Thanks very much.

I"m still pondering whether to get a generator (for emergency use only) but I'd like to get an expert (not some glorified sales person) to visit my property and so get some good, unbiased advice and recommendations as to the type that's suitable for me and where to place it. I have an old, very...

Have looked in the manual and online but so far can only see the heating related output, but what is the electric power consumption likely to be?

Thanks all, yes it's plastic. Seems like the closest is 36mm. It's not glued anywhere, just a push fit. It's about 25 years old. Can't seem to find a 3m length of that anywhere. I suppose I could make an adapter, therefore remove the existing 36mm pipe, get a 3m length of 40mm pipe, cut off...

I need to replace a 3m length of waste water pipe (it takes water from the shower) but the outside diameter of my outdoors pipe seems to be 37mm. Yet I can't find 37mm online ....... is that not made any more?

Thanks, will take a look at them.

I should add that the timer/control panel is a Drayton LP522

This started happening a few days ago, it's random - boiler switches on for a while and then switches off, even though the timer hasn't kicked in. Timer lights are NOT on when this happens. Timer issue perhaps? Or something else? The boiler is a Danesmoor 15/19

Just to say - it worked! Thanks a lot, that's been bugging me on and off for years. :)

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful - I'll study that and have another look tomorrow and report back here. :)

One of my UPVC doors is over 20 years old, for years it's had a problem where the upper 'barn door window' doesn't 100% stay fully closed in one upper corner. The door also faces south and flexes a little in the heat of the sun which means that the severity of the problem varies. It's the type...

I have some mats like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09S3NW4GR they are on carpet and of course slip, slide and buckle up a fair bit. What's the best way to prevent this? Some suitable double sided carpet tape, or is there anything better? Does anyone have any particular recommendations?

Thanks, useful to know.

Prior to me bridging L and L1 I've been looking at the wiring diagrams for the new fan (AXS100T). It's interesting to note that the other fan (the Remotely Switched AXS100, which I don't have), if wired up with double pole isolating switch, needs a fuse on the live connection. However with the...

On the other hand my wife thinks that when the original fan used to be turning on okay via the light switch it was also immediately turning off via the light switch (so no timer operation). She could well be correct ......... (she used the shower room a lot more than me, I've always preferred to...

I think I may have done that on my first wiring attempt - I read the 'L1' incorrectly (didn't have my glasses on) and put the black wire into L1 and the red into L. Thankfully nothing bad happened. :) Thanks. If time allows tomorrow I'll try bridging L and L1 and report back. Unfortunately I...

There was a very short stub of wire left in the SL screw terminal in the original fan - the stub is so short that it can barely be seen. As the live wire goes into L on the new fan and L1 has no wire, if I bridge L and L1 in the new fan is there any risk of anything going wrong - blowing a fuse...

Thanks both of you, it sounds simple enough to wire L to L1 so I'm tempted to give that a try, but also perhaps contact an electrician to look into it all just to check the wiring for that part of the circuit. I guess that as it's wired right now it's perfectly safe in the sense that I've...

Thought it best to make a new thread given that some of the circumstances have changed, this new thread continues on from the following: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/shower-room-extractor-fan-used-to-turn-on-and-off-via-the-light-switch-but-now.644656/ So I installed a replacement fan -...

Thanks, think I'll take it down and investigate. :) Appreciate the help you've given as well as that from everyone else in this thread.
