Thanks - don't need to go wireless as I'll just fit the replacement on the existing twin and earth. It's a Baxi System 100HE Plus. I can ask the supplier which stat will work with it but wondered if you had any recommendations or if they're all pretty much as good as each other ? Cheers

I currently have a mechanical honeywell stat. I'd like to install a programmable stat instead - two wires, battery etc. Not sure which is best. Thinking about 24hr or maybe 7 day. Have seen Horstmann, Danfoss, Honeywell (CM901 or CM907), Sunvic and Drayton. Any recommendations or others...

I'm thinking about adding an autodialler to my home security system (Scantronic 9651). I understand I can connect an HYL004 autodialler from GJD Manufacturing Limited http://www.gjd.co.uk/autodialler.htm using either the 0v on the dialler and the other to TR1 or by connecting a relay to...

Thanks securespark. Succinct answer and I guess just what I expected - so much for an easy life. Can you suggest any good hard wired systems which include an autodialler (to call or text mobile phone) and remote keyfob (easier for kids to use) please - last one I installed was early 1990's...

Hi Not a professional but reasonably competent DIYer and have installed two hard wired alarm systems in previous houses. I'm thinking this time about installing an SA3 PLUSMK Response Wireless Alarm http://www.responseelectronics.com/store/product.php?productid=80&cat=0 and wondered if...

I'm not an expert but have done a fair bit of DIY - I tend to start at the top and work my way down (but would install the heating and any other dusty works, appliances etc before starting the decorating)

Feva - Many thanks - very useful :D

I plan to paper a room and the wallpaper is showing an arrow pointing to the right towards a vertical line and the number 0 to the right of the line, ie maybe either No vertical offset in pattern or free match (but I don't know exactly what these mean) ? Could you tell me if this...

Thanks Dan. Think the flow switch is OK - pump is fairly new. Taps not dripping. I've just tried pressing down the wee plastic float (don't have ball valves) in the cistern very slightly - the pump switched on and it didn't take much pressure for the water to overflow into the bowl. So, I've...

I have a salamander esp 140 cpv installed on ground floor beside hot water cylinder with cold tank in loft (above floor 1). Pump feeds hot and cold to floor 1 only - ground is gravity and mains. It has own direct supplies from hot and cold tanks as specified etc. It has started switching...

I'm not a plumber but this layout is like our last house. I suspect the 2 tanks in the loft are 1 for cold water and 1 for central heating - which suggests that you have a vented system, ie not closed pressurised. You mention a 3 port valve - motor control valve - which would supply hot water...

Many thanks for the replies above. On Wickes - I had checked it but they only seem to do a 32 and a 45 - but not a 40. CPC looks the best bet. Cheers :)

Know the problem well - the plaster also comes off. Why not cut the floor board immediately to the right of the left joist and immediately to the left of the right joist - both in front of the wall where you want the socket. Then screw a piece of 2"x1" to each of the left and right joists to...

Does anyone know where I can get a GET type B 40AMP MCB 40B1M online please ? My local stockists don't keep it and I can only seem to find a 32 or a 45 online. It's for a 9.5kw shower. Thanks.
