Hi, When i use the hot water the boiler fires ok, then gradually a high pitched squeal starts eminating from the boiler & goes on to make a terrible racket. I've turned the water temp knob down to minimum, this cures it for a short while but the squeal eventually returns. I've had a listen...

Yep looks as if i'm going to have to spend over 300 quid,so the fan assisted rads looks like the way to go House faces North/North East & it can be quite cold, time to get my cavities filled :shock: :wink: I can remember having a bath in front of the fire when i was a young'un until i had a...

Hi Kev, Thanks for the reply & image. The soil stack arrangement shown is not the arrangement i can do. My connection to the main discharge pipe all happens under the suspended floor, the picture shows a conventional soil stack arrangement with the pan connector running horizontally above...

Hi Chaps, I do not profess to be a "qualified" electrician & probably never will but i can & do most things electric SAFELY within my own home, it's the tricky wiring jobs i need advice on, If i don't know how to do it i'll seek advice from the sparks at work or on these forums. These boards...

Qedelec, I do appreciate the differences between 12v & 240v & I do know my limitations. How can the sarcastic use of emoticons be justified. As for his "prolific" postings, this doesn't give him the right IMHO, to lecture, be sarcastic, rude, abrasive etc. Look, I know where this thread is...

Hmmm :roll:

So I conclude from your reaction that you deem me not to be "competent". I thought that boards like this were for advice & NOT springboards to be lectured. If you have nothing constructive to add please stay off the thread. Tim.

Yes i'm happy for the fan only to come on when the light is on. The (crap) diagram i got with the fan does show a fused 3A DP switch. Thanks for the info :D Tim.
