    Alternator Repair

    If it worked OK previously why do you think there might be anything wrong with the external wiring?

    Alternator Repair

    So am I. In the photo is the bit on the right rotated relative to the other bit? And the brush holder turned over? If the rectifier goes where it seems to, have bolts been put back in? The part with fins looks like a rectifier. The Valeo website refers to a regulator, but if it has one maybe...

    Alternator Repair

    Alternators I used to work on years ago, the rectifier had soldered connections, but the regulator had screwed terminals. If yours is like that changing the regulator isn't a soldering job. I suppose these days it might have a combined rectifier/regulator, you can tell if you dismantle it.

    Trump doesn't like Pope Leo.

    As the Pope has no divisions (not counting his Swiss Guard ;)) that's a bit of a no-brainer.

    Trump doesn't like Pope Leo.

    To quote Josef Stalin - "How many divisions has the Pope?"

    Poor hot water system.

    Is there a cold water storage tank (CWST)? Most likely in the loft. Is the system fully pumped on the primary side, or gravity to the HW cylinder? Are there any motorised valves? The pump would be on the secondary side. Whether the rest is pumped depends on where the pump is. A sketch of the...

    If it's just the tube, can't you just replace it?

    Alternator Repair

    Are you sure the alternator has a built-in regulator? In many modern cars the voltage is controlled by the engine management computer (by varying the field current, same as with built-in)

    On the subject of corrections, this is what I think you meant ;)

    Do I have a gravity system or pumped & is it C/S plan?

    Artichoke And Other Foods Said To Aid Weight Loss

    Sauerkraut only needs readily available ingredients. I fancied trying kimchi but specialist shop ingredients needed. Never tried kombucha or kefir.

    Understanding room thermostats, saving on heating

    He didn't give the combi output, but they're usually around 30kW, enough to give reasonable HW flow, or what's the point? Unlikely that's the reason for the low flow. Same here!

    Understanding room thermostats, saving on heating

    Why a surprise? The flow depends on the mains pressure and the height of the CWST. Sounds like the CWST is on the low side and can't be raised, so more often than not mains would be better. But it should have checked to make sure the change is worthwhile.
