    Ceiling Light Loop In - options?

    Thanks - so that's thoroughly confused me! So I have connected the live, neutral and Earth in the connections included in the light as purchased. I have then connected the red loop wires into a single choc block. I wrapped the choc block in insulation tape as I heard this covers the live screws...

    Radiator missing part???

Unfortunately I put the old rad outside the house and it was taken so I'll need to buy a new one- this is all foreign to me - could you post a link to the exact product I need? I tried searching on screwfix for one but they only seem to do long ones which I assume isn't...

    Radiator missing part???

    Hi I recently had a radiator changed in an upstairs bedroom and thought I'd use the one that was removed downstairs . I've tried to replace it, but that seems to be a piece missing that would screw into the radiator and over the valve. Can anyone tell me what the missing part is? I assume I can...

    Clunking Tap

    Hi We have a real problem with our upstairs bathroom sink tap. Every time we turn it on and it starts to get hot water through it, it starts clunking really fiercely and the water comes out in spurts. If you turn the tap slightly either way it stops at clunking. We are running off a Worcester...

    Fitting a Dt20 on Worcester 28i

    Hi I have recently had a Worcester Greenstar 28i bolier fitted. They were going to fit my existing controls with it (Danfoss FP715 two channel programmer and Honeywell wired stat) but when it came to it, the Danfoss Programmer they found that it wasn't compatible. So now we have the boiler...

    Ideal Isar 24HE Leaking

    The guy came round and it seems to be a leaking auto air vent. Problem is that it's going to be after the weekend till they can fix it and it's leaking on the PCB - It's switched off but still leaking. I asked the company and they said we'd just have to hope it doesn't damage the PCB. Is there...
