I am in the middle of decorating the hallway and stairs. The floor is medium-colour oak wood, the stairs a light beige woven carpet (but will be changed at some point), and the walls will be a terracotta colour (perhaps a teeny bit lighter than the usual terracotta). The skirting and...

OK thanks for the input. So the concensus is to leave the existing timer as-is, and to simply replace the room thermostat with the new roomstat base unit - drawing power from the main boiler power. Thank you!

This relates to a Ravenheat CSI85A Wiring diagrams shown here: fig95: fig48: fig94: Anyways, the boiler has a 7 day timer integrated and a basic room thermostat downstairs (i.e. one with a simple temperature dial) I want to get a Wireless roomstat which I hope will control both...

I'll try and sort a photo or diagram this evening :) The depth of the unit is over 400mm, and the BD player is only 230mm, so I wont affect the strength of the unit. Ventilation at the sides? pah, there's over 150mm at the back plus some on top, so I'm sure there'll be no problems there.

Hello! Woodwork section this time. (boring background bit) I have made myself a lovely shelf to go across the alcove in my lounge, and on one side I have a unit underneath for all my av equipment. Unfortunately, I have just bought myself a sparkly new blu-ray player. It's 430mm wide. My unit...

A bit of activity overnight then... Thanks again for asking the further question and then also answering it too :)

I thank you all for your inputs - I did read other forum topics based on the same thing - and yes I agree that there appears to be more than one way to skin the cat though (thankfully) illegal/dangerous practices/ideas will be leapt on by the more knowledgeable. I can be confident in your...

Hi Thanks for the further input Mr Darkness. Our hob came with a mail-in offer of free pans, so have to wait for them to arrive before I can get stuck in - I was getting in now to do the preparatory 'think' stage, before the second 'think' stage (I read that in the forum guide :) ). This is...

I would prefer to aim towards the full load on the system - aka the Christmas day loading. Will umm and ahh over what to do with the oven. Its a fixed appliance so should be wired in properly, though it's power requirement is less than my kettle... Thanks for the advice echoes :)

Would I be right in saying that if I created a new circuit from the CU then it would have to be certified? - i.e. get someone qualified in to do it. I haven't done enough research on how exactly diversity is calculated (apart from the basic knowledge of what it is)... but you could be right...

Hello! I have just bought a 7.2kW induction hob to replace an old ceramic hot-plate 5.5kW hob (which is a pile of crap, 5 mins to heat up, 20mins to cool down, i have no idea why anyone would want one). On the same ring is a 2.4kW oven. The CU has a 32A breaker in it. There is cabling...

It seems as though the water pressure may have been the issue. When I got home, it was about 0.9bar, and the problem was there (btw the warning light was about the flame going out). I topped up to 1.2b, and got it all going again. and an hour later, still getting hot water on demand...

Replaced pipes and radiator in the lounge over the weekend. For this I had to drain the CH. After job completion, refilled the system, and fired up. Gurgled a lot in the boiler when the heating got going. Pipes got nice and hot, so no problems I thought, until I tested the DHW. Turning the tap...
