Thanks for you help. Very helpful. why dont you like wireless? I had a chat with an alarm installer yesterday who said that they were very robust and that I should not be scared of them. Do thers have a different experiance? Rgds.

I am in the market for a DIY alarm system but unfortunately I know as much about alarm systems as I do about the state of the Latvian Economy. I do know: 6 zones should be enough. Panic alarm Bell Box - preferably not bright yellow though - eg. Yale. Needs to be robust - I hate things...

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I agree that it could be quite easy to **** of a good builder by being too book-wise. Don't worry I know when to bite my lip. I guess the real key here is getting a good builder and that is fully what I intend to do. That way I can put my feet up and...

Sorry. Misread your post. Dunno why Pro is £35 extra.

I have been running a Media Centre Edition for four years without issues. It can be 'interesting' to configure if you want it to do 'non-standard' things like play Div-X etc. It is XP Pro WITH the Media Centre software on top which is why you pay more. You may also get a MC remote thrown in...

The web site is crappy but then again so was Mr. Dysons once upon a time.. I also agree a shells(!) or white blanking plates looks crap but I'm sure I can think of something classy and clever 8-) I might by one as a test run.....

Thats what I'm planning Woody! I bought a couple of books from Amazon more to give me something to read over the Crimbo hols rather than something I expect will be fantastically usefull..But we will see. Ta. Scott.

http://www.sensor.co.uk/SS01.htm Does anyone have any experiance of these puppies please?? Reliability? Compliance? Ease of Use? They look cool but I don't want to invest if they are rubbish to use or even worse - illegal... Regards.

Cheers Gents. Ill take a look at TLC and will also see how close is the local wholesaler. Websites are very useful though... Sat at work at the moment ordering tons of sand that will be dumped on my drive wednesday....nice! Scott.

Thanks for everyones advice. My secret weapon in all this is my long suffering Dad who has been a builder all his life and a clerk of works in the last 15. I will use him as a help line and second set of eyes should I need to. I am trying not to bother him too much though as the last...

Cheers Bigspark. I'm suprised you think it's cheap as its Screwfix.com. Somethings are cheap on there but every now and again they throw in a 'gotch'ya'. Just checking it wasnt one of them. :-) Ta. Scotster.

4.0mm 3-Core SWA Cable - 25m = £53.01 Seems steep. No?

I am just about to start a single rear extension and double story side extension project and I would like some advice. I have got an architect but I would like to do some research of my own and not go into this completely clueless. Also I am managing the builder and I would like at least to...

S'Ok. I think I found the answer. Google is your friend. http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=9970

The cable has worn at the entrance to the casing where the yellow power switch is and I need to cut and rejoin it. The power swicth and teh grey surrounding assembly cover is clearly removable but is there a trick? I have been attacking it with a screw driver to prise and pull but Im...

Cheers Tony. I understand that. I guess my real question is: 'What is most likely to be the failure point based on it being temperature sensitive' Also take into account that after the fourth or fifth button press it runs OK so whatever needs 'warming up' is warming pretty quickly...

Ill check it out on Monday COG. Im away for the weekend. Why would low pressure be temperature related though? It runs fine during the summer when the ambient temp is high. Thanks for your help so far.

One light flashing. The radiator one. The flame red indicator light cuts before that starts. So it is the main burner dropping out. You can hear the burner switch off.

I have a combi gas bolier (worcester 24cdi) which keeps cutting out when supplying hot water or heating. It runs for about a minute or so then there is a slight clunk and it cuts out. I have to reset it using the little red button. I repeat that about eight times. Then it runs fine...
