Got the spanner set. Damn bolt is bigger than the spammers go up to - id say it's a 14 or 15mm bolt now I've tried these. Gotta order a bigger one from eBay. :(

Thanks both. I went for the monobloc set. They look like just the job. Cheers again for your help.

Evening all. The mixer tap on one of our bathroom sinks is loose - when you turn either of the taps on/off the mixer unit swivels. I've had a look at the bottom of the mixer from underneath the sink and I can see some sort of retaining clip and what looks like a nut. Problem is there's...

I checked all of the wiring in the sockets. Everything looked fine - no loose screws or damaged looking wiring/insulation. I then took the fuse cover off and upon inspection noticed that the bottom part was burnt (see the photo below). The under side of the unit - at the bottom of the...

Cheers. I'll isolate the power and check the terminals and connections in the fuse/switch box on the wall. When you say also check the plug/socket do presumably you mean the wall socket that the fuse/switch box is wired to and not the plug/socket that the heater plugs into in the...

I had our convector heater on in the conservatory earlier and after about 20 minutes of it being switched on we noticed a fishy smell coming from the switch socket just inside the house. The electric setup in the conservatory is basically a double plug socket in the conservatory wired to a...

i put a new battery in this morning. Problem solved. thanks for all your help

I appreciate your confidence but I think that when I come to actually fit the new battery I will definitely isolate the power - which in this case will mean killing the power to the house. Just to be on the safe side! I presume these things have a memory of some kind which stores the config...

The whole system will be 3 years old this Christmas. It was last serviced after its first year.

How do I do that?

Thanks Regarding the 240 volts, presumably if I turn off all the electrics in the house (via fuse box) that will suffice? By cutting the power to the alarm unit will it still retain all of the settings/configuration etc?

Hi all. The display on our Euro Mini alarm system keypad is saying "Battery Fault 100". I presume this just means that the backup battery in the main unit has gone? Is it a simple case of turning off the electrics and popping the old battery out and putting a new one in? Would...

did all this today - fixed the tap. Thanks again for your help!

ok. cheers for that. I'll give this a go at the weekend.

Am I right in saying that to strip it down you start by taking the cap off the tap and then unscrewing the bit beneath this to dismantle the tap?

Cheers. I can strip it down no problem. In terms of it being the jumper - will it be obvious which part that is?

I've got a problem with the Mixer tap in our downstairs toilet. Basically the cold tap won't turn on. You can turn it maybe a quarter of a turn but that's all. No water comes out. It's as if it's seized up or something inside the tape has failed. The warm tap is fine although the same...

Cheers both for your advice. I also noticed that he turned the temp gauge on the boiler up to max (in fairness the gledhill boilermate does advise this) however with the temp turned right up, whenever the central heating is on, there's a fairly loud rumbling noise in the house. I presume...

Yes just been serviced. When the plumber came back he adjusted one of the pots on the circuit board. It fired up fine after that and has been ok since then. I take it he must have forgot to adjust the pot back to its original setting?

Currently waiting for the plumber to arrive. Our Glow Worm 18HXi is showing no signs of life at all. Other than 00 flashing on and off on the LCD display. Turning the unit off at the wall and back on again, it flashes once 11, once 07, and then starts flashing constantly 00...
