After spending that much on a cable how about a £25 13A fuse https://www.russandrews.com/mains-fuses/ Fuse review "The Cheapest Significant Upgrade Ever" I fitted one of these to my mains cable for my HiFi, the first time I played music it was like I had bought a new set-up, everything improved...

Yes it is for an Electric vehicle. The main consumer unit will be on the other side of the wall in what was the garage and probably boxed in. As the garage has now been converted to a room I assume the owner didn’t want it inside and on show.

Seems strange I can stand in the street and look inside this households unit. I can't see anything that shows an IP rating. Maybe it has or maybe it hasn't

Has a hinged Perspex cover. It is located by a pavement on the highway

The best bit to the story is that when walking around showrooms with baths on display I noticed some bath panels were yellowing. I came to the conclusion then that bath panels were like white gloss paint and that they yellowed when not subject to good light. I think the Trojan panels turn...

Trogon Baths said it was sunlight the caused the bath panel to turn yellow. The bath panel does not get direct sunlight until 5pm and then only in the summer. They couldn’t explain why the panel under the wash basin also changed colour. No smokers in the house and the bathroom has only been...

No worse than audio power cables. 1.5m power cords selling for £££ yet they connect to the existing house wiring.

Most DIY sheds come with felt that is like tissue paper, as you have found out. Give it 2 or 3 years and you should be replacing the felt.

Yes

So in June 2018 I had a Trojancast Concert Reinforced P Shape Shower Bath delivered. Within a few months the side panel started to turn yellow. After around a year it was quite noticeable but I couldn't find the receipt nor could I remember where I bought it from. Today I found the order...

Top man, thanks!

Turned the boiler on for heat for the first time since a boiler service which seemed more of a safety check and nothing else. Boiler took maybe 20 minutes to get from 37C to 65C with the temperature alternating between the temperature and the photo shown. Anyone got a theory why it took so...

I have just taken out a WB Maintenance contract on my 12 year old boiler, as it is starting to get old. They asked no questions. As for the water meter, I was just given one a few years back, no checks no nothing.

Just thinking ahead to my next boiler, which will probably be a Baxi 800. On a Baxi to use OpenTherm using a Baxi uSense smart controller, the controller has to be hard wired to the boiler, which is no good for me. Looking at the Nest, it appears the hard wiring only goes to the Nest Heat Link...

Thanks for the suggestion. Just checked and it is as good as new.

Model RR82PDRS which is 9 years old. I have a 1.8m Samsung larder fridge which I had to empty and drag out for a boiler service. It was refilled and switched back on and then the following day it was switched off, emptied, put back and then refilled again. The fridge was kept upright during...

https://www.buildbase.co.uk/link/1/2815024_31127_t.pdf The tin says it will seal cracks of up to 10mm and mine is 5mm. Would I still be better to put a scrim over the crack? Good shout guys. Acrypol + comes with the fibres while Acrypol without the plus comes without. I note the above comment...

I have a well maintained hand built shed covered in quality felt maybe built around 12-15 years ago. Around 6 years ago I coated the felt with Roof Trade Roof Sealer, which is a solvent based acrylic coating. There was nothing wrong with the roof but I just wanted to add a layer of protection...

I am thinking about the day my boiler packs in and what to replace it with. I had already selected the Worcester Bosch 2000 when I came across this Youtube Video made by a heating engineer who installs boilers. He was not very complementary about the WB 2000 with its plastic internal parts and...

Thanks everyone who took the time to reply. I have gone for the 10 year battery solution. I have marked the date on the inside of the case as a reminder. The LED's give a really narrow flash beam, which is fine when looking directly at the case from the same height but next to no flash from...
