It is not the element as it does heat on ECO and 30min. It is still useable! I am guessing 1) programmer/timer or 2) the flexible cable/wiring harness, but I cannot find a decent complete wiring diagram. Service manuals available online do not seem to be designed for the fault-finding DIYer...

Thanks! There was indeed 'something there' for each of the lower fixings that needed a clearance hole drilling out. A 2mm pilot did the trick. The upper fixing (there are two screws per bracket) was just into plastic as far as I could make out. Anyway, all sorted now :)

I am after advice if I can drill or not into the locations shown in the pics for mounting roller blind brackets on the back of a Deceuninck door. Will I hit anything critical, and is there likely to be metal reinforcement? Screws are about 1" long. Comments welcome I would ask the...

I currently have this controlling my fully GasSafe installed WB Greenstar 30i... If I purchased this ... Is it possible to unpair my existing thermostat shown top right, and replace/pair with the new programmable thermostat shown bottom right. I understand there could be possible timer...

Nice idea! The old nut on a stick strategy. (With one at both ends if you include the nut holding it......)

I agree! However, based on other installs I have seen, the centre stump reinforces the lower arris rail by fixing to the gravel board. While sag is perhaps less of an issue with the boards supported as shown, there is still the chance of lateral flex. (not my picture)

The installer forgot to fit a centre stump, and I am assuming I will have to do the remedial work. Thanks - looks like toggle fixings are not appropriate then.

I have access to only one side of a concrete gravel board. There is very limited access to the other side (i.e. barely finger reach). Can expanding bolts be used without cracking the concrete? Would a toggle fixing be an option for outdoors? If so, what fixing products might I consider for a...

Thanks! All cut by handsaw, too, even the side panel long cuts :eek:

@RandomGrinch - those button clips would be great with a re-purposed cutdown shelf mounted vertically in front of the mag filter. I sense an imminent Amazon order :cool:

Some good ideas there. Thank you! @foxhole Those keku clips look very interesting. Excellent suggestion! Are they any good in tension, i.e. perpendicular (rather than parallel) to the broad faces of each of the tabs), or is the that particular ABS plastic quite soft & yieldy? On the topic of...

I am modifying a standard larder unit to go around a boiler (see pic: work in progress). The top door is about 1.3metres tall and weighs 9kg (three hinges). The left side panel will be fixed to the rear wall along its back edge, while the right side panel will be fixed with through screws into...

Any ideas 1) How these covers come off? There is a groove feature in the middle of the lower face, which might be relevant. 2) Where I can get some more of this style of cover? I want to add some more cabinets in the same style.

Of course! That model is only 45mm between the nozzle and the top of the sink, and ideally I'd need to find something similar.

This is marvellous! Spot on. Thank you! Searching that part number has opened up more options. Useful website to know about, too. Yep - an appropriately named online stockist replied to my enquiry with "I can’t indentify[sic] this make or model. It is not an Ideal Standard" and in response to...

Anyone know the part number for this tap? It has stylised red/blue 'IS' indices, but my supplier stated that Ideal Standard do not recognise it. I'd like to replace the cartridge if I can.

Page 9 - Cause / Rectification bullet 4 in the user guide I have states 'Renew the thermostatic cartridge', so I was wondering what fault mechanism that might be about. But yep - I was going to take the route you suggest.

If the head is dripping, surely it is the flow cartridge that needs attention (i.e. re-seating or replacement)? The User Guide explicitly mentions the (vastly more expensive) thermostatic cartridge, whereas the (cheaper but harder to obtain) flow cartridge does not get a mention. Hopefully...

I wasn't so lucky! About 40 years ago I did the school stage lighting (.....pupils back then were allowed to climb scaffolding and very tall ladders to hang lights and were also allowed - or it had become at least common practice - to maintain & modify the electrical control system, i.e...

These are rather fun.... https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/blog/retaining-walls-steps/ I am currently building a set of low retaining walls with internal buttresses. I used their free design service. Steps and other customised constructions should be do-able to suit your purposes.
