Ideal are happy to come out for £359 (£99 if they can't fix) but won't touch the boilermate tank. Does this sound sensible?

I've seen this but I guess could be challenging to find someone willing to install my own bought parts? Doesn't seem like this is super DIY friendly from what I've read need to be gas safe etc. or maybe I've missed something?

It's a good idea and I was investigating this today £360 certainly cheaper than PCB and fan but I read some forum posts about them not offering the repairs on boilers older than 10 years so 19 likely pushing it. Will call them tomorrow morning though, good shout!

Our 19 year old boiler has finally gone. PCB + fan busted according to gas engineer diagnosis and some corrosion on casing. Could potentially replace but seems to be £600-700 for both with labour, while a new boiler would be around £2200, seems a better option? Beyond this I've had all kinds of...

Apologies didn't see that this was 10 years old it came up in similar threads...

Also to add, if it's simply not running the first thing to do is to just reset your machine and run a normal cycle. You ened to do this to test if the pump is engaging.

Just had the same problem on our Favorit 35085 VI. I assume you have cleaned your filters. If you reset your machine and run a program, do you hear the pump run? It should be fairly loud. Alternatively you hear a very small hum (which is the pump engaging but not running). If the pump is not...

Thanks, at least I know that it could be worth trying. £15 easy attempt if not I'll probably replace it, I think it might be 17 years old...

I have an AEG/Electrolux Favorit Favorit 35085VI integrated dishwasher. It was working perfectly well until recently. I get 2 beep error code at the end of a program and water pools at the bottom of the dishwasher. When I run it again I can hear a hum from the drain pump, trying to do...

Appreciate it, luckily mine is 60 days! It looks like more of them are 60 now, when I looked a few years ago they were all 30. "Unoccupied: We consider your home to be unoccupied when it is not lived in and not used overnight by you or your family for more than 60 days in a row."

Thanks I'll have a look. And the heating system is fine to be left running with mains off?

I have a Boilermate 0V thermal storage and a boiler. Don't know more than this but could investigate. Going away for 6 weeks. I was planning to leave heating on 15 min morning/evening with thermostat at 15C, water on hot all the time. Do I turn off the main stop cock? Would like to minimise...

Bit of a bigger job. This cable runs power so technically needs a conduit. Easy to open up wall again later when we figure out exactly what we need but ultimately that will be the plan :)

Thanks for the fair warning. It's built for this, it can even go completely flush! Most of the electronics are in a 'one connect' box so not in the TV itself. There's also a 7.5mm gap at the back as the mount has been designed. Wanted to buy it specifically for how close it gets.

Very happy with the results. That Samsung Slim Fit Wall Mount is glorious. Pray for my neck!

My mount doesn't mount centrally, so couldn't use central stud (wooden). Also while plasterboard fixings might work, I've read some nightmare stories so fastening into battens will allow to sleep a little better at night.

Went for 4 battens, pretty sure each of them can hold half of my mate so we'll see tomorrow how it goes! For future reference if anyone is trying to do the same. Used 38x63mm battens (2.4m £4 from B&Q) and 80mm turbodrive screws (2 on each side of each batten). Should have made the...

Ok I got impatient and opened it up. There's a stud (red) in the middle and on the two edges (74 cm apart). Would attaching two (or 4) battens, single or double (green) to this work? This would leave 8 mounting holes. I guess corefix wouldn't be good for this as there's no cavity , would I just...

I am aware of people's dislike of above fireplace mounting, this is what the wife wants so I'll make it happen. For some reason I thought my chimney breast was dot n dab so I went for the corefix solution. Drilling into it however I find it is completely empty, so likely plasterboard followed...

Yes, the angle is not that bad (deep lounge so 4 m away in couch). Think I calculated something like 10 degrees up. We don't really use the fireplace + it's blowing away from the fireplace and there's a mantel, I'll check the heat on the wall when fully on but TV is compatible with 40C. Also...
