Most of the rad flows are controlled from the ingoing lockshield with the outgoing fully open. But some bedroom rads are controlled from outgoing because of thermo valves fitted by BG some 10yrs ago at the ingoing, but all but one of four are set at 2 or lower just to take chill off in...

Ok, Balanced the radiators with a digital infrared thermometer achieving approx 10c drop across all the rads bar one. The whole system is under the bedroom floors with the Gundfus Alpha Pump in the airing cupboard, the wall mounted Worcester boiler in the kitchen. All rads bled with no air...

:unsure:(y) Thanks

When balancing radiators. Do you turn all radiator heatshields off before starting to balance or shut one at a time to adjust flow as required

I have a Opti-Myst open fire with its vapour smoke effect and glowing logs etc. Although the fires effect is soothing and warming to look at with the brain thinking its a traditional burning fire. Its bland, any ideas if there's anything that could be added to the water tank to give a wood or...

Well, we needed the fire working for the brain to assume its warm although the fan heater is never used. So after informing the insurance company of the poor service, the threat of moving our other appliances elsewhere and its not for us to find an agent etc. I got a new transducer and seems...

OK. Dimplex................... The insurance company or I cannot contact Dimplex to speak to anyone regarding a repair. After going through the selections pressing various numbers, we end-up having to fill a online form to request a repair. But then we have to wait upto 10 days for a reply...

Thanks, Found out I insured it on purchase, so luckily getting it repaired. I will keep the post updated of the repairs done for the fault.

Our Dimplex Opti-Myst fire stops after 5/10 mins. The fire is approx 16 mths old and only used Autumn/Spring intermittently. The Lights are on and mist is seen before shutting off. Cleaned the sump and transducer disc, refilled with water and the fire runs with lights, mist and fan is running...

My son who has 2 Beagles and fitted a door flap to allow the dogs free access in/out., Now he has a problem where when leaving the dogs to do shopping they want to go too, so they go into the garden barking etc. Anyone know of a lock with a timer, where the flap could unlocked after 5mins etc...

Thanks, already done as said in first post............ Ok, Problem solved..... Drained washing machine removing filter. Disconnected drain hose from sink connection. Positioned sink end of drain hose lower than drain hose exit level from washing machine. Filled hose with drain cleaner and...

Thanks, The hose runs behind 2 80cm cm units then climbs up behind the 80cm sink unit and down to the sink drain connector. Adding kitchen was installed 10 yrs ago. The machine is more less in use everyday and a sachet is used approx monthly and door is left ajar to vent.

It seems the washing machine drain hose is smelling despite using a recommended sachet by the ins. service engineer. The hose is approx 2-3mts long and was fitted when new kitchen was installed and runs behind the kitchen units etc. So not easy to remove and replace. I have a long snake cable...

Having removed heavy anaglypta paper from the 80's from a dry wall leaving craters where the paint seal of the board has peeled off in certain areas. What compound can I use other than plaster for a thin skim over to cover/fill the craters. Could I use a filler compound thinned down or any...

Took out my JCB strimmer out of the shed and found the clear plastic fuel lines perished. Found on Ama... a kit for replacing the lines etc including filter and grommet etc. Reading about which is best for petrol, see that PVC which is the kit is not good. Next best is Polyurethane or PTFE...

Update… Problem solved. Used a 8.5mm drill and slowly drilled the yellow bits in the attachments using a cordless drill controlling the speed. I remember many years ago that certain Nylon block used for a machine part, that under moist conditions it absorbed moisture and swelled by a very...

Thanks, yes in principal. Although I dont have any leaks etc. Its just that the yellow bit is a tight fit on the male bit in the centre of the lance/handgun. This male bit has a slot in its head ‘in photo’, but its soft a plastic for a large screwdriver to move it, if its suppose to move/be...

Thanks already looked here. The photo is showing the end of the lance/handgun where the attachments fit. The male bit in the centre is what the attachments fit over and the yellow bit from the attachment is left behind, where the fitting between the male part and yellow bit are too tight...

For what ever reason despite greasing with silicone grease etc, the yellow bits are a tight fit and get left behind when disconnecting. Mine is a hard push in & twist with alot of effort. Yet on a old smaller lance, they fit with no issues..

This is a Karcher K series lance where you attach various attachments. Anyone know if the Male connecter in center can be removed. Found the Yellow bits from attachments being left after removal of the attachments. Yet if the attachments are fitted to an old lance of a old small Karcher, no...
