    Which Radiator Make and TRV / Lockshield?

    The pin can be pulled out and there will be minimal flow of water. The valve and pin appear to be isolated () which explains why the main valve can stick yet the pin is free to move.

    Which Radiator Make and TRV / Lockshield?

    All makes stick if left in the closed position for a time in my experience.

    A lot of bathroom cabinets come with a 2 pin shaver socket.

    Best alcohol free lagers or ales.

    By far the best I have tried - Impossibrew Triple Hop and Big Drop Galactic Stout.

    Analogue or digital ?

    I replace the rechargeable batteries on our Gigaset phones every couple of years. I don’t think being on permanent charge does them any good. Ideally the manufacturers should have made the chargers intelligent.

    Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28 - F32

    I have come across a couple of random fault codes with our Vaillant boiler in the 10 years we have had ours . I would not worry about them if a reset solves them unless it happens more than once or twice.

    I only concern myself with 2 and then ensuring the heat curve of the boiler is appropriate for our house.

    Radiator Sludge

    A skill worth learning. Paying an engineer to do it doesn’t make sense to me given the time it takes.

    Radiator Sludge

    But won’t do anything to deal with the residue in the pipe work.

    Radiator Sludge

    It’s a case of finding the right installer/engineer and ideally a personal recommendation. One tip is to find a highly recommended one that is too busy and as them to recommend a local smaller company that is more likely to be available.

    Boiler has died

    My guess is faulty circuit board.

    We like the design and performance of the Geberit wall hung.

    How Good are New Toilets?

    The U.S.A pans are very different to ours with a comparatively large pool of shallow water.
