Thread necro... The Makita drills that I bought are both going strong after fifteen years'. The 3.0Ah LXT batteries are as good as new and the 10.8v batteries are just about okay, but perhaps holding less charge. I can buy replacement batteries from almost any decent tool shop. I couldn't...

Several times. I'm still waiting for the epiphany.

So... which output for lamp to be switched between dimmed output and full output?

I have the same sensor and I will be using it with dimmable halogen lamps. The sensor is advertised as being a dusk to dawn sensor, kicking up to full power when motion is detected. I cannot relate the sensor's function with the wiring diagram. I was expecting a single output which the...

If it helps anyone decide what to buy, here's what I ended up doing. As usual with these things, I made a meal out of it and bought an Erbauer 24v cordless combi, a DeWalt 12v cordless drill/driver, a Makita BHP452 18v cordless combi and a Makita 9.6v cordless drill/driver :lol: What I...

I just bought a 24v Erbauer cordless combi drill. Quality seems okay but I've not used it in anger. Heavy though and there might be a touch of chuck run-out. Screwfix brag about them having Mabuchi motors (we assume that's a good thing :lol:) and metal gearboxes. Could be good, could be...

True... on a timber framed house I would have been more surprised if I'd found myself drilling through a badger :D How would you find out exactly what that wood is, considering it's hidden in the wall cavity? Are there any other precautions I should know before drilling another hole? Why...

I'm fitting an outside tap to my home. When I bought the house I was told by the surveyor that it's timber framed. I started by drilling through the outside wall for the pipe. I drilled through the masonry and then after a large gap (2 - 3 inches) the drill hit wood. I lost confidence to...

Programmer installed and working great! :D Just a bit of paintwork to sort and it's done. I now wake up to a warm house, and come home to a warm house :D Thank you again for your help :)

Hurrah! Just the answer I was hoping for :D Thank you for all your help. If any of you own a Saab and need help with that, then check out the SaabCentral forums. I'm one of the "C900 Workshop" moderators :D Now to search the forums for the reason my boiler won't hold pressure!

Thank you for the replies... I'll get wiring today :D Just one thing though: when the Honeywell thermostat switches off, the boiler goes through a cool-down cycle. With the Horstmann wired as described, will the boiler no longer do the cooling cycle? Would that damage the boiler in the long...

My home's central heating is currently controlled by this Honeywell room thermostat: Which controls this Worcester 24CDi boiler: The thermostat is going increasingly haywire, and its actions have little to do with room temperature :) Also, the mechanical programmer on the Worcester...
