Thanks chaps (chappets?) I noted the smallest of the flames did not change when all the big ones were on so assume OK too. C

Sorry, don't follow. I've just tested them and the newer ones work on the test function - and trigger the others - but the manky kitchen one does not work! This means I *must* replace at least this one.

So I can light all burners and the flame does not waiver so the regulator can get enough gas out. Maybe these flames are normal.

I don't know - I assumed as they are mains (installed c.1999). Should the test function trigger all?

Thanks Rob, Yes, the bottles are both full - one new, isolated, one in-use for 4 weeks. I've switched over and makes no change. They are red. So, it's, uhem, not the size of the flame that matters.... noted. :D To cook with seems slower to get things up to boil but once there, seems to be ok...

Folks, I've just moved into an old property which has a gas hob feb by two gas bottles (medium - not tall ones) and a switch-over valve + regulator. The flam on the hob is very low - lower than my previous mains-fed hob. Could the regulator be out and not enough pressure? Is the only way to...

Folks, I've got what look like new smoke alarms in the house and one in the kitchen which looks ancient / rank. Obvious attached. New - fine Rank / kitchen Could someone point me to a replacement for the kitchen please? Thanks C

A security feature to stop ruffians using my hot water :)

I had though about that. Powering it would be very easy as it will be mounted inside the garage and very close to either the mains ring or under the CU so powering it is not a problem. My "concern" was how do I use it? Is it "pressure activated"? I'd rather have the ability to control it from...

Folks, I want to install a hot water heater inside the garage and have the outlet on the outside next to the cold tap so I can clean the dog after a muddy walk. I was looking at something like this...

I think that is the sound advice.

Thanks. I've been reading updated and I think I'll get the smaller one. On the odd occasion its too small for a cut I'll use the mitre saw. Mdf an ply mostly in use...

It would appear it's only really the cutting depth - more so at 45 degrees. Question is then - how often will I be cutting roof trusses?

I've started amassing Ryobi One+ range of tools for DIY purposes. My next purchase needs to be a circular saw to replace my rather large and cumbersome corded one. Why do I want to buy a 150mm blade versus 184mm blade? One is almost double the cost of the other. Would I buy the 150 and wish...

Thank you. I'll leave it as is for now, if it becomes a problem I'll get a pro in.

An incredibly valid point. I'm a very competent DIY (more so at electronics) but clearly folk like yourself and John who are forced to keep up with the regs do need to step in and a) put me in my place b) charge me for said service. I do these things because I enjoy it but if I ever end up...

Sorry John, I don't follow.

gotcha.

I believe I know where they are getting in. It's a converted barn shed, wooden clad, and there is a strip between the brick wall (it's a foot or so high) and where the cladding starts - it's got some gaps in it. Agreed, I will invest in more traps as it is a bit swifter on the poor things...

...and - if I remove the heaters I will be just fine, even with the heaters, fully-loaded, I am ok with what I have so I'll leave well alone then :) @BlueLoo - yes, agreed on the mice. There is now more bait blocks in the cavity than insulation :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Knowing that this is a problem...
