Yes I understand that, but Winston was suggesting, almost insisting that this consumer protection was the reason I have been sent this five year warranty. If that was the reason, then logically someone in England would have been given six. However reading what you said last, is this the normal...

Not sure what you mean, are you saying that they'd have sent me a six year "Service Contract" if I lived in England?

Which engineer are you referring to? Surely the consumer would not be treated as an expert witness, it would just be their assertion that something that worked OK for 4.5 years must by definition have been faulty from the start.

I don't think that's it in this case. Sony web pages even now say standard warranty is 12 months, above that only if you buy additional cover .. https://services.sony.co.uk/support/en/warranty https://services.sony.co.uk/support/en/premium-services That corresponds to my hazy memory from when...

I'm deferring my celebrations until the deal is actually done. Sony said their service rep would be in contact within six working hours to arrange the exchange, so should hear from them some time Monday morning.

Update, it looks like this might be going in an unexpected direction. I had already emailed Sony about the issue, not really expecting much assistance. They came back wanting a proper sales invoice, and when I supplied that they sent me a certificate for a five year warranty, ending this...

Thanks. I looked at some of those tutorials and blogs, and it seems like a "t-con" related problem can be either a fault within the panel, or the t-con board itself. There are various things showing blanking off individual clock lines for example. However I didn't realise a replacement board...

Hi, Our TV which is a Sony KD-43XE8396 has suddenly started display only vertical lines. The lines are some form of corruption of the picture as the change if you press buttons or channels. Sound comes through OK. The symptoms are unchanged if all inputs such as aerial, HDMI etc are...

Had a proper measure of the internal thread, it's 1.5mm pitch not 1.25, so it looks like an off the shelf puller might work. I have seen 26mm in 1.0 or 1.5mm pitches.

Cheers. I see what you mean about that screw in a slot. There's another on at 180 degrees so it looks like something to adjust the whole back plate .. Regarding the thread size, my take is that if the internal diameter is 24mm (actually it's a touch more) then it's bigger than M24. In the...

Is it the coupling coming undone, or the hose coming out of the fitting? We have a mix of Hoselock, Gardena, and other brands and I've never had a coupling separate. What's your mains pressure like? That might be the difference, ours is quite low as we're on a gravity private supply.

I've had a chance to have a look, and taken a few photos with the flywheel in place. I think the thread for extractor is 1.25mm pitch, definitely bigger than 1.0mm. Inside diameter is 24mm. Not sure where that leaves me, 24mm is the tapping drill size for 27x3mm thread, but this isn't 3mm...

Do you mean it is not considered a problem because they can assume everything will be connected with flex that's good for at least 16A?

With respect that comes to the same thing in the end. The MCB and the cable are sized to suit the total load, or maybe you'd say maximum expected total load. Without fuses in plugs of FCUs then that is likely to be greater than the safe capacity of the flex connecting various devices. This...

On an electric chainsaw that will be "3/8 Low Profile" or what Stihl call "Picco", and you need a 4mm file...

Thanks. I was thinking of the scenario where you have several devices on a radial, whether hardwired or connected by plug and socket. To give an example assume 2.5sq.mm fixed cabling, and two or more devices each connected with similar flex of a smaller cross section, let's say 0.75sq.mm. You...

Wouldn't they be needed on radials as well, or any other circuit with multiple sockets or connection points?

Assuming the workshop can be considered a "non-residential building", and not accessible to the public, then most electrical work does not require notification or building warrant. It would be good practice to have strain relief on the flex entering the box.

Thanks. I'll get pictures. The flywheel has a fine thread inside the well where the nut locates, but it also has three M6 (to be confirmed) threaded holes as well. I think those would be easier to use for an improvised puller. I did try thumping the nut as you suggest, maybe I'm too scared...

Hi, I have a Flymo GT2 with the two stroke "JLO" engine, I have no idea how old it is. Last weekend it cut out soon after starting, and it is giving no spark at all. I haven't yet rigged up a puller to get the flywheel off, so all I have been able to check is that there is continuity in the...
