Hi people As you look from the outside of my house at the front door (when closed) there is a substantial gap between the door and the frame. This gap is only in the middle of the frame not at the top and bottom and runs about half the length of the door. How do I go about closing this gap as...

[/url] Thanks for that!! There was no mention of recess size on the John lewis website just oven size so maybe my recess is standard size after all! Just need to work out if I can fit a double oven height in now as my oven is only single oven height and I would like a double if possible...

Has anyone got any advice for this? My house has an MFI kitchen (already installed before we moved in) and the oven needs replacing. However the gap seems to be about 56cm wide and all the ovens that you can buy seem to be 59cm ish wide. Is this a ploy to make you buy the oven from MFI when...

I recently fitted a honeywell cmt927 wireless thermostat to my combi boiler and i have a few questions now ive finally got round to using it. I assigned a temperature of 20 degrees and when the room finally reached it the flame symbol didnt go out on the stat - i assumed it would go out...

Not sure of the power rating of the showers - how do i find this out? The shower isolators were definetely off at the time. The cooker switch was on as it always is. Yes it rained loads today. We have one outdoor light at the back but its always off. Ive got a set of pc speakers whose...

Ok so this has happened twice today and its not the night-time and barely anything was on (the fridge is a newish one) if you look at this pic its the big RCCB on the left that keeps tripping out. How would i test/repair for this possibility?

All installed and up and running correctly Big thank you to all that helped especially D_Hailsham and Glasgowgas :D :D Hardest thing in the end was getting the sheathing off the flex cable!!

Ok im half way there got the receiver wired in and on the wall just got the daunting bit now taking my boiler apart (inserts scared smiley) Can anyone tell me what i set my boiler switch to once this is all done - On,Automatic or off? Automatic was the setting for letting the in built clock...

You've got me worried now! I emailed vokera to check on compatibility with my boiler and the reply was Does this mean im doing it wrong or this is incompatible?

Is it important to push the outer sheathing into the block even if your using conduit? Because its a single cable and the instructions recommend 2 cables there is a plastic divider stopping it going all the way in? I suppose i could snap this off? edit - i think this is what you meant in the...

Dont think i have any of these spare terminals? Dont worry im going to tidy it up with conduit!

Hi guys I posted here last week for instructions on how to do this but now ive come to do it there are 2 live terminals in my receiver box? So which live terminal do i connect to my boiler?

I disconnected my sky box from the telephone line as soon as my year was up i didnt agree with connecting it in the first place. The only other thing thats happened recently is the wife let a plugged in electrical appliance fall in the sink which obviously tripped the main fuse/breaker (and...

Only the fridge and all the usual things on standby (tv, sky, phones etc)

Hi there My main switch tripped on my consumer unit last night meaning the whole house was without electricity. This was while we were asleep, what can cause this to happen? Its never happened before on a power cut, and therefore is quite worrying as we dont want it going while we are on...
