    Raise temp of cold water tank

    Temperature/flow of our electric showers is good at the moment, but, with the Scottish winter fast approaching that will soon come to an end. Cold water tank feed becomes colder and colder - shower temp dial goes up to compensate - flow rate gets slower and slower :cry: This may have the...

    3 loos - various cistern fill rates

    I just have to assume it was her - probably when I disappeared in the garage/up in the loft to deal with the no hot water scenario :) That's my excuse and I'm sticking too it. Thanks for all the suggestions/help - I'm a step further forward in my diy knowledge!! Homer

    3 loos - various cistern fill rates

    When I took the lid off the tank the ballcock was 'suspended' in the air - it hadn't dropped down as the water level decreased so never actually did its job. Will replace it this weekend. All taps were opened 1/4 turn initially and water flowed slowly as expected - with the exception of the...

    3 loos - various cistern fill rates

    No success yet in borrowing an aquavac, so thought I might as well drain the system down and try refilling again from scratch in the meantime. Closed off supply to main tank in loft and opened all cold taps to drain system - upstair taps ran dry after tank emptied - but noticed downstairs loo...

    3 loos - various cistern fill rates

    Excuse my dense question :oops: The current flow from the bath tap is pretty decent - how much water will need to be 'pulled' through before it gets to the airlock? Homer

    Dell laptop studio 1555 cd stuck

    When you turn the laptop on, try pressing the eject button immediately - before Windows tries to read what's inside the drive. [I think it's next to F12 and it's orange?] It may be the split second needed to eject it. Homer

    Patio Heater Not Working

    I found with mine I often wasn't allowing long enough before pressing the igniter [needed to wait in excess of 45 secs]. Also, found this via googly - might be a start: Homer 1. The pilot will not light at all but there is a spark from the igniter and it won't light from a match...

    New build Bleeping

    1 long, 2 short beeps usually means a display adapter problem. If you are using a standalone video card try using a different one - or does the m/b have onboard? 3 long beeps usually points to a keyboard error. Homer
