Ah yes - the stud between post and wall would not be visible as the post would end up being next to it. Hadn't thought of using a nut then wood as a temporary way of get the post into exact position. Was just going to use a nut then cut off the remaining stud. Domed nut would be much better...

I was worried about the post rusting through water ingress, rather than the new hardware. Hadn't thought of eye-bolt - yeah there is not enough room to bring in the top hinge by 20mm. Seems like bodging with resin/rod is a goer - need to pick the right spot into a reasonable size/sound...

Thanks - I'll give that a go on a small patch. Shouldn't be too much of a disaster if it goes pear shaped as will be covered anyhow.

Hi, Our garage floor is concrete, presumably set in separate pieces as has always been split into three bits that have moved apart over time. ~10mm gap between the pieces and one is ~10mm higher than the others. Seems stable though - been like this for > 10 years. I'd like to remedy slow...

Hi, Our front gate has sagged such that it no longer closes - top is ~20mm closer than bottom, and spirit level suggests the movement is on the hinged post (not surprising due to the weight of the gate, though the latch post is bang up against a drystone wall). I think I'm gonna have to dig it...

Bounce for the new decade

CH comes on as expected if there is demand. Burners light no problem. But then it will cut off between 5s -> 65s. Most of the time this is just after the gas pressure is increased after 60 seconds. The boiler then anti-cycles for 2mins before redoing the above. So you get 60 seconds on low...

I'll take your advice on not touching the isol valves - if they start leaking, then some hefty kitchen redecorating will be required :-( Draining properly is no problem and much lower risk.... Is there any chance that the X400 could dislodge more cack that will end up in the boiler...

Ta - yes it was just a low pressure switch full of 16 years worth of cack. The diagnostic flow in the manual makes complete sense in hindsight - if no power to either green or white wire on the driver board from the switch, and there is power to brown, then the switch is fecked. Think the...

Progress... Came back after a few days away when the boiler was switched off. Switched on - low pressure light. Odd, as that hadn't happened prior, and pressure on dial is 1 bar (and goes up when I added more water). After following the wiring on the back of the driver board...

Hmmm - completely died now. Yesterday it was fine after running the central heating on max for a few hours, and filling a couple of baths. It restarted itself about 15 minutes after one bath (the CH was on as well). Stayed off for 6 minutes before the standby light came on by itself...

Hi, Our Worcester 350 boiler has been shutting down fully over the last few days and then restarting itself.... - All panel lights go out, including the controller display. - I've not needed to press the overheat reset button on the top. - Pressure is 1 bar - not changed, no low...
