I didn't have it off personally, It was fixed by a professional who did the safety tests afterwards as they were due in a couple of weeks anyway. Not our house so I wasn't touching anything beyond the electricals and water.

Update: Problem solved, fooked gauge, would be the last thing I checked of course!

Everyday I'm Snuffling!

That's what I thought too, I go through periods of heavy DIY in the summer then have the winter off and I wasn't sure I could justify the extra money on the LXT. I put a lot of thought into it and in the end decided to go for it as I'd like them to last several years and work every time I pick...

You certainly won't go wrong with Makita, obviously they're not quite up there with Hilti quality but there also a heck of a lot cheaper.

I thought about the One+ kit from Ryobi, but after hearing a lot more about Techtronics Industries who make them and Milwaukee amongst others I wasn't too keen on them and decided to go with Makita. I've had some of their teal tools over a decade and they still run fine, some are still on their...

I have the Makita plunge saw in 240v with 2 tracks and it's never caused me any problems. Gives a lovely clean cut even with the 28T blade, so 56T gives a brilliant smooth cut. Only thing that ticked me a bit was having to buy adaptor plates to use the guide rail system with my Makita LXT...

You'd be best sanding back the laminate if this is an option, at least around the areas you'll be gluing, then use wood glue or gorilla glue.

Probably me being a muppet trying to get the right combination from the valves. Unlike the diagram in the manual our filling loop has been connected with copper pipe rather than the removable flexible pipe the manual suggests.

Yeah I realised that from the previous post and I opened this before anything else.

Ive opened the nearest radiator in the hall and taken a bucket full of filthy water away but the pressure doesnt appear to have change, and said radiator is now empty.

That is the cold pressure, over 3 bar, not letting it get hot until Ive brought it down but can't figure out how.

So many valves, so many combinations, so screwed

Yeah thats how it is now and appears to be working though am just trying to sort the pressure out as its crept way too high.

Fixed it like you suggested and appears to be working now. Everything in these houses was shoddily built on the cheap by the building company, wiring is atrocious, plastic piping keeps leaking and they didn't use a spirit level anywhere in the house (or even a tape measure for that matter)...
