Yeah, magnaboosters are what I use. No complaints

Hi I may have dreamt this, but I thought I read somewhere that there was a problem with magnacleans releasing large chunks of sediment, which go on to block the plate exchanger etc. I can't seem to find the thread now that I need it! The reason I ask, is that I have been to an ecotec...

Up to '03 the corsa haynes manuals are for combos as well

Hi I have a 55 reg 1.3 combo van. When I look at the haynes manual for the corsa for this year it says, not for combo vans! Is this because the van shape etc. hasn't changed, whereas the corsa has. And with that, should I be getting an older haynes manual? Any help, much appreciated...

Hi I have just bought a van and will sell my car. The insurance company (Bell) don't do van insurance so I can't transfer the policy. The car insurance runs out on 1st May '11. To cancel it, it will cost me approx. £55. This is more than the money left on the policy. I was thinking of...

Thanks, but I managed to get it working by running the battery flat. When I started charging it again, it had reset itself. Bit of a wierd one!

Hi My Anton Sprint 2000 seems to have gone a bit crazy! I switched it on and it suddenly read 300+ CO ppm and then wouldn't drop, even though after my first shock thinking there was CO present, I took it outside and it still won't drop to zero. This means it now won't turn off! I tried...

Sadly, this is what I suspected!

I suppose I should give you a bit more background. This is an insurance job. A leak from a flat above fried a very old boiler. The owners were in the process of moving house and couldn't leave without resolving and wanted a replacement. The insurance company and freeholder have been very...

I know it's a legal obligation to noftify for boilers. More wanting to know about timescale & holding out for payment first

Hi Is there a legal obligation to notify gas safe of a new boiler installation immediately after completion? sometimes before receiving payment. I always notify straight away, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to chase a current customer for payment. Would I be in the wrong to not...

We can hold out for another day using lamps on the ring main. I know screwfix do MK, Crabtree, Volex, Wylex. But I can go to merchants tomorrow for Protec one. My main question is whether this is easy to replace. I'm a heating engineer, so not a total spanner with my hands, but I have a...

Currently, I have left the bulb out.

Protec. I seem to remember this might have happened before, a couple of years ago, but can't be sure it was the 6A circuit. Generally, the consumer unit looks fairly new - we've lived here for almost 4 years and it was here when we arrived

Is that an easy job? does it just pull out and click back in?

Hi My lighting circuit MCB tripped last night when a bulb blew. When I went to reset it after replacing the bulb, it wouldn't stay in the up position. There doesn't seem to be the same physical resistance when I move the switch and it just falls back to the down position. Anyone know what...

Am I to assume the shower cold is mains as well? If so, then you will just need a single negative head pump for the whole house hot supplies. Regards, Graham

OK, so you have a shower only, pumped on the Monsoon Are all your other taps (except kitchen cold) fed from the tank? If so, the monsoon is designed as a whole house pump. You can connect the pump to the main distribution to the house hot (via the flange) & cold. If, however, all your...

Originally, I thought you were talking about just pumping the hot. If you had cold mains on mixer taps, you may not get the flow rate to activate a standard pump on the hot, so it's recommended that you get negative head.

Hang on, just re-read your post. I'm confused? you already have the pump. Is it a twin pump? what are doing with the cold?
