Cheers for all the replies. If I go with Aico smoke alarms should they be easy to wire and should they be connected to sound together with the existing wiring as I assume the existing alarms are?

Hi. In the house my wife and I recently bought there are 2 smoke alarms that are not working and are both well past the expiry date on them. They're a discontinued model FireX 120-950E. I've attached a photo so the connector can be seen. Does anyone know of a direct replacement where I wouldn't...

Thanks. There's no wire connected to the Off connector, the one labelled number 1, on the EPH wireless receiver. I'm using the Tado wirelessly so I've not wired it in, there is a Danfoss wall thermostat that's still wired in but I'm not sure it's functional, the previous owner has chosen to wire...

Hi In the house I've recently moved into the previous owner installed an EPH wireless receiver and thermostat. I want to remove this as I've got a Tado thermostat I'd like to use instead. There is an external Danfoss FP715 programmer under the boiler that I've already replaced with the Tado...

Thanks, is it just a case of pulling it away from the tiles then?

Cheers

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can advise what the best adhesive is to stick this plastic cover back down please? It's a cover between window frames on a bay window, it's come away completely. Thanks

Hi. Hopefully a simple one but does anyone know how I'd go about removing one of these covers from a light in a shower please? And also where I could possibly get a replacement? The cosmetic damage to it just bothers me a bit and I'm guessing they're probably cheap to replace. Cheers

Thanks, I think that's what I'll do to have a look if there's anything obvious that's failed, hoping that it's just a seal and I can buy one that's suitable. In the manual for what I believe to be the correct model it shows 2 washers as part of the knob/handle assembly, these are rubber o-rings...

I think I've figured out now that it's a Triton Dart. There seems to be a few different revisions, the Dart 1, Dart 2, and I think Dart 3 and Dart Eco are the same revision or at least share some parts. It's possible I would need to purchase all of the handle/knob assembly even if it is just the...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can help with some advice regarding my partner's shower, which is leaking/dripping. I'm guessing it's a seal that's failed and needs to be replaced. The water appears to be coming from the gap between the dial for the water flow and the dial for the temperature...

Just went up to take a quick photo of how I've left it.

They are enclosed in a wagobox, I stated in my post that I didn't take a photo of that. Admittedly I don't know a great deal about electrics which is why I came to this forum for some advice, what do you mean by no strain relief and no mechanical protection; I guess the last part is resolved...

Thought I'd just give an update on this. All went to plan, I did the wiring in the loft though, working in the tight space between the ceiling and the platform that the cold water tank is on. I did this because the cables came through a wooden slat, not sure if that's what it's called, and that...

I might be back with more questions in around a week . I was going to get on with it today but there's no rush and that hardware store is closed today. It also kind of makes sense to go to Screwfix and Toolstation on my way back from my only day of the week in the office, which is tomorrow. Next...
