Another tip would be to get BT to put a block on premium rate numbers from your phone. This should stop any inadvertant premium rate calls.

They only seem to supply the whole unit. Plumb center are the same. Also after the same.

Thanks for the replies. Now the water board say that I am not allowed to touch their stopcock on the property boundary. Just complained because they promised to come out today but didn't bother. Said it would take 10 days until I made a fuss and are coming out tomorrow...maybe. I will...

Breezer - you could be right. I'm not a plumber or HE. But given no other changes to a system there are only a limited number of causes I guess. This is really just my guess from many days head scratching my own system. BTW I had bleed valves on the pipework at the top of the boiler because...

Probably not your problem but worth mentioning. I have a 120FF and experienced identical issues to yourself. I did have an airlock which took regular bleeding every day for a week to stop the banging but my main problem was that I had inadvertantly altered the timing of the HW and CH at the...

It all started yesterday with a new fridge. Wife said can you fit this bracket that stops the fridge falling forward if the door is open and filled with heavy stuff. No problem, the bracket fits to the wall or the floor so I choose the floor. First hole drilled no problem, second hole - whoosh...

If I understand your question,I had a similar issue with my last bathroom fit. What I did was drill a smallish hole on the perimeter of the cut, then used a tile saw with a round abrasive blade, unhooked it from the handle and fed the end through the hole and back into the handle. With patience...

I believe that you can remove the branches etc. that are overhanging your boudary as long as you return them. From my own perspective (as I sound like the 150' garden offender), I would urge you to make best efforts to contact the neighbours. I live in similar circumstances and had some...

I have an aluminium greenhouse that was in the garden when we moved in 2 years ago. I now want to reinstate it so my wife can use it. What would your recommendations be for a base. (I dug out an area for a full concrete slab but am now having second thoughts). I was thinking of leveling the...

The best way to get rid of weeds is to weed and feed as suggested. Moss can be a real pain to get rid of permanently. There are two main causes of moss. Too shady or lack of nutrients in the soil. Shade may or may not be fixable, it depends whats causing it and whether you want to open up to...

Thanks it looks like Plumb Centre stock them. BTW I hate paying their prices but I guess they don't really want to deal with DIY'ers. If I could wait I'd go elsewhere but necessity.... A previous post appears to confirm I can use 3/4 olives in a 22mm Compression fitting.

Well I never again will tackle that 'easy' job on a Sunday afternoon. I am in the process of refitting my bathroom. Complete change around so new plumbing. Everything ready for the floor to be put down apart from teeing into the 22mm feeds for the bath. So off with the water at the stopcock...

is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

Interestingly my local college (Basingstoke College of Technology) states that you DO need to be employed in the "Building Services". Sees a bit of a catch 22 to me. Maybe worth checking out whether they hold you to this if your college takes this stance.

Question for the plumbers out there. I have a standard gas fired CH system consisting of a Glowworm Ultimate 120 running 27 rads (yes 27), a Digistat RF room stat and a Danfoss controller with two seperate valves. The system was a little lethargic when I moved in so I powerflushed the system...

I think I am right in saying that the Software that MFI use has some sort of lease agreement with the vendors. I leaned across one of their PC's and found the name on the net. (Can't remember what it is called now.) I use AutoCad LT which is cheaper than full blow AutoCad but still expensive.

On reflection, I would go with your interpretation as I guess it is unlikely to have been wired as I described. (6 was from counting earth also)

I understand what you have replied but I don't think Woany has the existing system connected in this way. What you have both described is the standard way of wiring a two way switch and I would agree with you. I think he has described what is wired in his existing switch not the rose. This...

You need to keep the existing setup in your new switch across one set of terminals. On the other set of terminals (the outside light) you need to loop the live feed (red) from the existing wiring to the common terminal. The red wire from your outside light in L1. The black wire from your outside...

Maytag is not a hugely well known brand over here in the UK so I am unfamiliar with them. (You can get them but they are expensive).Do you normally add rinse aid to the machine and/or salt? The chalky residue sounds like lime. Have you changed your detergent type - some have the rinse and salt...
