Hi S, I've never changed before, and it seems daunting. I even missed the fix that was possible a couple of days ago. I'll perhaps look into it. Thanks, C.

Hi M, Ok, on the pilot light, I'm clinging to straws here, but maybe it's warming the water a bit, as it in the same vicinity as the flames. Anyway, it doesn't make that much difference really. That draft thing has always been a problem, with cold air coming under the door, and sausage dogs...

Hi J, The gas pices went up yesterday, so I'm not sure what they are today, but I think they were 11p/KWh (plus standing charge) (see above) I think some of the inefficiency is heat exchanged up the chimney, but ignoring that I think I use app 5000/year, so it looks like from an economic view...

Hi M, Earlier you can see that a pilot light uses app 3m3/week, so in the summer, that's wasted, but as it goes up a chimney, in the cantre of the house, in the winter, I doubt much heat gets out of the chimney pot, so it kind of heats the house. I try not to use the stove, for that reason, but...

Hi, As mentioned the boiler is fine, but also as mentioned, it isn't efficient. Where does the inefficiency go? Anyway, I'm looking at buying a new boiler, but first I'd like to see how long it would take to pay back the cost. I think my boiler is about 70% efficient. On cold days I light a...

Hi, C.

Hi, I'm going to keep the bulkhead, as suggested, and seal it from the 'cab' as it's hard to insulate windscreens etc. When you consider how much battery is in a hybrid, I won't be able to use it, so I have to add leisure batteries, for power and light. Also when I converted the last van to a...

Hi R, I had 2x sherpas, 2CAs and a laundry transit, and the sliding doors were great. I did nearly die a couple of times in the transit, in the winter before it was converted :( Don't forget Routmaster buses! I was coming back from Scotland with a bearing demonstration CA van, hydraulic...

Hi M, Too pessimistic, raise your dewpoint. No, Just the minimum. for a night or two. C.

HI L, I had 2x Sherpas from the P.O. strong bulkhead, with sliding doors. C.

Hi M, It would still drip with the bulkhead removed. I'm used to converting motorhomes: Insulation, heating and ventilation :) C

Hi A, I'll leave the e-call button, then, I'd hate to miss my dinner.

Hi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_tracking_system C.

Hi C, Yes, I'm pretty sure! I have one, so I'll look for the socket and see. This car is a hybrid, but can be held on electric if a button is pressed, say it's run out of petrol. If it is held on electric for too long it goes into the bottom end of the charge, which wear the battery out too...

Hi A, Maybe a smaller table with smaller plates ;) I'm just off to look at kitchen units, to get some ideas, or perhaps buy some 2x1 for a short stud wall. C

Hi A, Here's an artists impression: It's not roomy, but the table plus all of the units, plus the sink, is in the adjoining 3mtrx3mtr kithen. C

Hi M, I was refering to anyone who calls another thicko, or anything else offensive, it's just not necessary. This is why I don't use Twitter. Since I asked the original question, I have bought a car, to find that I have a choice of share or not. I'm fairly sure the DATA is stored by the car...

Hi F, Similar to a single washing machine kitchen unit with 'say' 6 to 9 inches gap at the side for washing powder. No kitchen unit top, but just a timber top. There's a wall on one side and I was thinking I'd add a stud wall at the other making the sides up. I'm not sure about how the door...

Hi M, Yes, I'm sure 'they' can connect when they want really, but hopefully won't till there's a good reason? C

Hi, I've just opened up a utility and a toilet and a coal bunker room to make one 3mtr x 3mtr square room with large window, separated from the kitchen by a chimney breast. I want to make this into a kitchen dining room, but there's a washing machine in one corner, that has to be hidden. I...
