Think of a 240v socket in your house. It can provide any current from 0 to 13A without you having to worry about it. Presumably, you don't get paranoid when you plug in Christmas tree lights or a fan heater in the SAME socket!

I've found the Azatom sound quality, including bass, better than average for a small DAM radio. The I-Star in our bathroom is small and great but I note that it's no longer current, so the SoloB1 seems the equivalent.

I’ve concluded that Vaillant went through a bad time 8-12 years ago and their boilers during that window have more faults than the norm.

It depends if you want the business.

Borrow the money then.

I’d save up until you can get a plumber to freeze the pipe and fit a new tap.

Lubricant won’t work. Use a very small mallet to repeatedly tap the pin until it springs out. Long term don't screw down the TRV unless you are prepared to open it every couple of months.

I could not use anything other than a metal blade.

Looks like a Geberit. Close seat and use Allen key behind the pin. I turned mine round to make access easier.

I’d use pea gravel

Fitted an Anker Roav C1 five years ago to my Ioniq. Very happy with it. Wiring was straight forward... The rubber door seal was the most difficult part as it needs plying back with the supplied crowbar but it eventually went it. I almost routed the cable under the glove box but like the OP I...

I use a metal blade as I have to deal with heavy vegetation. Standard Stihl head protection used and gloves.

I had a Vaillant gas failure code. I reset the boiler, it fired up and the error didn’t come back.

I had a bad experience with my 8 year old Ecotec but the later models appear to be more reliable.

Hans Grohe and Combi works great for us.

We’ve owned an Ioniq PHEV since 2019 and it’s been great. 30 mile range on battery which means all our local trips and then 600 mile hybrid range for longer trips. Long term would not like to use the granny charger. Had a tethered charger fitted when we bought it.

The EV point installer will connect the separate RCB and lead before your consumer unit so it shouldn’t be touched.

For wired cameras use power over Ethernet (POE). You’ll need either a Poe switch (a little more expensive than a normal one) for multiple cameras or a Poe injector for just one.

Our four ring gas hob will need replacing and am considering an induction but my partner isn’t convinced. As I am weighing up the pros and cons (running costs, ease of use, move away from gas primarily) I would welcome thoughts from those that have done the switch (or not).
