The door pictured has a cracked panel. I can cover one side of the crack with a nice over the door mirror but not the other side. I have a boiler cupboard door in the bathroom where one side isn't visible so if I could swap the two panels it would solve the problem. Is there someone that would...

No idea. He undid whatever he did when he serviced the boiler?

So, I got fed up of Eon and called the guy that originally serviced the boiler. Can't remember if I mentioned it, but my landlord insists on using this lad to service the boiler because his wife is a friend but I think he's not competent and the problem all started right after he'd serviced the...

Fine. I posted this on another forum as well and didn't add that the 100 was just a random figure as this entire thing has become utterly tedious and I just want to sort it out. Sorry to disappoint, but there is no conspiracy here. I'd like to think I have better things to do than lie about a...

That's right.

I never said it was 100, 100 was just to give an idea of what I meant by an increase. Why do people think this is a wind up? It's only gone on so long because nobody knows the answer.

So, if it's only the one radiator that is providing incorrect readings, that would mean the fault lies with the radiator and not the meter? Yes, m3. When I say a ''unit'' I mean the red numbers going from 000 to 999 and 999 being a single unit, as when it gets to 999, the non red numbers will...

Maybe I'm being paranoid but over the summer I had my boiler serviced. But it was by a friend of my landlord who is very nice but I think a bit incompetent. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he'd done something to cause this.

Gas board? And trying to re calibrate the rads myself would likely result in my burning my street down :LOL:

Yes, but the other two radiators give consistent readings. Not 100% the same every time, but close enough. The radiator in question also has the same consistency. I've posted this on another forum too and people keep saying the same thing, about how it's impossible to determine how much is...

And how does one re-calibrate?

I don't understand. I run one radiator, and check the usage by how many units have been used on the gas meter. Like I say, using the radiator for 20 minutes (average time I leave it on) would use x amount of units previously. Now its saying almost double. How is that not an accurate way of...
