What ho one and all, When I built our house, I installed a Flexit L4X (sometimes labelled as Helios KWLC 350) ventilation and heat recovery unit. Has been working fine for 12 years. Recently, when it comes on, the upper Alarm LED on the control panel is illuminated; according to the...

Thanks for the rapid response. Can a basin waste sealing washer be bought separately? What a about Plumbers Mate around the edge of the top flange? Thanks for the link; that seems to be the way to go. Had to fit a whole new waste on another basin where the flanged top was tarnishing; what a...

What ho one and all, Fitting a replacement wash basin; annoyingly, it is a few mm smaller that the one I have removed so will require some silicone 'remodelling' to fill the gaps. But that is a different issue. Am using the original pop-up waste fitting as the visible part inside the basin is...

Thanks for the thoughts. I have not checked but think the DC connectors are the same size. and not been informed that have to return the old router. since John Lewis are quitting the broadband/phone side of the business, I doubt they will want a three year old router back. But I do like the...

Thanks for your reply. The one on the right is the current; left will be new so unfortunately, the old transformer is only 1A and the new is 1.5A

What ho one and all, I am changing my broadband supplier from John Lewis to PlusNet. As it happen, JL sourced their broadband from PlusNet, which as you probably know, is part of BT. However, PlusNet have supplied a new router with associated transformer. Although the poser cable is...

You bet! Have one of Rishi's magic money trees growing in the garden.

Thanks for the replies. I know it would be better to get the longer and just have a 'denser' display, which is probably what I will do. Was thinking that the cable from the last bulb to the plug-in transformer is only a twin core so does not seem to be too challenging to reduce the length...

What ho one and all, Want to buy some multi-coloured, mains powered string lights to put around a tree for Christmas. Built-in timer (8 on 16 off) essential. Having difficulty finding a 15m length of lights (may be 20m overall) but have found this...

Thanks for your reply. Not actually living in the new place at the maoment, but will check when I go around later.

Thanks very much. Do I assume that your use of the word 'code' is my code or the engineer code (7890)?

What ho one and all, I have just taken possession of a maisonette that has (I believe) a Scantronic 9100 alarm beside the front door. The model is based upon internet searching until I found an image that looks right. It still works fine but I would like to replace the battery. Have found...

Yes, they are. The one I have removed seems to have a normal looking fuse with another 'cap' covering each end, to which the lead is soldered. I have been trying to remove the cap but I'm sure I will distort them, making them unusable. I will try to solder a short length of copper to the side...

Thanks for your reply. Guess I did not think it through regarding why the fuse has blown. But the fuse is on the power input side of the board so I assume that the current is only going in one direction. The fuse in the plug was fine. I made an executive decision and have bought a pack so...

What ho one and all, I have an small ultra-sonic cleaner that I use for cleaning my glasses. Unfortunately, it has stopped working so before discarding, I thought about a repair. Opening, and I find the internal fuse has no continuity. It is a 5mm x 20mm and has the marking F5 and F1L250V...

Thanks. Just slightly daunted by the amount of work; around 2.4m high and 10m long. Fortunately, most of it just needs a wire brush. When I say 'sealing', it was a 'breathable' masonry paint, just to make it a grey wall rather than the random coloured red brick.

What ho one and all, I have a brick cavity boundary wall (it is mine) that originally, was the wall to the garage. The neighbours side is fine (that was the external wall) but my side (it was the internal) is not so good. The wall is now external on both sides. My side, many of the bricks...

Thanks. Don't know what the power supply voltage is, but having found units with the same DBXQ03B designation, 3v seems correct. Of course, the problem could be a broken connection inside the handle so perhaps releasing a few screws to investigate is the way forward.

What ho one and all, Kinda trivial question. I have a cross cut saw and the handy, laser projected line is not working. eBay searching show many available and some even the correct diameter, but ............! The non-working one has DBXQ03B on the side. One that I can find are listed as...

Agreed the gas valve may be faulty. But this is not the first time it has happened, as as with previous times, I have removed the flame end, cleaned it with a bit of fine wet and dry, cleaned all around the fitting and replaced, and it works first time. While I have no way of knowing, I...
