Thanks mate. will do. any idea on the age of these boilers?

Hiya. thanks for the reply. fault light? there are no obvious lights on our model.. (just a grey reset switch) they maybe under the cover, but I've not had this off. (corgi or gas safe approved engineer only nowadays I think?) Didn't realise our's didn't have a pilot light, in that case, it...

Hi. We have an issue with the pilot light not staying lit. We have to relight it daily often 2-3 times per day. (we only used h/w only most of summer). Prior to this, we had an issue with it leaking, 5-6 engineer visits to get it resolved - around 3-4 months ago.. Not sure if it's...

Hiya, The washer is on it's first "full" load after 1 empty wash, it's gotta be nearing the end of the cycle and your right, it is alot quieter after a few full RPM spins... If i'm picky, it bounces around a bit while getting upto speed but once spinning it's fine. could just be an uneven...

Hiya mate, thanks for the advice. Turned out was entirely my fault putting it back together while tired & not concentrating. Had a wire not pushed in properly to pressure sensor. this wouldn't let washer get past initial drain part of any cycle. now the drum bearings are done I can hear...

Hi. I hope someone might be able to offer some advice... we have an 8yr old Hotpoint WMA58P washing machine from new. recently it was getting really noisy on spin, so i bit the bullet and ordered a set of drum bearings and thought, while i've got it apart, i'll replace the motor brushes...

I realise this thread is quite old, but still appears on a google search. for anyone else who finds this thread having the same trouble, I had to cut a cross in the head of the bolt with an angle grinder, between a big hammer, some wd40 and a foot long flat head screwdriver on its side to be...

Hi guys, yep conny, thats it. :oops: i'll let em know, i don't think it's the best looking fitting in the world, but i'd imagine his parents have been using it since the fifties too :? the flourescent fitting is a 4ft tube i believe, it's screwed into the ceiling about a foot from...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. He lives with his folks & I assumed it was an old fitting :) wasn't sure it was even a uk fitting as his parents are not british.. the photo you put in taylortwocities, it doesn't look like that, or any part of it tbh mate. to try & explain it easily...

Hi, I saw an adaptor / connector "thingy" in my friends kitchen light socket. (ceiling rose) forgot to take a photo :( basically they have a normal ceiling rose light fitting & instead of removing the ceiling rose & fitting a new light unit, (flourescent tube) they have just connected...

Hi Ericmark, I actually looked at modulators last night, funny you should mention them, I have a cctv system i want to put up, when i find time... and it can only connect to the loftbox via an rf modulator... (another channel to find....) I noticed some mentioned PLL technology, cheaper ones...

Hi Ericmark. thanks for the reply, interesting about the two transmitters & freeview passthrough..... I don't have any freeview receivers. just sky recievers. the ones without a subscription (sub) are being used in freeview only mode. but obviously from a satellite dish not freeview...

Hi guys, thanks for the helpful replies... BAS, i read (but am sorry i can't find it to link it here) that any diy'er can do minor work (with conditions) but only a qualified person can test to BS7671. (2391 i think) the wording was the key with what i read, as it makes a...
