East Yorkshire. Will try the manual method and hopefully that manages the problem until it can be fixed. :)

Many thanks for the replies. The installer company is closed until Jan 2nd. :(

Thanks for the reply. It's wireless control - Viessmann 100. The control unit shows that it is calling for heat, and the wireless light occasionally flashes. I also re-paired it with the boiler.

Yes, that works! All rads heat up. After setting it back to 'off' the rads cool down again. I can see that is just a test mode so I then checked the burner output setting and it is already on the maximum of 74%.

Hello, I have one of these combi-boilers - two months old. Some time during last night the heating stopped working. Hot water still works. Pressure gauge shows zero. Following the steps in the installation manual I closed the two heating valves, put the boiler into fill mode and refilled the...

Thanks for the replies. We had our bathroom remodeled four weeks ago. The contractor didn't mention anything about it. I would assume they used this valve. I don't know the history of the valve unfortunately.

Sorry for such a basic question. The cupboard with the hot water tank and the cupboard with the non-combi boiler are a mess of copper piping and I am trying to make sense of it. I want to replace a washer in a downstairs hot tap. There is a pipe that goes to the loft. This pipe has a valve in...

I have a three year old Hotpoint washing machine. After a full day's laundry it is sitting in perhaps half a cup of water on the floor, directly underneath. I took the top off and I put some detergent in the drawer then ran it on rinse cycle. When finished I looked from the top and the bottom...

Update: at the start of September 2015 we got an electrician out. He replaced the entire panel with all RCBOs. In the nearly 14 months since then... not a single circuit trip. No problems on any circuit whatsoever. Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. I am very glad to have this annoying...

I have a concrete freestanding coal bunker with a large plywood lid. The plywood is rotted and water is leaking in, so I need to renew the entire lid. The current lid is held on with two hinges bolted into the concrete top. The previous owner covered the plywood in tar paper and just overlapped...

Thanks for the replies. There is one empty space on the panel but it's so old it's not possible to get anything for it's particular form factor anymore apparently... I was hoping there was some clever way of combining lots of patience with spending a modest amount to get a smoking gun when...

Thanks for the reply John. Electrics = waterfall = oxygen for fish. If I leave it unplugged for five months it doesn't prove anything because I've gone six months between RCD trips before. :? So far the pond RCD has never tripped on it's own. Yes, stupid previous owner brought it into a...

Old house with a 1960s fuse box and RCD. Since we bought the place the main RCD (but not the circuit breakers) randomly trips. Getting tired of it and no idea how to proceed. Typically it trips once every few months. It did it today. It last did it three weeks ago, twice in a row separated by...

I have a large, detached Victorian (solid walls). The CH has been flushed and the boiler serviced. The heating switches off at 9pm. Between 9pm and 7am the temperature in the house drops four to five degrees. The next morning the heating switches on, however on a day like today (3.5C...

Ridgid gave me a one line answer "You will need a power inverter".

OK, I will contact Ridgid. Interestingly 110V/50Hz is the power supply used in Barbados. I wonder if they have problems obtaining routers? Andy

So far I haven't found a reasonably priced trim/laminate router in the UK that accepts precision collets for low runout. I'm still looking though. I posted on here looking for feedback. What is your opinion? There seems to be two clear camps of thought. Those that think it will kill the...

:lol: :lol: Thanks for the advice on wiring it up. Andy

Thanks, yes, I understand that. I have some CNC-related accessories that are specific to this router that will be expensive/difficult to replace. For £22 I'm willing to take the risk in running the wrong frequency. Any thoughts on how it can be connected up? Thanks, Andy

I have a router I brought from the US. It doesn't have an earth pin, only a live and neutral. Requires 650W. I will be using it in my shed. I am looking at getting a step-down transformer. Cost of a 1000W one is £70 and the product descriptions are a bit vague about continuous use...
