    Internal bubble expansion

    No idea. The OSO commissioning valve is also the secondary return location (not fitted on mine) and about 1/2 tank height. The T&P valve is nearer 3/4 from bottom. Oso say my 210 litre nominal can hold 250 litres if the HW dip pipe is removed and an external pressure vessel installed. The...

    Internal bubble expansion

    Indeed they are. But many people would skip that step 2. With the T&P valve open (45 degree twist) you should hear 'gurgling' that will be fast at start and then slow -- gurgling and water flowing out should stop eventually. Will take some time as the air gets in via the T&P valve to the...

    Internal bubble expansion

    Step 2 in the instructions of the manual applies, surely? :unsure: Not that I bother with my OSO air bubble unvented. Just wastes a fair bit of hot water. If I remember I replenish the bubble on return from a holiday away (and it's been long enough since the last time).

    Induction hob trips RCD

    But you did. :notworthy: I merely repeated it to try to reinforce the point to the OP who is ignoring the advice given... and not only by you (and I)! :eek:

    Random loss of TV signal

    Lets assume the last 3-way amplified splitter had +8dB gain. Any two-way splitter is -4 dB loss. Nett +4 dB over the 66 dB from aerial = 70dB. Again, the potential for overload on the new super-sensitive set... You've marginally helped to lower signal level with the new box but not enough...

    Induction hob trips RCD

    Hob faulty. Disconnect it and get it replaced immediately. Do not use without an earth connected. Note most hobs have electronic controls and that electronics uses power even when all the "burners" are off. Likely that controller or some radio frequency interference suppressor component has...

    Random loss of TV signal

    OK, for the PM'd postcode Wolfbane predicts 58 dBuV/m field strength at 10m (rooftop) level from CP. 61dBuV/m field from Guildford. Both have nominally clear line of sight between the aerials (excluding any trees or buildings). Freeview (BBC spectrum planners) are all Green 100 or 99% of...

    Random loss of TV signal

    I may well know said person (in a professional capacity) in either BBC Research or EID/Reception Advice. It was part of my job to use such kit at one time (90s) and advise trade and public on reception matters. Full Postcode? One within 100 yards of your own (or metres) for a shop, pub...

    Electric VW so cheap.....why

    Unlikely to be easy or quick nor cheap. SpeakEV.com is the forum to ask on / trawl to see if it has been done.

    Bulb ID

    Need to dig out the manuals and any wiring diagrams for the boat. Find all the breakers and fuses and check. A multimeter will be an invaluable tool to have / learn to use. NB I'd not bet on there being any cover / diffuser missing https://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/Item/BA15DBW-2 looks very...

    Washing machine advice

    Better quality shirts? We've ancient poly cotton bed sheets that are fine (BHS). Newer ones are wearing at the folded seams (M&S). Fortunately doesn't affect the functionality of those sheets.

    honeywell controller (onboard battery replacement)

    The battery for the 699 is readily available https://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/replacement-battery-for-honeywell-st699-p-82.html But there are many sources of similar batteries e.g. CPC Farnell once the size and ratings are known from the markings and likely significantly cheaper...

    Insulated Piercing Connector

    Another Henley block fed from the peak side switch and both red tails into that (as already done for the Neutrals) would be one way. Anyone know if the OP was to go on to a single rate tariff would both both tails from the meter be made live 24/7 automatically??? No wiring changes needed then?

    Basin waste nut size help needed

    Turn off H & C water supplies to the basin just in case. Disconnect the waste / trap (looks like you've already done that). Remove basin complete with waste... NB It's likely to be siliconed on to the counter top so needs a suitable thin blade to cut through that sealant all around -- a...

    Good Freeview recorder

    That August brand box is NOT freeview approved/spec AVOID!!! Humax Aura and Manhattan T-4R are the two main players' current models. Aura has more tuners (simultaneous recording capability) than the Manhattan. BT/EE Pro boxes from CeX are well regarded on AVForums but, officially, are only...

    Shutting off water valve in toilet where no valve visible

    To be frank, in a DIY situation, it's probably easier and quicker to isolate whole home. Open cold tap to release pressure and swap the inlet valve. Two of my toilets the isolation valve needs the arms of Twizzle to reach with both arms needed to feel for the slot while guiding it in to use...

    Split Air conditioning….which is best

    Yes avoid. Well the two indoor multi split Fujitsu unit we had sprang a leak and has since been replaced with MHI units. No-one wanted to repair and they were an older f-gas type Note that 20 year ASHPs use very different F-gasses to today's units (and likely simpler compressor / controls) so...

    Kinetico 2020c HF softener help!

    Googling that model found me the "Technical Manual" for it on the kinetico.eu website. Have you had a read of that? It seems pretty comprehensive at a scan-read to my eyes.

    Random loss of TV signal

    Are all the detailed prediction numbers green for all muxes. Gu21 is far too large an area to pontificate on local reception issues and/or field strengths / line of sight / diffracted etc.,. Ideally, connect aerial direct to the Sony using a joiner to see if that cures the problem... i.e. no...
