    PCB plug advice needed

    I suspect one need pictures of the PCB (with a scale alongside) and or the PCB ID numbers. Pin diameter and length and spacing will be critical, usually. CPC Farnell and RS Components might stock a range that could fit?

    RJ45 to USBC

    What sat nav map download was that? What car make? With my Ford Galaxy the bottleneck was always their servers rather than my ISP / BT Openreach FTTC service; and my home wifi was never an issue. IIRC the downloads took well in excess of two hours for a file around the 25GB mark. The...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    Then you can't change the storage heaters. They are not your property and would need to restore the flat to 'original condition' when moving out. Same goes for the shower pump suggestion; permissions may be sought but they may require a 'trusted trader' to do the work? Same goes for the...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    Do you own or part-own, as in shared ownership, this flat? If owned why do you need Housing Association input/approval? If part owned then it makes better sense. I'd suggest that a larger capacity unvented HW storage tank (170 l or even 210 l) is another option to give a proper shower at...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    https://www.securemeters.com/uk/product/discontinued-products/economy7-quartz/ has both the User and Installation Manuals for you to read ... the E7 times should be preset correctly but who knows? (ON time between 4.5 and 7 hours and between 23:30pm 09:00 and affects the bottom element only)...

    finding a connector for my camera

    BNC Plug... 75 ohm or 50 ohm, though? Read the camera manual / specs ... the BNC centre pin is a different size -- so ensure the right one is used. {Most likely domestic a/v / security camera is 75 ohm but... } You can buy ready made 75 ohm BNC plug RG59 cable leads - which is likely to be...

    Ceramic hob wont work properly

    https://powerpointappliances.ie/products/p154mdtc-powerpoint-ceramic-hob/ Manual there says E0 = (Error Zero) = Reinsert the connection between the display board and the power board. Replace the power board. So it may be faulty out of the box?

    Double Flush Valve Washer Replacement—Part Number needed

    Alternative is to replace the whole valve mechanism... e.g. https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-2-dual-flush-valve/198pw or something like that. Much more difficult than searching online for a mechanism that looks the same or taking the removed item to a proper plumbers merchant or two for an...

    Double Flush Valve Washer Replacement—Part Number needed

    https://www.plumbers-mate-sales.co.uk/replacement-washer-seals-for-flush-valves-91-c.asp It should be softish/pliable rubber/silicone. It will pull off the plastic part. Then you can measure/compare with the selection from one supplier, above. There are other suppliers. It's possible...

    Random loss of TV signal

    Would be better in a separate thread? LCN 1 & 2 - SD? Watch 101 and 102 in HD instead. (HD mux also carries ITV1, C4 and C5 HD).

    Random loss of TV signal

    Oh dear. Probably the worst choice possible. At least it's indoors and not being used for DC power to an amplifier. RF loss wise it's perfectly OK. My gut says a boiler stops firing with a big splat (gas valve/oil burner pump) and then 20 s later the circulating 'over-run' pump cuts out with...

    Slow filling toilet

    I suspect you have not done the bit in bold properly they can be a slight pain to do, even when you have done them before (I have the T-shirt).. https://shop.siamp.co.uk/videos had a "how to change the inlet valve diaphragm" video.

    Grant Vortex Boilerhouse 15-26 kW Boiler

    Cistern issue.

    I did say the link was not to a pdf file... Wickes need a nudge to correct that link ;) Fill valve diaphragm washer is a doddle to change and cheap. Just unscrew the end between inlet valve and flush valve to access. Changing the entire unit needs much greater plumbing skills...

    Cistern issue.

    Slow fill usually means the fill valve diaphragm has a hole and needs replaced... Turn off water first! Ask in Wickes for the correct part / item and/or see if you have the paper manuals anywhere? https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Trenton-Easy-Clean-Close-Coupled-Toilet/p/288475 Sheet 2 would...

    Earth leakages from L and/or N to earth will be cumulative... Mineral insulated heating elements may as they age start to leak to earth, seals fail they become hygroscopic and the elements move in the insulation with expansion / contraction. Other devices may/will have deliberate leaks to...

    Smart Heat economy 7 controller

    Isolate, open up, and see what is inside? It may have more useful makers names and model/part numbers that can be searched for. (Smart Heat as a search term is practically useless for this case). Pictures of the boxes by storage heaters and the meter install with 'black box' may also be...
