Coincidence. Pure coincidence.

It won't be anything to do with the Openreach fibre 'cabling' work... That uses light not wireless radio signals. It'll be localised WiFi radio interference. Most likely other users of the no licence required radio bands used for WiFi internet (and home automation and bluetooth and...)...

Looks to be an anti-tamper / security screw holding both valve heads in place... which may make removal a slight challenge. Security bit sets are available from diy shops (inc amazon/eBay) or needle nosed pliers can sometimes be used to undo them (damaging the pliers often though). They look...

Contact cleaner lubricants or greases... Electrolube, Servisol, WD40 branded, et al I'd put a smear of silicone grease on as I have it "in stock" will keep damp at bay and it's non-electrically-conducting .

Do you know the make and model? As above to meet/get approval of UK Water Regs (WRAS) an air-gap type AB is required inside the bidet toilet seat... one example is...

There are some bidet toilets that have WRAS approval (i.e. include the necessary air-gap required to its internal water store that is usually heated for use). Cold water is not nice. https://www.wrasapprovals.co.uk/approvals-directory/?section=0278&perpage=all Fit one of those, if it is the...

How did you diagnose THAT "fact". Or is it your hypothesis? = induced interference into the antenna circuit most likely. Cross-interference is very commonplace: Try: Better screened antenna cable. Better screened hdmi lead (or if plugged in direct, try a quality hdmi extender cable to move...

No need for a soldering iron to replace a glass (20mm likely) fuse in a skeleton fuseholder... Ceramic sand-filled would be better for a mains fuse... if the same Amps and Time rating can be found. Those may be stamped on the ends of the current fuse. ISOLATE the mains before touching that...

Smartme suggests Act = Active and has the instructions via drop down boxes for getting to (for dual rate tariffs): 'Rate 01 Act Imp' (Active Import Register 1) 'Rate 02 Act Imp' (Active Import Register 2) and Total Act Export (Active Export Register). Which register is day and which night...

Why auto tune --- last thing to be done when you get a reception problem! (Sometimes due to things outwith your control that will auto correct when a fault - such as continental interference or a transmitter problem goes away). Anyways: Gently nip the aerial centre pin/socket up a tad... Then...

Pretty sure that meter instructions will be available on the internet, somewhere... https://www.landisgyr.eu/product/landisgyr-e470/ is probably the most likely model (that you omitted from your photo) but has two variants ... smartme has a see https://www.smartme.co.uk/reading-my-meter and...

I'd recommend then going for one of those that include the VOIP telephone BT socket line converters in the supplied routers... The path of least resistance. Ensure Ma is on the ISP 'vulnerable user' register... a short term battery backup ought to be supplied foc, I understand when FTTP...

I've answered this on another forum. That channel is on the Local TV muxes LCN210 from some transmitters... Aimed into large conurbations not rural locations. Very unlikely to be received in Woodford Halse (either from the relay of Sutton Coldfield, SC itself or Oxford or Sandy Heath which are...

Or did as I have when moving to Plusnet from Talk Talk: Ditch the landline altogether and use our mobiles (via WiFi calling if necessary). NB that was FTTC (SOGEA to be more precise)... FTTP is coming soon. Talk Talk and BT/EE offer the <Digital Voice> service on their modem-routers via a BT...

Cat5E is capable of 1Gbps at up to 100m. Cat 6 is capable of 10Gbps up to 55m and 1 Gbps up to 100m. FTTP from most ISPs can range from 74 Mbps to 900Mbps with 1Gbps occasionally. Most ISP routers are 1Gbps switches inside. Unless the router/switches and connected devices are 2.5Gbps capable...
