Glad I found this. Just opened up the airing cupboard to a familiar scene. Currently the netamo thermostat is wired into 2 and 3 and is doing a great job of measuring the heat out of hot water cylinder whilst house freezes. So planning to wire relay instead to 2/3 running the L/N to the...

That might work to replace all the parts. Doesn't give a measurement of the ends but look they are stepped. Cheers.

Sorry. Doesn't mean anything to me. I was just after a direct replacement for the part that had split. I'll pop into the local shop next week with all the bits. Sounds like a replacement can be fabricated through a combination of other bits. Cheers.

It's a purpose built flat will solid concrete floors in between. I was surprised when I was told, can't normally hear anything between flats.

My downstairs neighbour after over one year since installation, has mentioned that he can hear me pee through their ceiling in multiple rooms. I have listened and I agree you can hear a kind of gurgling when you pour water into the pan, but not when you flush. He suggested the toilet has...
