Ta for assistance, tried what you've said, but had to do a variation to get something to work. Let me describe what I did to see if it helps: Going left to right I have: On/Off switch End light Salt light Rinse light 65 degree wash button with light 50 degree wash button with light...

My machine has an intermittent fault. Summary (apologies for length) - It's an inherited dishwasher from previous owners (who say they never had problems with it) so don't know the full history. - worked fine for a couple of weeks on 65 degrees setting, cleaning well and then just ran on...

Does someone have a summary of test modes / test cycles for UK Neff dishwashers (I have model S5444X1GB/08 fully integrated - it has 4 buttons, a 65, 50, 35 and rinse wash). I found a site and manual referring to US models but am not sure how that maps across to my model and if I did start the...

Ta for the info on the extra earthing link, don't think they have that at the moment. They are deep boxes, defo more than 25mm, I'd have to recheck if they are 35mms or more, but sounds like fitting flush screwless ones could be an issue... Will have to do more checking when home.

Hi all, The house I'm in (old victorian house) has existing sockets in the skirting board- plastic fronts sitting on metal back boxes (the metal back boxes are fairly 'flush' with the wood surface). I've read quite a few posts on here about this and it seems that as long as there is enough...

Further update - pulled the integrated diswasher out, tipped it back and forth (to virtually 20 degrees forward and 45 degrees back) and no water came out. It was fairly light too which would suggest not too much water kicking around to me. With hindsight I didn't disconnect the feed and...

Bit of an update but unfortunately I haven't been able to find the time (or my security screw torx bits) to get the integrated dishwasher out and lean it to see if water comes out. I did try a cycle at 50 degrees, whilst I was here and paying attention though the cycle, indeed it did warm the...

Peet - that is very helpful. I started stage 1 of the patching up yesterday actually. I've did hoover the old holes and peel back paper around the hole. One main thing I didn't do was apply PVA, or use bonding. I have gone for a layering approach using one coat plaster (did 2 coats...

Numpty question, but joint cement isn't the same as jointing compound is it? But Easi-fill powder will do the same, right? Anyone know if B&Q do a ready mix jointing compound?

Ta for the advice. Yes I did stop at the stuff that had a bit of rigidity to it - most of what I removed was crumbly to the touch. Actually wondering if I should remove the wallpaper, a bit concerned that the paper is keeping quite a bit of the plaster in place quite nicely and wetting it to...

I was removing some built ins in the spare bedroom and parts of the plaster came away (the walls are lining paper over plaster on brick - Victorian house). On tapping certain bits were quite loose and so i pulled back certain buts. I have now have some small holes in the wall back to brick...

Does anyone have any opinion after using the Zircon i520, or indeed the i700?

Thanks for that, think I'm now sorted on the the equipment questions , now onto technique. This is going to be subjective and ultimately different things work for different people. But would appreciate any advice/comment/opinions on: Cutting in: Seen some suggestions to do it in...

But, to clarify my last paragraph, on rerunning it again (after a reset) the water was only luke warm - even 30 mins into the cycle. After around 2 hours it was still washing and I needed to go to sleep so I just stopped and reset it. I should have more time tonight or tomorrow night so will...

I think I have a similar issue - model S5444X1GB/08 - c 5 years old. We've inherited it recently from old owners of the place. Worked fine for first couple of weeks, then found a wash was still going the following morning. I opened it at that point and it was dry, but a film of salt or...

I had a similar problem before and the advice I had was be very careful of using kind of paints unless you are sure problem that caused it in the first place has gone away, it only tends to push the problems somewhere else! To share my experiences, careful inspection of the main issue showed...

Thank for the reply. Seen those Wooster's recommended by others too. Was on the trade1st site did make me wonder though, it's all very well getting a better roller sleeve, but what about the rest of my kit which may need upgrading to match (currently a Wilko roller frame and tray)...

Hi, following on from some good prep help I've got here already, I thought I would tap the knowledge bank for some advice on the painting itself - paintbrushes, rollers and paints! 1. When cutting in, what sized paint brush do you normally use? 2. In terms of rollers, I've normally used a...

That could be a great solution, came across some commercial Mira stuff yesterday which seemed pretty slim, but thanks for the suggestion!

Had a look at some installation docs and remeasured the gap. It's actually around 137mm/138mm between centres. Those mira connectors give max 5mm adjustment per inlet, s0 100mm doesn't quite get you to 150mm. Also not sure I have enough of an inlet pipe to mount these properly - at the...
