Hello all! I am being frustrated by an alarm issue and any help would be appreciated (sorry in advance for the length, but thought I’d put all the details here)! I have a DSC 1832 alarm with a PK5500 keypad. My alarm is not monitored. I had an accidental alarm trip last week (the front...

thanks for all the comments guys. so, assuming i stick with Vaillant, there's some disagreement about whether to stick with the ecotec pro 28 plus 8 or the ecotec plus 831. from a quick search the 831 is a quite a lot more expensive, coming in at about £940, 25% more....

sorry, post not clear. 1 bathroom has a bath with electric shower, the other has a normal, mains-connected shower.

Thanks - so you're saying that if I go for the Vaillant I should go for the 28, but that you recommend I go for the Baxi Duotec 28 instead? I note it has a best buy recommendation from Which magazine.

Hello all. I'm replacing an old Vokera Linea 28 boiler, and will prob go for a Vaillant given generally favourable reviews on this forum and the fact that I already have an Ecomax which functions well (our flat has 2 boilers)...Although positioned downstairs (outside in a shed if that's...

Thanks. I don't know, I'll check tonight when I'm home. The boiler is housed in a separate shed just outside the main building, so I guess that pipe would be inside the shed? (from recollection the only pipe coming out is the flue). The boiler was working fine but I recently changed a very...

Thanks for the response, much appreciated - when you say inside the casing, you mean it's not on the underside and I have to take the main, front casing off?

Hello all. I’ve seen there are a number of similar posts re the Vokera Linea 28 combi-boiler pressure relief valve, but none of the seem to mention where the valve actually is! The fill valve is the black knob on the right hand side underneath, but where is the relief valve located? Is it the...

Good idea, will do that. Thanks!

Thanks for suggestions - but have brought more questions! Re link 1 – could well work, but may be a little long for the glass shade. If the max recommended wattage is 60w for the light, will using a larger bulb (that is closer to the glass of the shade) risk getting too hot and shattering the...

Megaman look to have a good selection, will check that out in detail - thanks!

Not to worry, I'll be using the supplied one (not planning on pushing my luck). I gave the wire a decent couple of tugs and it seems to hold fine.

Hello all. Following advice received from v helpful forum members on another post, I have installed a ceiling light which uses a bulb inside an opal glass shade (example pic below). Currently has a small 60W bulb in there which doesn’t generate enough light. Was looking at getting a varilight...

Well, by unscrewing the cover plate and undoing another allen screw, I can push the wire up further to get the pendant at the desired height. As BS3036 said, you can adjust the height when you install, but not push it up and down at will, but wasn’t expecting that so no issues there. The...

That's a very good spot (and not good news for me). Just called the shop up, and despite sounding pretty clueless the guy was pretty sure that I could adjust it. Only one way to find out I guess....... :D can't imagine anyone's that interested but I'll let you know what happens! Thanks again for...

conveniently my internet conked out last night...... thanks for all the responses - I'll try and unscrew the knurled screws at the top. As for instructions, they're minimal and don't talk about it. Link to the site where I bought it from is below - it refers to the max drop which suggests you...

picture of the cover plate if that helps....
