thanks for all your help & replies guys, much appreciated! I've checked a few places for pumps but there are so many that it's almost impossible to figure out what to buy, looking at Grundfos alone there are at least 20 different models all in 130mm range :eek: If i could please get some...

Thanks for the quick replies guys, much appreciated! My boiler is an old Glowworm Ultimate 40 FF and the guy that fitted the pump said you can’t get pumps for them anymore or my fittings were different, and the pump was supposedly a reconditioned pump.......

Hey all, few days ago my boiler stopped working, checked it today and found it had blown fuse on the wall, changed it, boiler turns on but shuts down 30 seconds later. I felt the pump to see if it was turning and nothing, opened the screw to check if it’s jammed and it’s not. Thought maybe the...

Hi all, hope i can get some advice on repainting our front door, i was 99% sure our door was made of wood but the other half insisted it was metal, to prove her point she took the sander to the door to show me! As far as i can tell this door has a wooden core in the center and is cover by metal...

yup i'm just thankful that it happened when i was awake and for once not ****ed that my gym buddy was late this morning! Think i need to look at some of those pointy hammers that break glass and attach them to the sides of windows in all the rooms upstairs. Still though with buildings regs...

the orange cable was a 1 gang trailing extension which was connected directly to the power outlet on the wall, on that trail extension i had the 6 gang extension connected to it (black cable). Both of these had their cables out of the way from foot traffic as i had them in the cupboard under the...

Hey all, id appreciate some advice on a new extension cable after a fire incident this morning at 5am! Thank goodness my gym buddy was 10min late this morning or i would have come back to a burnt down house! I have no idea how or why my extension caught fire this morning as the stuff that's...

I appreciate all the advice guys! I will post a pic of the boiler when i get home. Agile, you commented on the pump thing, i know that the LL changed this himself probably 2yrs ago, and i have no idea if he knew what he was doing or not, lol! Will post a pic of the pump as well.

oh ok, so that would just be the one rad then, although i'm leaning towards to replacing it as i don't want to be dealing with another failure a few weeks/mths later!

Thanks for the replies guys, i do appreciate the comments re the LL but at a £200 saving per mth on the rent compared to the going rate i'd just put up with his crap as this just helps me save more towards my own home & being here over the last 4-5yrs i've managed to save a decent amount that...

Hi all, i need some advice please on how to go about solving my issues with burst radiators. I have had all 6 rads in this house now fail towards the bottom of them in a period of around 6mths, each 1 going down a few weeks or months later. Only 1 rad has not failed and i put this down simply to...
