But how do I get the installers back to put right what I expected to be a efficient system rather than what I have now. A total waste of energy!!

I didn't have any choice and expected two separate valves to be fitted. I have no need to have priority for hot water at all. It definitely is thermal drift issue. I expected an energy efficient system but I seem to be paying to keep the boiler hot even when the boiler is off. I'm trying...

Hi, I've just had (a year ago) a Plan W control system fitted to my newly installed replacement gas fired boiler & HW cyclinder I seem to be wasting a vast amount of heat, due to thermal drift. The HW cylinder is situated just below the boiler. The temp readout out reads 43deg C 12 hours...

I had no trouble with a length of heat resistant flex going into the boiler and I was not questioning that. My concern, (along with earth clamps fitted to painted pipes, earth fault loop readings when no test was carried out, with a boiler that is fitted to a timber panel, with a overflow/vent...

Yes, there are certainly much more issues than the electric install both with the gas & water.

A supply to a newly installed gas central heating system. Incidentally, found to be paralleled into the existing immersion heater circuit

Thanks, I can use the bit about 'heavy duty' in my complaint letter!

Hi Guys I need to know the regs numbers so that I can quote in a letter of complaint. The first issue is the reg that prevents a 'fixed' installation being wired in flex and secondly the reg pertaining to the use of the new style core colours (brown/blue) being installed whilst old style...

The Year is 2002 I cannot start the car so am unable to get to a garage to be able to read the ECU Thks

I have had trouble for some time in starting the above and it is getting worse until now when I have a no-starter. I noticed that the glow plug dash indicator sometimes was on and sometimes refused to come on. If the indicator does not light then it is a non-start situation. I have...

Unfortunately not, due to a great deal of other commitments

There was no wear to the tyres and other than a noisy front end there were no other problems. After I had collected the vehicle from the servicing garage the steering wheel was not 'straight' to the view whilst driving on a straight road. The car pulled to the left. And yes, although I do not...

Hi, thanks for reading. I had a pair of new front tyres and full wheel alignment carried out on my Renault Scenic by a local tyre fitting company Within two months it was necessary to take the car to a servicing garage for a replacement bottom steering ball joint due to noise from the...

Hi, my fridge freezer is knocking out my RCD device in the consumer unit every time the compressor stops under thermostat control. Unit runs OK and continues to get cold otherwise. Any thoughts?

Hi, any help gratefully received. Since my house RCB device tripped twice in the space of an hour (not related to wash mach fault, more to do with snow + outside lights) the above machine has failed to work. The door locks, no other noises. The start/pause indicator flashes red and does not...
