I am in the process of replacing the door hinges on my (over 10 years old) Magnet kitchen cupboards. The hinges are mounted in two ways:- 1) simple with small chipboard screws securing the 35mm boss 2) nasty - pressed in with no screws to remove. Before I do something bad - can anyone...

We do not have the answer phone option configured. I guess this could be a good idea given the problem we think we have.

We have had several reports of people calling us, getting a ringing tone, but our phones do not ring. This seems unlikely to me but my wife is convinced it is happening. We have three phones connected to various extension points in the house but none appear to ring. Talktalk have checked the...

I am redesigning the utility and looking for any bright ideas on how to make more easy the movement of a very heavy (Miele) washing machine in and out of a fitted space just wide enough to accommodate the machine. Someone must have come across some good ideas or bits of kit to help with this...

I am looking for an inset stainless utility sink of good quality with 2 tap holes for separate pillar taps with a bowl size of approx 430 x 370 and 160 deep and a RH drainer . Have looked in as many places as I can think of but not yet found a good match. Any ideas gratefully received -...

The garage is joined to the house and the existing socket is part of the house ring main. I think the solution is to get a new circuit installed using an RCBO installed in the spare slot on the boards direct rail - as you suggest. Thanks very much for your help.

The socket in my garage is used to run a pond pump and occasionally power tools. The pond pump seems to fail every 3 or 4 years and trips the RCB in in the main board and takes out all the sockets in the house - not much fun if on holiday. Is it possible to separate the garage circuit so it does...

Hi, I posted the original problem. The reason for the boiler continually cutting out was that the pump (controlled by the PCB in the boiler) was not always running. Hence the boiler became too hot and the safety cut out operated as designed. You need first to find out if the problems are caused...

Just to provide some feedback to this topic. Range Tribune has now been installed for almost one year. Am delighted with its performance in all respects. :D :D :D

I have recently had the pressure dropping on the central heating system. Dropped from 1bar to zero in three days. The Engineer restored pressure to 1.5bar via filling loop and asked me to monitor. Lost about .2 bar in first two days and then dropped to zero in about three days as before...

Can anybody give their experience of finding a leak in central heating feed pipes buried in concrete using thermal or similar detection systems. Leak seems to be worse when system is hot and total loss is about cup full every two or three days. If pipes need to be bypassed any views about...

I have measured pressures again as follows:- Static 4 bar - as before 1 tap open - delivering approx 14 litres / min - 2 bar 2 taps open - delivering approx 20 litres in total - 1.6 bar 3 taps open - delivering approx 30 litres in total - .8 bar (position 1 metre after water meter)...

:?: I am planning to have a 250L unvented system installed. From another thread have come to the conclusion that most of the main unvented systems have similar performance. Having read various other threads it is clear that pressure and flow are important. My situation is as follows:- 1)...

:?: Thanks for all the comment and advice. A couple of further questions. As part the project to install the unvented cylinder it will be moved to new (very strong) location in the loft immediately above the existing location. Is it OK to leave the pump, Y plan, etc at the lower level and...

Reading up on the web it appears that Range have completely updated their manufacturing facility. However, have no real knowledge as to the truth of this. The three friends of mine who have Range systems are very pleased with them. All are pre plumbed units which may reduce the overall number of...

:D :D Called Potterton on Thursday. Did not mention watchdog but said that my original installation engineer indicated there have been some problems and gave them the serial number. Service guy immediately said they would send someone to check and if the boiler has a manufacturing fault will...

Thanks very much for the replies and information. There is quite a big price variation between these items. I am struggling to understand the real key issues:- - assume that all those that are stainless steel and 25 yr garantee are structurally sound. Some have a few more exclusions? - reheat...

:?: I am planning to have an unvented indirect hot water system installed. I had virtually decided on a Range 250L as recommended by a couple of friends but then noticed the MegaFlow system which seems to be the market leader. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the MegaFlow is worth the...
