Just trying to figure out what would be best for my Kitchen Extractor, ( presently wired without an FCU if you remember my previous post ). I've traced the wiring and what I found was that the Kitchen Ring goes in and out of the double socket for the Fridge and Freezer. From this socket...

Sorry Tony, I'm always amazed how many people come on here asking for advice and don't give any details. Now I'm doing it myself :oops: :shock: The old boiler that tried to flood my back bedroom :roll: is a Myson Economiser WM 30/40 BF. There was an install cert. in the bottom of the...

There's no wonder that there are still a lot of people who just do the work and worry about it later. :roll: I must admit that if I had access to the proper testers, I would've thought about doing it all myself but that's the main reason why I want Building Control to come in and do the...

No choice on that one Tony, seeing as the old one is exactly that - OLD :lol: I can't see being able to source parts forra 20-odd year old boiler. All I know is that he runs his own company, is CORGI registered and is constantly busy with work :roll: He just told me that it works better...

I previously made a post about having to replace a broken boiler but I now have a different question. I was going to be replacing all but two of my old radiators & seeing as the old boiler has gone kaput, I thought it prudent to do this at the same time as the boiler. The thing is, would the...

Thanks guys, I knew there was summat wrong with their response. I will take your advice John and drop a letter off directly at the council offices. Thanks again

Well, even though I had a minor "event" re: my old CH boiler on Monday, I still managed to get in touch with the Local Council to ask them the procedure for notifying tham about the works I want to do with my wiring. I don't know if the person I spoke to was on drugs or summat but basically...

Well, I rang him this morning and needless to say, I did get my wires crossed. I'm gonna get the boiler but he's gonna do all the fit, filling, testing blah blah etc. I heard him talking about what was going to be done and I presumed he wanted me to do all that ready for him to sort out the gas...

In one of the posts on here, someone asks if it would be better to go forra combi over his present set-up ( similar to mine, although his boiler works :lol: ) and the reply states that the Corvec is Ultra-Reliable. Must admit that mine must be getting on for about ten years old and the only...

Really :shock: So would the HE12 or maybe even the HE9 be a better bet ? We're really happy with the Multipoint we use for the hot water. It's a Corvec Brittony II which after reading through some of the posts on here, is a very reliable water heater. Also, I don't want the added...

Hmmm, interesting is that, I'll have to have a word with m'laddo in morning. I must have got my wires crossed during the phone call coz we've never ripped each other off. I'll let you know how the call went :? Agile, would there be any advantage to buying the HE18 ? Reason I ask is that...

Thanks for the advice about the ideal classic namsag & sorry for my mistake in my earlier post when I said I wanted to buy another Myson :oops: I meant an Ideal model mainly because the factory is in Hull, about a mile away from where I live and yes, you've guessed it, I know someone who works...

We've known each other since school ( about 30 years ) & we regularly do each other favours, so that won't be a problem. Are the Icos models a load of rubbish then or is it more of a personal preference, based on your experiences ? I must admit they are a fair bit cheaper than the others you...

Well, my old Myson Economist WM30/40BF gave up the ghost today. I think partly due to it overheating when the F&E tank ran dry :cry: Anyway, what I want to know please is if a suitable replacement for this old boiler would be an Icos 15 HE ? I can get one of these for about £600 or so & a...

That's good to hear. :D

Well, I thought I had got away with it after the help from this board but unfortunately no. :cry: I finished work really early today & I got home at about half-twelve to find out that the heating had gone off ( Our lass had turned it off at the room stat coz even though the boiler pump was...

The cover that I'm going for is the metalclad type, coz it matches up very closely to the standard switches I'm going to use downstairs. It would be nice to get the actual switch modules in silver as well but I couldn't see any on the site :?

AND it's the cheapest by a quid :D You'll understand this being a Yorkshireman like me RF :lol: I wouldn't mind doing all the passageway in Grid, so they match up but the cost soon sky-rockets :( At least this grid switch will be upstairs on the landing where no others are viewable, so...

Yeah, I found that one out very quickly RF :( Been trawling through the sites trying to find out where is the cheapest. You've just given me another one to try - cheers :)

Cheers Lectrician, I haven't seen those before & Screwfix sell them 'n' all, so easy to get :D
