i now have eight feeds going to the loft and to the wall behind where the sky dish is (4x shotgun WF100 cables for four rooms). I currently have a ‘hybrid’ LNB with 6 connections on it but need space for another two so need a new LNB. I can’t seem to find a hybrid LNB that has 8 connections on...

Yes will get in touch with them at some point to replace this. Should have probably just zoomed out on the photos to show exactly where it is to make it clearer where it is. Thanks for your help with it.

here are some pictures of it

The valve in question is the pressure reducing valve upstream of the tank itself and sits above the water cylinder. It’s reducing the mains pressure down to 3bar before the hot cylinder. My PRV seems fine on the tank itself though 1 there doesn’t seem to be any knocking when the water is...

Ok thanks for that I think it has been getting worse slowly after the last year or so. If I put my hand on it I can feel it almost sticking when the noise happens. I’ll get someone change it - just trying to work out roughly how long it would take to do? I Don’t think you need to drain the...

We have an unvented hot water system (megaflo) on the first floor of our property and have noticed what I can describe as a clunking noise coming from the 3 bar combination valve. This happens when the cold water is shut off on a tap (not hot water) and is more prominent on the bath taps (22mm...

I have FTTP and the fibre cable goes into an Openreach modem and then from that there is an Ethernet cable feeding the hub. I have now moved my router upstairs so the main incoming is extended. Granted it’s not extended using pure fibre feed but cat 6 is good enough for our uses and the system...

Yeah I keep telling myself that it will be worth it once it’s done. My upstairs is easy to do due to the partition walls and also TVs are wall mounted so not far to travel with the cables from loft to the termination point. The lounge is the worst room and needs doing as the freeview aerial feed...

Thanks for this. Another thing to add is that there are two hot taps downstairs - one in the kitchen and one in the cloakroom. The one in the cloakroom which I thought was the lowest point of the hot water is the one that is constantly running even with the cold off at the mains and on the...

I am trying to replenish the air gap on my Megaflo water cylinder which is approx. 5 years old and noticed water dripping from the tundish when the hot water cylinder is being heated. I have followed the instructions in the manual and on a youtube video from haetrae sadia which involved me...

I’ll see how I get on with the second attempt of wiring this cable onto my euro f connector outlets. I have a Humax Freesat box in other room so will use that as my signal tester as you say it’s not worth spending the £25 or so on a tester.

thanks once again for the help and also the offer of making up some fly leads. I actually realised that the issue I have with the fly leads is using compression joints on them makes it far harder for me to screw them onto a tv or box. I removed one of the compression joints the other day and...

The 90 degree adaptors will be needed in another room but the window feed is not what I’m after. I’m looking for simply a more flexible cable for the link between the wall plate and the Freesat box as the webro cable is very stiff and hard to screw onto the threaded connector. I tried the euro...

It could well be the silicone left over when they installed the pipe - either way it’s not leaking but thought I would check.

thanks for this detailed explanation I’ll just run individual shotgun cable to the downstairs rooms after reading this. It’s a messy job so I may as well send two cables to each room so I don’t regret it further down the line. One of the rooms is still using the sky issued cable and it’s awful...

I currently have an octo LNB connected to the satellite dish and I Currently have two rooms upstairs wired into the LNB with WEBRO WF-100 cable (shotgun) to provide two signals for each TV. I have two more pairs of outputs left on the LNB which I plan to use for the kitchen and lounge but before...

I’m planning on swapping the toilet around with the basin so planning on extending the 110mm pipe out from the waste stack on the left of the picture. This way the wash basin can go where the cystern is in the picture. The problem I have is the waste pipe (32mm) for the basin is a really tight...

Do you think 8mm is ok for 38x63 studwork ? it’s about 2 metres horizontal length for tiles... I thought the same about tv brackets but after using the rigifix plugs I have them on three 50+ inch TVs in the house all swinging out and it’s rock solid. Granted I have overkilled it with the...

That’s what I thought especially in my blocks as they are not very dense at all. I have used rigifix fixings on dot and dab on top of thermalite blocks for TV stands and they have been solid. That’s also an option but the plugs are really designed to sit on top of the plasterboard which I won’t...

Thanks - they seem pretty good on the reviews... I will prob go for those in 10mm with a coach screw going through the wood and into the anchor. Will grip fill it as well for extra strength.
