Thanks Bernard, as above reply, having done some research it appears to be a well know problem with LED bulbs, but this issue has only just occurred following approximately 6 years of trouble free use ?. I don’t recall her even changing a bulb during that time, certainly no electrical work...

I’ve just changed one of the bulbs for a Halogen one and it now operates correctly. Puzzled as to why it’s worked ok for so long then suddenly this ?

My daughter has a 4 lamp light fitting in her kitchen, the bulbs are all Phillips 4.5W, 2700K, GU10, it is wired with a 2 way switch by the back door and a 2 way switch by the dining room. This set up has worked satisfactory for approximately 6 years, last night when she was about to go to bed...

If you want discreet and hard wired have a look at FitcamX range. I have one in my Toyota and previously had one in my Jaguar, they replace the shroud behind the interior mirror and some connect to the electrics by the mirror.

a) It’s the correct replacement. b) There’s much less chance of it leaking in the future. c) Quality has a premium, buy cheap, buy twice.

Thank you both for the replies, I looked at the 050 instructions but they didn’t show the lights in the bottom left, I thought it could be for additional controls, wireless stat, weather compensation etc

Don’t use any jointing paste on plastic pipe.

My son is in the process of buying a property in Northern Ireland that has a Viessmann boiler installed, I’m not familiar with Viessmann products. Can anyone help identify the model and offer an opinion as to whether or not they are fairly reliable. Thanks

On a separate note, there’s a distinct lack of pipe / tank insulation up there.

1st step is to get it off the VHS Tape and onto a HDD, once there you can edit it etc. Getting it onto a DVD first maybe a good first move before the tape further degrades or gets damaged.

I bought a used Panasonic VHS to DVD recorder off eBay, transferred all my old VHS family recordings onto DVD then sold it again on eBay for a small profit

Hardly think that’s likely with it being a condensate pipe, although it would be good practice to fit a clip or two.

Providing the flexible hose is long enough you can do away with the coupling, also you can get the flexible tap connectors with a built in isolation valve. Makes things easier if you need to isolate the tap for any reason.

As per Stivino above, a pushfit coupling and a pushfit flexible tap connector with a small piece of copper in between.

Be careful mixing different brands of plastic, they will all offer a warranty on their system or onto copper, but if you use one brand of fitting with another brand of plastic pipe you may find it difficult if you have a leak. One may blame the other. I know a number of plumbers who mix systems...

The “original” Hep2o is the same, both a low pressure test and a further test up to 18 bar. This is because both Polyplumb and the “original” Hep2o fittings are “O” ring first, this basically means that when the pipe is inserted into the fitting it passes through the “O” ring first then the...

If you have co-ax type cable for video and a separate power supply and don’t want to change or reroute the existing cables there are some very good TVI systems available with up to 5 mp cameras. Hikvision DS-7204 HUHI-K1 DVR or whatever the latest model is, Hikvision ColorVu TVI cameras are a...

My daughter has a Glowworm Ultimate 50FF boiler, open vented system, Y plan with open vented cylinder that has worked fine up until this week. The boiler fires up and radiators begin to warm, but the boiler keeps making a clicking noise and the burner cuts out the fires up again then cuts out...

Yes, just make sure :- The pipe is round and clean Preferably cut with pipe cutters, if you use a hacksaw make sure you remove any sharp burrs that could “nick” the O ring Insert pipe fully into fitting
