    Leaking Radiators

    Could be. If the system was running OK before anyone touched it and it's only leaked since the pressure went up then that's what the problem was. 3 bar is approx 45 psi so if there's any chance of a leak then it will certainly happen then. The puddle of water under the boiler will be from...

    Leaking Radiators

    The recommended pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. At 3 bar the pressure relief valve lifts and lets water (and hence pressure) out of the system. (The puddle underneath your boiler!) Are you sure your plumber knows what he's doing? The pressure should stay fairly constant - rising slightly...

    Just for the hell of it.... I used to have a Victorian house. The guy before me had installed louvre windows. No condensation problems there it was like living in a bl**ding wind tunnel! :shock: It was also like having a big WELCOME sign for burglars (although they must have had bad...

    hair dye-on my door and wall and floor

    Nobody in this forum has yet found a way to remove hair dye from anything. Suggest re-painting door, wall and have nothing to suggest for the floor. :cry: There should be huge warning label on all hair dye bottles stating HAIR DYE STAINS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES - TAKE PRECAUTIONS!!

    How can I get Grout off of my Marble floors???!!

    I'm more than a little concerned that you're using acid to clean marble. If you don't believe me have a look at this http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infxtra/infmur.shtm I would clout your boyfriend round the head and set him to work with nylon scourers and plenty of water. It'll only...

    can they get worse?

    A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named Ralph. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem." Well...

    Combi or Mega flow????

    I think water pressure comes into this as well somewhere along the line. However, the tank is pressurised via a reducing valve so presumably you'd be OK unless the mains pressure was under 3 bar (can this happen?)

    Combi or Mega flow????

    Nobody can really advise you as they don't know what your requirements are. However if you can get hold of some information then you might be able to make yor own reasonable assessment. Here's a link explaining about combi boilers - there's a bit about the mega flow at the end...

    Federation of Master Builders

    My only advice would be to read the warranty cover in minute detail so that you know exactly what you're getting for your money. Some of them only provide cover for design/major structural faults and and are incredibly difficult to claim off. Some things you think would be OK are not covered...

    cooker ignition

    Sounds as though you've just about narrowed it down to a single area. If everything else is OK it must be the HT connection to the electrode. You should be checking for an open circuit on the HT lead (V. High resistance). I can't be specific as I believe that HT leads have a fairly high...
