Hi, Our bathroom fan failed. I checked the transformer (240V in/12V SELV AC out, timed) and it is the actual problem (no output). I swapped the faulty transformer with an identical model from the other bathroom and the fan worked again, so I know that the problem is with the original...

Thanks, I've switched the immersion heater off and increased the time during which the boiler heats up DHW to 1h/day. I'll increase it if I get complaints...

Hi, We are a couple living in a rented 3 bed house with a boiler and tank equipped with an immersion heater, both located in the loft. My elec bill for the 6 weeks to Oct 9th is quite high (£121 for 970 units) and I suspect it's because of the way I set the immersion heater. We have a...

Exactly Nick ;-) It's summer now and the only demand placed on the boiler is from DHW, so fingers crossed...

Thanks Nickso and Agile. I looked up the fan with a plan to purchase it but just before payment I figured I might as well make a last ditch attempt at fixing the problem by removing the old fan, taking it apart, cleaning it (you wouldn't believe the pile of dust I extracted from it!) and oiling...

Hi, We woke up this morning to a grinding, squeaky noise coming from our old "Fer Industrie" combi boiler and no heating or DHW. Upon taking the cover off it appeared that the noise was emanating the fan in the top right hand corner (see pics with red arrow pointing to part). The little fan...

Hi, My girlfriend and I live in a small, 1st floor flat which we own in south London. I'm thinking about having this window replaced with double-glazed as the sitting room is excessively noisy with the traffic outside (see 2 pics below). Here are my questions: 1. is this something I can...

1999 British-registered Ford Focus Diesel 124000 miles I've just purchased this car used from colleague whom I trust. Lately though, as I'm driving, accelerating in second, third or fourth gear, the engine just revvs back down to idle for now apparent reason. At the same time, the glow...
