    Shower pump 'pulsing'

    Thanks for the replies. I will look into all the suggestions. It's very sporadic. Can be fine for a week or more and then it will happen again. Turning the shower off and on a few times can help it. Also, on the very odd occasion the shower pump has been kicking in when the shower isn't on...

    Can I tidy up master phone socket?

    So our master phone socket is by the front door. Really impractical for router as there is no nearby power socket. Currently there is the microfilter plugged in and the cable runs about 15metres around the house and back in to a secondary socket where the router and phone is plugged in. This...

    Shower pump 'pulsing'

    We've been in this house about 6 months and never had a problem with the shower. However last month we needed the hot water cylinder heating element replaced. Since then, our shower pump is 'pulsing', but only on the odd occasion. You can hear it from the pump too, and it's quite a quick pulse...

    Vauxhall Corsa Misfiring when cold

    Thanks. I was just wondering if it is coil pack, why it would be failing again so quickly. Is there something else that can be causing it?

    Vauxhall Corsa Misfiring when cold

    2007 Corsa, 1.4. Roughly 88k miles. So about a year ago I had the flashing engine management light come on while I was sat at some traffic lights having only started the car a minute or so before. Took it in to the garage and they replaced the coil pack. Told me it was misfiring. All was good...

    Added X400, do I keep all lockshields open, or rebalance?

    So when I refilled the F&E tank on Saturday, the water was obviously clear. This is it today. Is that a sign the X400 is working or would it always look like that? Also, when it comes to flushing it out of the system, I've read it's better to have the pump running. How do I do this as...

    Added X400, do I keep all lockshields open, or rebalance?

    So we've got a very neglected system that is sludged up, lots of rads cold at bottom. I emptied out the F&E tank, scrubbed it, then flushed through cold water for a while. I've now added Sentinel X400 and refilled the system with all lockshields/trv's open fully. Do I leave them all open for...

    No heating without hot water

    Update: So, I managed to break the programmer trying to get it off the wall. It had been grouted on. :cry: So we were without heating for 8 days while waiting for a plumber. In that time the immersion also packed up but got that fixed within a couple of days. Two oil rads kept us going heating...

    Extending loft hatch

    Does that extend to the joists? I'm not planning on cutting anything other than the bottom joist in red!

    Extending loft hatch

    Was thinking of putting a bigger loft hatch in for easier access. Wanted to extend the side opposite to where the ladder is leaning. I'm not 100% on what I need to do so would appreciate some guidance. So the red lines are the existing joists which are 34mm x 98mm roughly. Green lines are...

    No heating without hot water

    Are wire colours standardised? So they will all do the same thing regardless of make? I have an old Potterton EP2002 programmer if that helps. I just can't figure out what wire is doing what and what it should be connected to!

    No heating without hot water

    So I moved the grey wire to what I believed to be the correct slot, HW off and HW satisfied. From the process of elimination I went to the wire from the cyclinder stat that was only connected to one other. This still didn't fire up the boiler when requesting CH only. However, if I requested HW...

    No heating without hot water

    I meant to post this picture too. There was a broken orange cable end still attached. There is no 'loose' orange wire so to speak anywhere. God knows why it was left there.

    No heating without hot water

    I did wonder if it was earth. It didn't make sense to me. Thanks for that. So what would that green/yellow be? Is it right it being on it's own?

    No heating without hot water

    Ahh sorry, I should have pointed out my edit. This wire came from the very left hand connector (where the single earth is), I took a picture after I'd taken it out. This was connected, and is now again

    No heating without hot water

    Is there any way of telling that from the attached picture in my first post?
