    Main Eco Compact Combi Boiler

    Looking at the receiver specs of the EPH Combi Pack 4 wireless thermostat, the receiver spec says it's 10(3)A rated. Is that 3A or 10A? what kind of cable should I use to wire it 1mm2 or 1.5mm2?

    Main Eco Compact Combi Boiler

    I've ordered a EPH Combi Pack 4 Wireless Thermostat which I've been told is compatible with this boiler and it's opentherm too. Question regarding opentherm, is there a +/- wire or can the wires from the thermostat receiver's opentherm pins go in any direction to pins 1&2 of the boiler terminals?

    Main Eco Compact Combi Boiler

    Will you be able to guide me which page on the user manual refers to installation of the thermostat? From what I understand a thermostat essentially sends a relay activated switched live to the boiler telling it to turn in right? Could you guide me to the wiring diagram on the boiler end if...

    Creating threads on metal rod

    I'll measure it and take pics tomorrow. It is probably 12mm by the looks of it. Will it be easier to create the thread using the existing thread as guidance without cutting it short at first and then once I've extended thread then cut it short? As @JohnD said hardest part is the start and...

    Creating threads on metal rod

    My existing automatic gear shift stick rod sticks up quite a bit and the gear knob screws on. The gear knob itself is like a nut which screws onto the bolt thread of the rod. I'm thinking if it will be possible to shorten this as there is a big gap between the bottom of the gear knob and the...

    Gas strut question

    I replaced one side gas strut in my boot with a universal type. The length is pretty similar except the new universal one might be a about 8 to 9mm shorter and the stroke is about 10 to 14mm smaller. So on my original strut the stroke is around 210 to 214mm. The new universal strut the stroke is...

    Mini arc stick welding

    Thank you. Is the solid wire inside the electrical solid cables copper? Could I potentially use that from a 2.5mm2 electrical cable and just twist it to tie it up?

    Mini arc stick welding

    Does coat hanger not rust too? I can try that and maybe just dab some high temperature exhaust paint over it to prevent it from rusting lol. I'll give this a shot Thanks

    Mini arc stick welding

    If I was to be able to somehow use a self tapping stainless steel screw to hold up the L plate to the shroud, then all I will have remaining to do is hold the bottom from flapping. I was thinking of drilling a tiny hole and putting something like a paperclip bended back. But if I remember...

    Mini arc stick welding

    Ahh that's what I was worried about. There's not much material so blowing a hole will waste it away lol. Other option is that I could potentially put self tapping metal screw from behind that taps into the metal L plate.

    Mini arc stick welding

    I can remove the bumper to do the work on the tips off the car rather than dropping the silencer I think.

    Mini arc stick welding

    Here are some pics. One the first pic you can see a line like hole and on the second picture is the rear of the tip and you can see the L shaped like metal bracket which was spot welded to that spot where the line hole is so its just come off. And there were two small blobs at the bottom...

    Mini arc stick welding

    The tip is stainless and inside it is another type of metal that is spot welded. Rest of the pipe seems fine just that area broke off

    Mini arc stick welding

    I have integrated exhaust tips that are originally spot welded to a shroud like a tunnel where the exhaust gasses come out of. Problem is one of the tips has rusted metal at the spot weld spot and broken out. There are some cheap mini arc spot welding machines on eBay as low as £45. Can I use...

    Humming loud noisy potterton combi

    Thank you, these Myson trv says 2 way and I read that apparently they work on both flow and return. But regardless I think as good practice they should have installed them on flow. The problem with this noise issue is that my property was a new build around 11 years ago and this noise issue only...

    Humming loud noisy potterton combi

    Here's a pic of the TRV's that I have: So since the pump was replaced, the case vibration noise and the constant humming has gone but I am now getting a really loud rather annoying noise that's really hard to explain. Basically when I turn the heating on, it is super silent unlike before BUT...

    Alternator question

    So I have an update on this now. My new Denso branded alternator arrived. I inspected the Denso one and if i stopped the turbine blade with a flat head screwdriver and rotated the pulley counter-clockwise it spins doing the job of the freewheel clutch. So then I took out the aftermarket one and...
