EEK!!! Currently it is wired Brown (Live) to T1 Blue (Neutral) to T2 Green/Yellow marked wire -> not the earth (cpc) terminal but -> T3 = Switched Live (call for heat to boiler) So that needs re-sleeving as brown (or red) to indicate it is a switched Live wire!! The world is your Oyster as...

I have swapped the microswitch on those heads (or BG branded equivalent) a few times for the late in-Laws. Often seems to be a sticky grease off the drive that clogs up the actuator of the switch so some cleanup / isopropyl on a cotton bud can sort temporarily. The Burgess microswitch is as...

Yes you can - but I'd choose a better brand like Bosch/Neff/Siemens myself. Buy cheap, buy twice. Edit Google AI suggests that Lamona dishwashers are not made by one single manufacturer; they are an own-label brand for Howdens Joinery, which sources appliances from various manufacturers like...

I read IMMersion 1 on LH RCD and IMMersion 2 or RH RCD So find the HW tank and post a pic of tank wiring / switches / any labelling. Immersion heaters often fail with a short between the heating filament and the earthed outer jacket. The faulty one will need replacing (that'll be fun, not)...

Over 8 months later and still not fixed this? The supplied part number (post #19) gasket clearly has embedded metal clips near the 4 corners in this web picture https://www.partscentre.co.uk/electrolux-oven-door-gasket-3871945105.html

Only tried my GT60 for recording... freesat and freeview tuners... Only allowed ONE to be used for recording at any time and then you couldn't access the other for live viewing (doh!). It did allow replay of a recording while making another recording via the tuner {which is more than any VHS...

Only currently made retail PVRs are: Freeview: Humax Aura, Manhattan T4R Freesat: freesat 4k recordable BT, now EE, Pro box is in theory rented (like $ky Q and Virgin cable boxes) and should be returned at end of a Contract; but they appear on the second user market. No need for a BT/EE...

No point attenuating without eliminating that Distribution Amplifier and having a direct connection as it is mainly to check for possible signal overload (again). On the other hand something so unpredictable and happening so infrequently may not be worth the effort of trying to trace it...

Back to first principles. Aerial direct to this new TV cable using a joiner. Still doing it : trying some attenuation in bit by bit process of elimination of stuff... 4dB, 6 dB, 10 dB. If nothing fixes it that way then it's electrical interference most probably. If it's random electrical...

Not sure that is true... $ky Q afaik uses its own 'mesh' type hidden wifi to connect the Q minis to the main box. Main box ideally wired, or Wifi or Powerline connected to modem-router. My mesh units allow device(s) to be connected via ethernet cable and then (hidden) wifi to other units and...

What is the existing router-modem-wifi point make and model? Some can support mesh wifi add-on units to work with existing WiFi. Alternatively a WiFi mesh system with main unit wired to router (and router wifi disabled) could be the way to go? But may well be more than you seem to wish to...

MY original build concrete / screed / tiles UFH is a pita... partly cos it's an oil boiler, partly cos they didn't know what they were doing so have cold spots and small rooms with inadequate heat (utility and downstairs loo). I'd have proper radiators any day (as is in the upstairs zone)...

House cats = you can keep them indoors for up to 24 or even 48 hours while a glyphosate spray on weedkiller dries fully. (Instructions suggest only a few hours is needed but you may wish to allow longer). Weed seeds will still infest any seeded lawn sooner or later.

+1 Most such valves have o ring seals. WD40 (or any other brand) petroleum-based lubricant make the "rubber" o rings swell and fail. Other WD40 branded lubricant products are probably OK... silicone, ptfe, graphite... As to whether they will help to unstick the seized part is open to debate.

We've had three HP condenser dryers. Our Miele is good in that the filtering is excellent (as long as one cleans them as directed)... but it tangles a bedsheet / quilt if on the 'delicate' setting - it doesn't reverse as much as it ought. In normal setting it's OK. Another brand we had...

THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN AIR BUBBLE in that cylinder !!!!! Don't keep playing with the PRV, just close it firmly. Set the EV pressure right with hot tap open to release water in EV and all might come good. Or not. The PRV may continue to let by and need replacing. Call in an expert to service...

The "portable aircon" has to run at 1kW (approx 26p/kWh) but 24 hours for the full 7 days to get to £43.40 Stupid, stupid ignorant lazy Journalism by an illiterate. OR Arificial Ignorance. NB Those numbers are, BBC states, from USwitch data... so not sure who is the more stupid as neither...

Unvented cylinder can have an air bubble to accommodate the HW expansion via air compression ... mine is an OSO brand, Megaflo make them, too. That can also have a separate pressure vessel that does the same via a 'rubber membrane' separator and air pumped into it... In my case OSO say when...

Clues? What is the Win11 info from each m/c? My HP lappy says under Settings, Windows System, About, Windows specification... Under windows update I have get the latest immediately ON https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/windows11-release-information has the M$ version...

Utter nonsense. I installed hundreds, if not thousands, of TV studio luminaire using Tungsten Halogen lamps. They were designed to be 3200K at full voltage 240V dimmer 10 and gave circa 2700K at dimmer fader 7 at which the cameras were lined up. I think it allowed +/- 2 stops of light...
