I’m planning to get Bessie (the current boiler, 22 years old, a Gloworm fuel saver mark II with 15 kW of throbbing power!) replaced with a combi :evil: I know you won’t want to miss this chance to tell me: + how terrible combi’s are and that it won’t work, + what I’ve forgotten, +...

Yes. 20 l/min from sink or bath taps. Boiler rated at 13 l/m deltaT35. Because working in bathroom - all needs to be connected via RCD - I thought. But I guess not if he's classed as working in a cupboard (that just happens to be in a bathroom). Nah.... Xmas drinks fund. I read it on...

Looking to take advantage of the scrappage scheme to replace current creaking boiler with a combi. Have a quote. Also got a question. Combi is going in to bathroom airing cupboard where hot water tank currently is. There's a dedicated immersion heater circuit from the cu in twin core and...

Thanks Mikey and Ed. That helps. Terminate the decommissioned wires to earth using a connector block to an earth terminal in the patress box and get the whole thing inspected by a competent person. Will do. Leighloz

Hi there, I posted a similar question back in the Summer 8) (not that it was sunny!). You can get around the problem using some clever micro-electronics. Simply fit a master unit where you have the live coming in and then slaves at each of the two way/intermediate locations you want to...

[/url] Short reply as long initial post. Would do my best Sid James cackle, but I'm rubbish at it. Love the idea, but the main light is also switched using the same single gang plate (i.e there are two switches on each plate - one for the overhead lights and one for the wall lights). I was...

Hi There, I have some 12V G4 bulb wall lights switched from multiple locations that are too bright - what's the best way to make them dimmer? I have two wall lights wired through a junction box with each light connected to the switched live (i.e. they are wired in parallel so both lights...
