How can it lock out with no demand for hot water or heating? Are you saying you clear the code and turn it on and the code is back again instantly. No delay is it waits for the pump to increase the flow and activate the switch.

if its an old swedish made model probably good, if its imported model probably crap and better to go with sip

got it (y)

he says its on either but more likely when on DHW. Have to admit i would have thought it would be the other way around as short circuit for the heating water. Maybe issue with bypass circuit?

I forgot about this, so its the capacitor

capacitors fail gradually so at some point the problem could be intermittent, does the spindle sometimes come out slowly and presses the switch, and sometimes half out? there is a rubber diaphragm in there but if that was split maybe it would never come on. Not sure

pressure isn't the same as flow. Its the lack of flow which is the problem. As i keep saying if the pump rotates freely its probably the capacitor that is weak. If there is not enough flow the spindle wont come out and you'll get a lock out. Nothing to do with system pressure. What do you mean...

looks good, 375w is decent for 6" and SIP are pretty good usually. I have a big belt/disc sander of theirs and car jack and both impressed me

These are the brushes, https://www.partshopdirect.co.uk/makita-replacement-carbon-brushes-brush-pair-cb419-hp1641-p191962-4/ if you see the line half way up thats the wear limit. I bought my 9" bosch angle grinder for pence because it was dead and it was just needing new brushes.

Not used it in anger yet, should be good though, I've a makita vac so i'm hoping for a nice marriage and minimal dust when i do

Sounds like one of the brushes isn't contacting properly. probably just worn down. Though maybe try slapping the sides few times in case it just not sliding due to dust. If its not the version with easy access to brushes you'd have to take the case off but changing brushes usually straight forward

or just clean and put new brushes in

I've got the same and was about to recommend it. Still made in Japan and you can feel the quality. I got a used makita wall chaser the other day. Made in 2019 IN ENGLAND! What time warp did that come out of i wonder.

Anything fabricating with metal. I particularly wanted it to cut sheet metal up for teaching my kids welding as its so much quicker and quieter than using an angle grinder which i've always got by with along with a chop saw.

Not sure how they compare the IKEA ones but I've been buying multiple £1 bags from the till at B&Q, must be over 30 by now, using them as reusable rubble sacks. They stay open so I can throw things in, they hold as much plasterboard as i can carry, they rarely tear and i've had no failures of...

the ones like that i've seen are thin canvas, no base, weak zips and doesn't have the flopping open benefit. I'm ok with what I have anyway, I would like one of those bags though if anyone has a spare. But i was mainly curious what happed to them

Bit rich for me that but some hipster in London is probably riding around with on saying its steam punk

Even for doing just my house I've got separate bags, one for electrical, one for plumbing and a bigger general one. I guess why these used to be called carpenters/plumbers bags is because its not (or wasn't) a great big array of tools for those. I ended up buying a Nerrad pipe bender bag and...

Rave reviews from just a few years ago. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tool-Traditional-Hessian-Plumbers-Carpenters/dp/B08H5L1ZZ9#customerReviews now the style of bag has vanished from sale

I never had to dump them on the floor when i had one of those old bags, opening wide as they do, they form a movable floor covering where the tools are laid down between using them. Most of the work we were doing was industrial and quite often repetitive like one place we installed maybe 50...
