    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...

    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

    https://www.grantuk.com/products/oil-fired-boilers/vortex-boiler-house/ Sure Grant can confirm if it isn't in the installer manual on that web page... Oh but it is there and says the range is 50C-75C

    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...

    Zanussi double over tripping RCD

    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...

    Car fag lighters

    We mostly seem to know what ones look like. We need to see you brothers' plug and socket. This is the 'plug' I meant: ISO 4165 and from German military WW2 vehicles originally...

    Car fag lighters

    Those sockets came in two 'internal' diameters --- hence the removable red plastic part on some of those shown in the link I provided. In the (unlikely) event the Volvo cigar lighter socket had such a narrower centre the adapter pictured would be unable to reach the centre conductor. (Was it...

    Setting up a WIFI mesh

    Do it properly. Run ethernet cables and use switches plus wifi access points when needed for the truly mobile devices. WiFi and Powerlines will always be variable feasts. WiFi in particular is subject to local interference / congestion from other nearby dwellings. A quality Mesh network will...

    How to temporarily cover grab handle threads?

    Plastic dome head caps to fix over them? Typically black but you may find white. Silicone into place. Or wrap self-amalgamating 'rubber' tape round and round to have a softer lump. Or fashion something to cover the remains of the bolt using Milliput white epoxy putty... smooth off with a...

    Honeywell T40 replacement stat suggestions

    OK so the OP had best re-wire his boiler control system at both ends of that cable to have Line, switched Line and CPC. Reducing choice of thermostat. Or run a replacement 3-core+cpc between the two locations if a neutral is needed for the chosen wired thermostat. Or go wireless thermostat...
