Hi guys, Hopefully be a simple one, I have a Addvent AVX100S fan in the kitchen, its never worked since moving in a year ago. On the wall is a fused switch, on the fan the '1 live in' and '2 Neutrel in' are connected but the earth is disconnected but cant see anywhere it can go. Looked...

Think i might has mis-worded something, i said bleed valve, is this not the top part of the rad where i can use the key to release air? thanks all!

I have the angled drain in kitchen, i think this is the last rad to get hot water as its always the last one to get warm. I think i have the full bored but this is for the washing machine. So correct me if i get these steps wrong, i probably do this once it gets a bit warmer. 1. tie up...

yes i could hang on till spring, do i need to take all the rads off to hose down or just the 1? Is there an easier way to flush the system without taking the rads of? the rad in the kitchen has this connector which looks like for a hose to be connected to - drain valve? Wanted to add...

from memory, all my rads get hot but takes time for the downstairs one because the pipes are smaller. It takes approx 20-30mins for the rads to get hot, but up to an hour for the last rad in the kitchen to get hot. My thoughts were to dump 1 litre of X100 in and leave it until i had...

Hi guys, I dont know if there are any inhibitors in my rads but I'm looking to add X100 to it soon. Would this loosen any gunk or pin hole any pipes/coils? My heating works fine, though downstairs take longer to come on (recently found out the pipes downstairs are smaller than upstairs!)...

I dont have a towel rail, is it still possible with normal radiators? i'll check the header tank later

Yep i know which one to use. I'll probably get the 1 litre X100, do i just drain the same amount (tied ball joint up) or more litres from the last rad in the house then empty x100 in the small tank? Would this cause any air lock? i can bleed the rads of course Thanks for the answers...

Hi guys, I have a stupid easy question but not an expert at this so would like to know. How is the water in a Y plan with a 3 valve motorised port seperated between central heating water and normal hot water in the tank? Reason I'm asking is I'm going to put some X100 in this week, I...

went through all the fault finding steps and discovered the fan is very likely at fault. It doesnt spin, the fan itself is stiff even when i try to touch it with a screw drivers. wiggled it a bit then starter boiler up and it worked, turn boiler off and put the case back then it stopped...

lol at the comments. its my own house and i'm not in this trade. completed 1 room so far, worn out 1 of them drill bit bought another to finish off (£12!) and to do the edges, decided I need to go bit deeper for the grout to bond properly and prefer it not to crack. So i took the 1st...

found the manual, might have a nose around to check what LED are lighted up etc.

Hi guys, My glow-worm boiler stopped working yesterday, when turnt on via the controls, its clicks twice fast (which is normal) then it should within 5 secs starting hearing what I believe is the fan and sparking before it ignites. However last night when it was put on boost (1 hour hot...

i ran the cables along the top of the joist so is now out of sight, the connector block was tucked in some 'cable tidy thing' about chest height so I extended that up to the joist where its not visible. The original positions of the 2 bulbs were in different places, so I re-wired and extended...

This post is very old but thought i'd update this. Again I've confused some bits in my wording however this was done when i got back from my trip and works perfectly. I'm no strange to electrics just not a pro at explaining it all. I extended the connector block so its out of sight...

Hi guys, I have a dremel 3000 and have purchased the drill bit which is designed to remove grout, have the 1.7 and 3.2mm one (I think) with the attachment tool. Think i may need more of these as I've heard they'll blunt quick?? my questions is, what do i use to remove any grout that has...

Hi guys, I've first noticed this problem when a toilet overflow caused the front part of the house bricks to darken, it was of course wet/damp due to the overflow. Its now been a few months but the bricks still look damp but i tested with tissue and could not soak any water at all. THe...

ok but what type of wood do i get, theres a few. Can someone send me a link?

Hi guys, This should be a fairly easy question. I have 2 water tanks (normal water + central heating) in the loft, it sits on a wooden board which is then supported by 4 or 5 pieces of wood underneath to spread the load. Half of the board is empty but the other side has the water tanks...

yea, i believe i have, i was just concerned that its taken over 2 weeks yet still doesnt look dry, maybe its stained as the bricks looks darker.
