/nylon bush (?) in the end is worn down a...

    'Aquacleansed' Neff Oven...now trips RCD!

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I called someone out and it was the fan element as well as the one in the bottom for cleaning (which he disconnected rather than replacing). All fine now. Thanks.

    'Aquacleansed' Neff Oven...now trips RCD!

    Hello, I followed the instructions to clean the oven yesterday by carefully pouring water in the base of the oven and selecting the aquacleanse function...After cleaning it, the RCD kept tripping everytime I put the oven on. I've left the door open overnight and have just tested it...

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Ok, thanks everyone. I'll double check the zones to see if I really need bathroom suitable ones and if so, get an electrician! Thanks again. :)

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Sorry, I'm really confused! The bulbs in the existing fittings work fine and are these ones: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LAXM58G.html?source=adwords&kw=l58dl&gclid=CI-085nn0q4CFeMmtAodZXJ5_g I must already have transformers in the ceiling then so how do I know if those lamps I...

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Sorry, I made a mistake. I looked at a spare bulb in the drawer rather than the ones in the bathroom! They are like the ones in the seconde link you posted riveralt, with the thin pins.

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Yep, you're right. Thanks for the advice. Quite glad this has happened, now that I know they are not the right ones! :) So something like this would be ok then? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FRSH01W.html

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Ok, ban-all-sheds, so it looks like I shouldn't have IP20 over the bath. Always good to discover someone installed the wrong ones!! Think I'll have to get different ones then...

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Thank you both. I've tried white spirit too but there's no residue to remove, rather the metal appears to have been stained yellow. Very weird, especially as the tape wasn't on there that long. Riveralt, the bulbs are like the ones on the first link you posted. Chri5, I have found the exact...

    The light says 12V max 50W IP20 and I have GU10 bulbs in there.

    Halogen downlights in bathroom

    Hello, Unfortunately we used green masking tape around our downlights when painting the ceiling (wish we'd pulled them out now) and the heat from the lights has caused the tape to leave a yellow stain on the white lights. I've tried bleach, cream cleaner and astonish and nothing will shift...
