Just an update on the work today - I spent all day cleaning out the header tank then adding X800. I fired everything up and lo and behold no banging and the system warmed up the rads perfectly. Much better than I expected. A perfect cure. Drained down and refilled with water only to flush the...

I was sceptical about the price as well. As the job will take me ages and be a pain I have bought 2ltrs of X800 @ £30.

rob - this is in a very large house 7 bedroom and 3000 sq feet.

Agile - you must have read my post differently to what I meant to convey. I WAS going to take the advice and use what was suggested. I just mentioned that I had some of this stuff around. The answer might just as easily been that you had heard of the stuff and it was OK.

Happy to give anything a go. I just happened to have a couple of cans of the stuff I mentioned. No chance my whole system will dissolve then? Thanks for the reply

Hi, My CH system is playing up. (Gravity fed system with Gloworm Ultimate 120FF, two motorised valves, bypass valve and TRVs on each rad.) The symptoms are kettling every 10-15 minutes. This has only started in the last couple of weeks. I have read the FAQs and checked a few things and I...

I think the app. is actually Route 66, but is only available on S60 Symbian phones and Microsoft Pocket PC Devices. The SE k800i is a UIQ based phone (which is also Symbian) but I don't think it is compatible. You could have a look at http://www.google.com/gmm/ which is interesting if a...

Thanks. I did wonder about them pulling out if not screwed. Screw and plug it is then.

Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't find it. How do you fix the socket back boxes into concrete block? I have cut out and channelled the wall for the cables but find screw and plugging to be a pain. Do you use expanding foam or hardwall instead or is screw and plug best?

Had my oak floor laid for about 3 months now - really pleased. Combilay and then glued all round. If large rooms then leave a decent expansion gap. It moved quite a bit while we were painting the walls and woodwork due to the moisture.

Got a Matki walk in. My experience echoes some of those here. Some water gets on the floor. (I have a Karndean floor). I would have bought the larger one if space permitted (mine is 1200mm) as some of the space is 'dead'. I like it though and I'm not a fan of doors on showers as a lot of the...

It is. I'll have a look at my suppliers. Thanks

Thanks for that. I think you are right on the colour!!

Hi, I have tiled above my worktops and grouted. The tiles are sealed travertine and the grout is off-white (jasmine). The worktops are a dark cherry wood. I left the gap at the bottom of the tiles free of grout as I assume a flexible sealant is required here. My question - is there...

My daughter (2 1/2) was getting fed up with birds sitting on her swing and pooing in her seat. My dad stretched a wire on two wooden posts along the top and this has stopped it. You could do something similar. Green garden wire works and doesn't show up.

I have a Chrysler Voyager with exactly the same symptoms. I pulled the wires off the sounder!! Locking the doors in the way you suggested on my car (ie without using central locking) actually does not set the alarm, so this would work on mine as well but it is not really a fix. You may be...

Thanks keego. The existing opening is already quite large. The fireplace is quite large and opens into a 25' x 25' room. In fact one of the problems is getting a fire large enough to not look daft. I do want to go with an inset so I guess my builder will need to reduce the opening? The actual...

Hi, I have an existing fireplace that houses a real fire although I have never used it. I want to install a gas fire in the opening. Given that it has a proper chimney, do I need a flue liner? reading the blurb from the fire manufacturers, I would say I have a Class 1 flue (ie existing chimney)...

I would download Audacity (it's free). You can record from line in and save to a file. http://audacity.sourceforge.net

Did exactly the same in my bathroom. I used an electric tile saw. Worked OK.
