I will try my best to try the diverter valve and answer your questions, I would need to look out the instructions to see where it is, and what it looks like! I'm a spark so not too clued up on boilers, Was hoping it would be something simple, but unfortunately these things never are lol. Thanks

Hi, it started when he turned on after it not being on throughout the summer ( central heating side of things). I'll check the pipe on left that you mention next time I'm down visiting. No one has touched PCB or any other components and there doesn't seem to be any water leaking. It just...

Hi, was looking for some advice on behalf of my dad. His heating only seems to be heating up to around 40degrees which makes the radiators only luke warm. There is a room stat which we have bypassed to eliminate that being at fault. The pump is working fine and the hot water side of things is...

Hi, after carrying out a Periodic test I found there to be no main bond to the gas, only one 10mm leaving the DB and going to the incoming water. So, I was just wondering what number this would correspond to in the observations & recommendations i.e. 1. requires urgent attention...

[/url] Your a star, Thanks TTC, Coljack + Widdler :)

Hi, Thanks for quick replies. The main thing really was the cables in partitions not RCD protected. I've not actually carried out any tests yet, just a quick visual. Thats good to know that it can just be noted as not complying :) I've had a look for PDF PIR's on IEE website but no...

Hi, I was just wondering what would be the best way to update a 16th edition split load DB ( 16 way crabtree starbreaker, installed 2002 ) to 17th edition. I feel RCBO's would be costly as 6 would be required ( approx £200 ) So would changing the DB seem the most viable option? The...

Hi, sorry should have said, its a domestic mains interlinked and not a fire alarm system. Thanks for your quick reply, appreciated

Hi, was just wondering if its alright to loop 2 new detectors off 1 smokie in an existing interconnected system? Or do they have to be looped from one to the next. Probably not good practice but would save me a lot of hassle :)

Hi, if its the ones with about 100 fibre optic strands that go in to the ceiling then yes i've fitted them. Aslong as you have access above the room for all the strands, a lot of patience and a very thin drill bit ( 1mm ) you'll be fine! IMO the best way to do it is have a swith supplying a...

Bought a couple from BnQ in glasgow, thanks for the heads up Althought it was a hassle at the till when the barcode wasn't recognised, but at that price I suppose its worth it :lol:

Yeah, we use the 12 way insulated enclosures ( MGPK12) i've also seen Square D branded CU's that are identical, I'm sure there will be more as Lectrician said. Incidentally if you buying second hand rcbo's from ebay there was a faulty batch a year or 2 that got recalled but these will be a...

Hi, I used BAL Greenstar adhesive which is a kind of greyish adhesive. Its wall tiles but i'm sure that wont make a difference. I'll have another go at it making sure everythings mixed and cleaned correctly, maybe I rushed it the first time. Thanks for your advice, appreciated :)

Hi, I have recently ( 1 week ) grouted my new kitchen tiles but the black grout has turned white/grey in patches and as you can imagine doesn't look too good. I've used BAL microflex Black grout. Is there anything I can do do make the grout black and prevent this from happening. Thanks. John.

It seems alright to me, i probably wouldnt have bought one with my own money but was at companies expense so what the heck, 18 quid i think it was with a pack of 3 spare blades. I tend to still use the hacksaw as the stripping tool is always down in the depths of my tool box and cant be...

Are you sure the front cover has been put back on alright, check that the buttons are free to press and are making contact, If your sure you've plumbed and connected everythink correctly this may just be the culprit if your lucky
