Could anybody who might have one of these things tell me if it is the case that when I plug in the ac adaptor it will automatically disconnect the 3 x AA batteries installed or would I have to take the batteries out to be 100% sure? Is there any way of testing this? The idea is to leave the...

I thank you for your prompt reply to my post. It is much appreciated!

I have just had an energy monitor delivered from npower and one of the settings I have to set on the display unit requires the domestic supply voltage to be entered Would I be right in saying it is 250V. If not, how do I find out? Another question. Are these monitors very accurate as...

"Do it when the system is cold and switched off and take it up no higher than 1.5psi. Don't overtighten the grey knob when you shut it off, it is quite delicate!" Excuse my mistake. when I quoted PSI I actually meant 1.5bar Not much difference eh? :oops:

I can't for the life of me think why anybody would remove the filling knob. It is a small grey hexagonal plastic knob just to the right of where you insert the filler key. The link you point to does not show any knob of any kind. There is nothing there so I can't comment on whether that...

To tell the exact truth, it was the Worcester Bosch service engineer who took the door off, and I don't know how he went about it :o All I know is he couldn't get it back on again and it was left lying on the floor for me to put back up after he was away At the same time he could have...

Jason I can't thank you enough! I didn't even need to take one off. I just bent the spring steel fastener back slightly towards the retaining lugs on the damper without overdoing it, and they all went on without any trouble, AND ARE TOTALLY SECURE!! You have solved a problem that I have...

Thank you Jason Will have a go at this when the better half is clear of the kitchen and I can get a bit of peace, and report back how I get on :roll:

I have one of these automatic kettles that makes a whisting noise when it boils and then switches off. The whistiling noise is caused when a rocker switch on the top of the kettle activates and switches the kettle off. The problem is that 9 times out of 10, the kettle will switch off...

Could some kind person please tell me if the boiler frost protection system in the Worcester Bosch 24CDi RSF combi boiler, also protects the radiators and pipework. There is nothing about this in the instruction manual. All it mentions is boiler protection. Worcester Bosch technical...

When I phoned an installer for a quote for servicing my year old boiler, I queried whether the sum quoted was inclusive of VAT. He replied that was it in total as he wasn't registered for VAT. I thought all businesses had to charge VAT. Please enlighten me :roll:

Any advice on how to remove a candle bulb with a bayonet fitting that shattered when I tried to take it out of a free standing standard lamp. My excuse is that the bulb has been in as long as 15 years and had burnt itself in. There is a shroud completely surrounding the bayonet cap and...
