My Vaillant Ecotec 837 combi started making this noise either when we turn a hot water tap or when the heating ( on timer) kicks in about 6:30 in the morn ;- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWkJv1HK0J8 I use a VRT 392F bluetooth controller that worked fine since I bought the whole system...

how did you get on m8 ?

yes , Mine turned out to be the dryer housing outlet section loose. take the lid off by removing the two screws at the back of the washer, slide the lid off and there should be a big black plastic thing sat on top. look round and there will be screws holding it down , mine had worked loose and...

Ive had the LG F1403RD from new about 30 month and its just started making a shocking noise when on spin. I've levelled it up perfect but still makes this bad noise . I took a video ;- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBA8Gv1bO4k&feature=youtu.be the video doesn't do it justice , it's...

tbh I didnt but then again they've just had over £200 for a MOT new tyre and ball joints which I questioned but "thats the going rate" was the reply i got back. I just don't have the money to be truthful. I can get the whole part for £15 so I'd imagine put a £50 spot on top then VAT.

Can someone please let me know if I have to remove the manifold exhaust pipes to remove and replace the T-shaped breather pipe as (marked in red in the above picture) that is hidden behind. I don't wan't to start removing then find its not possible to get a new one on as I've only the one car.

That's my fear , does anyone know if I have to remove the manifold exhaust to access the breather pipe?

I think he gave an advisory casue the engine races the slows when idle. I thought it was the timing but when I took it back to ask him which pipe it was he said he could see it compress/concertina when the engine was running .,,, I had it off when I lifted the bonnet.

I've took a photo facing the engine and highlighted the pipes in questuion. the T-shaped pipe is tucked behind the big manifold pipes. the 2nd picture shows it bending to the manifold and the clip .

I own a ford focus 2003 and at the MOT one of the advisories was a faulty breather hose on the air intake hose to manifold. The car runs fast/slow when idle. When I asked the garage he pointed out the hose in question , its a T-shaped hose sat just behind the air intake for the manifold .Its...

turns out the bell was knackered , over 18 years old so got it replaced and all's well :):):)

can someone recommend a 1/2 decent replacement bell box ? are honeywell any good ?.

thanks for the reply, yeah im knackered m8, i got a friend to take a look and the alarm is 12 month old but the bell is at least 20 yrs old. He took a look at inside the bell and he said he thinks its had its day so he disabled it till i get a new one. sleep at last !!!!!!!.

the accenta8 mini alarm which was fitted last year keeps going off. the ZONE 1 light is on and every few hours the box outside starts making a loud beeping sound like the sound a large lorry does when reversing. i had absolutely no idea when it comes to repairng and setting up alarms. when...

My thoughts exactly , siliconed my windows 3 times with good quality silicone but everytime the mould came back. Like you said " windows are fitted poorly, with inadequate insulation around the frame" was exactly what mine were , thrown in by subbys for the council more than likely on price...

well you might be right but in my case the insulation had gone from just below the upstairs cill's all round the windows, It was just as easy to foam it. I know one thing , it cured it and 12 months on not a sign of damp to be seen with no need to leave the windows open all day. Sorry i...

Glad you get me drift now :) i chiselled the wood cill away , foamed , cut it level and relayed the trim back on a bed of silicone and some heavy weight all the way along to push it down till it had gone off. As for the sides ? again, cut the foam back, fill up to about 10mm shy of the window...

Should have said , i even chiselled abit of the wooden sill away to get at the bottom as it was black along there. abit of filler, silicone, paint and no-one know's. Like i said , i suffered for years before i moved out to rent the place but i couldnt rent till i solved it and expanding foam...

knock the plaster off the wall , only a bit between the window and the wall to expose the cavity, you can see the damp i had in my pics and by filling the cavity between this insulates the plastic and the silicon so so condensation travels.
