moderator, I enabled my smilies and edited a post with one in and it didn't change. Is it important though? I'll just try one here to see if it works now: :)

thanks for your help guys :)

Thanks again :) The pipes are all linked but not the gas one or the drain that goes outside so only four are linked. Do you think I should get him back? JohnD have checked services and there is a thick cable from the gas pipe to the consumer unit. There is nothing on the mains water pipe but...

Thanks - only have phone camera but can try and get it onto a computer. I can then put it on here? Some thick earth cable connects to the pipes with clamps. Think it must be 6mm so that's OK then? I don't see any cable that looks 16mm :shock: I would still like to see a picture of a...

Hello, Can anyone supply a picture of a combi boiler's bonded pipework? I would like to see what a professional installation is supposed to look like because I don't think the one I had done looks very good. Thank you :)

I have a Kingfisher Potterton Boiler which is controlled by a Landis & Gyr Thermostat (I dont know and cant figure out the model number). It's an old type 24 hour clock. I have switched on the Central Heating and kept the switch at "ON" with the timer (i hope) set to be on between 4 and 8 in...

thank you

The radiator is leaking and causing flooding to the flat below. I cannot see how to stop the water to the radiator in the room without turing off all the water in the flat.Could anyone help me please??

Hi there. Had a bit of a party at our house last night and the front door was kicked in. The part that the lock goes into in the frame has been ripped off along with a bit of wood from the door frame. I've managed to reattach the 2nd part of the lock so the door does lock but its obviously...

yeah, system restore works with this. Make sure you havn't got Automatic updates turned on.

Anybody know where i can get hold of the plastic touch latches like the ones seen here http://www.spdhardware.com/lc13.htm at the bottom. Trying to repair my kitchen bin! :?

I am extending a conduit in my garage to add a new socket and I was expecting to be able to use twin and earth but the existing cable is separate conductors. I decided to strip the earth conductor from some twin and earth and buy some separate g/y conduit wire. I've got it here and it's...

About an hour I think....he always seems quite thorough

My plumber has just done my annual boiler service and told me my boiler thermostat needs replacing. Interestingly, a few days later there was water dripping from my expansion tank overflow. When I looked at the boiler the temperature setting was on max and the knob broken (he did mention the...

i vote collins also but just cause its already #1.

The mains flex is not detatchable. The plug on the Wahl trimmers is rated at 250v with a 13A fuse. Since the plug has three prongs, I thought the one at the top was always the 'earth.' On the trimmers themselves it says '240V~50Hz.' I don't know where to find a 'double insultated symbol'...

I use trimmers for my beard. They have a normal three-pin plug, same as any tv, radio, kettle etc. I would like to be able to use them in the bathroom to allow the sink to catch stray hairs. Right next to the sink I have a shaver socket with an on/off switch and a 115/240v selector...

anyone else care to comment?

thanks for the quick reply. that £45 ro unit would be good, but how much do those things cost to install? i'm really not confident about messing about with the plumbing myself, plus this is a rented house so i'd need permission etc. what i'm thinking is putting each cartridge into a...
