no the system was drained down. I will add inhibitor, just goes to show not to always listen to advice given on a whim!! I will turn the pump down and see where this gets me. Thanks again

OK so my pump had died, replaced now and working fine.. however, I am now getting what seems to be an airlock, took quite a while for the boiler to force most of it out to the top of the rads, but I can hear bubbling along the pipes going from the boiler to the pump. The nearest rad to the pump...

thanks, I have removed this screw and the pump is not running at all. I will find out if power is going to the pump, if so I will replace and see where that gets me. Thanks for your help.

ok thanks will do, I was thinking of replacing the pump anyway, if the pump is ok & or replaced but the problem remains, any ideas where I would look next!? appreciate your help

Hi, I had a rather sludged up central heating system (detailed below) so ran Fernox F3 superconcentrate (2 tubes) through it for two weeks, towards the end of last week the system was hotter than ever before, all rads hot top and bottom - my wife even asked me to turn the heating off at one...

yes that would be ideal, both switches are dimmer push on off - so assume only one can control dim level in this setup?

I suppose ideally I would like both switches to operate all three lights i.e. as a hallway or landing would work. With the 1st switch controlling the dimmer function. (not sure if thats how it works - but assume you cant have two dimmers controlling same lights?) Thanks again.

no... ! But at least I am getting somewhere in finally understanding how this works! Thanks for all your help, I will go with what Spark123 suggested and let you know how I get on. cheers

I am happy with how spark123 indicated the lights would work i.e. one switch for one, another switch for 2 as this seems to make sense seeing as the room is open plan but kind of in two parts. I didnt actually print off the sheets as I tried to use the old noggin to work it out on screen -...

Many thanks to you both it is really appreciated. I really should have paid more attention in my science lessons, looking at it now I can see how logical it is...! I will wire as suggested above and all being well shall be all lit up! Thanks again.

ok forgive me if I get this completely wrong... Connect all wires to corresonding colours at the two middle lights i.e blue - blue, yellow - yellow and red - red. Then connect the two middle lights - brown to yellows and blue to blues for both?? To my simple mind this would seem to...

Unfortunately not – I must be doing something wrong with the reds and yellows in the middle blocks. At present the reds are joined together and the yellows are all separate (as they were when I moved in). Sorry for being such a novice, if someone can just tell me an idiots guide i.e...

thanks for your reply ban-all-sheds, I have unscrewed the switches and have drawn a diagram of where all the wires end up, I hope this helps!! thanks for your help.

My first post so please bear with me!! I moved into a house which has wiring hanging out of the (conservatory) wall in blocks as I assume the lights were removed by the nice bailiffs!! Essentially I have 3 lights and 2 switches as follows; Switch - Light - Light - Switch - Light The...
