Thanks for the replies guys. Ill see if i can get to the bottom of this before i go getting an external EV fitted. Its always an idea if it can be fitted out of sight in the cupboard below. For now i thought i would recharge the EV, i pumped air in, let water out radiator bleed valve to lower...

Going way back when i bought the house, it was new 7 years ago, it always lost pressure but it was only needing topped up every few days. So it was tolerated. The builders were a small group and sent an engineer, he replaced the prv, this did not fix the problem, the builders did not send anyone...

thanks guys, i think the prv was replaced a few years back and never fixed the problem. I should have said, water comes out the valve when pressed. There is room to fit an external one but it would look bad as my boiler is housed in a kitchen wall unit. Ill try and post a pic. If i set the...

I have the above boiler. This has been an ongoing problem for a long time. It had been fixed by an engineer a few years ago whilst i had boiler cover, but the repair never lasted. Now i have to top up the pressure a few times a day. The water is being passed out the discharge pipe, i checked...

I have always found my bed too warm but in this house i find myself not warm enough during the night, the temp can drop to 13 deg. I think i need a heavier duvet. So turning the radiator on and off should help to a certain amount. I have been using an online calculator for my gas usage also...

im going to put a curtain over the front door a sits an old wooden one. The loft is insulated but there is also a small bedroom in the loft, unused for years and smelly. There is not much i can do about the insulation its not my house. There is draught excluders on most of the doors.

Thanks for the reply. Is the 4 units of gas im using actually 400, ie include the digits in red? The boiler is a potterton promax he plus. The hall i want a little cooler than the living room as we do go through it to go from room to room. Im going to put a curtain across the old...

Hi guys, i recently moved into this house, its an old bungalow style lodge/ gatehouse type property. Im renting it. I was prepared for the higher energy bills but i lost my job and now i need to minimise the gas im using as this house is using alot of gas per day to keep the place warm. The...

today i had a look at the cupboard door attached to the fridge door, thinking maybe it was not letting the fridge door close properly. It seems i was right, i unscrewed the brackets from the fridge door and it then dropped, it turns out the fridge door was not attached at the bottom hinge and it...

Thanks for the reply, the wee drain hole at the back of the fridge is fine. Is the thermostat phail in where the setting dial is or is it on the back somewhere? As for a defrost i usually defrost the bottom freezer compartment, is a 'full defrost' something more than this? I have not...

I have an intergrated fridge freezer the ignis arl757, a few months ago i had to turn it up to max to get the fridge cold enough, now i have noticed the temperature is no no longer cold enough so it needs fixed. Does this sound like something simple i can fix myself or can anyone give me any...

well its defo a combi instant 105e, the builders must have used older model boilers to save money. i dont want to fit an external expansion vessel so ill look into getting the original one replaced. ill see if the nhbc will entertain a claim as i have a fe other outstanding snags to be...

hi thanks for that i found the faq very helpful, i have found the air valve to leak when the centre pin is pressed in, so it sound slike this may be my problem and this fault has been there since i bought the house but the boiler will be out of warranty and the builders are gone with the wind.

hi my baxi 105e was new 2yr 3 months ago when i bought my new house, i had this problem from day 1 and as the builders ignored my snag list and never finished the sote i still have this problem unresolved. when the Ch is on the pressure goes just beyond the 3 bar and leaks out the PRV, the...

ok thanks for the advice cheers

yes i realise that, i have no idea how long i will be here, i do usually go for quality brand names anyway, ill try and get a decent second hand tap rather than a cheap unbranded one. thanks again

thanks for the info, i may have to bite the bullet and get a new one, maybe try and get a bargain off of ebay as funds are low. I thought no harm asking on here first to see if anyone had a solution. thanks

hi, i have a mono mixer tap in my kitchen and its leaked for ages, i finally got round to removing the tap thinking it would need a new washer but its not that simple. The top of the tap leaks water and the up and down and sideways motion was tight and creaky. I took out the inside parts and...
