I have an Escort Van with lower than normal power throughout the rev range, though especially poor at low to medium revs. The model is 1.8D normally aspirated, 1999 (V) with 120,000 miles. I only have a little history as follows:- 1. It has been like this since I bought it a year ago at...

He is using Windows Media Player to create his libraries, and ultimately transfers some of them to a Creative Zen MP3 / WMA player for mobile use.

Any chance of a translation into English?

My son has just stolen the hard drive off my desktop and installed it into his PC. He has transferred all of his music files (his "library") onto this new drive (d: ) but now keeps getting prompted to buy new licences when he tries to play the music. What can he do/what should he have done to...

suggest you get a doctor to do that job, and be sure to use lots of that wiggly killing cream, then you won't have to cross fingers or legs :lol: :lol:

I seem to remember working on a Powermax this year, from memory it has a built-in thermal store and the secondary heat exchanger is copper, therefore the use of strong HCL should be resisted (probably best to use that on stainless steel only), your problem as the user would be how to recirculate...

I suggest using a programmable 'stat as they give greater user flexibility and tighter control than a mains 'stat used without the neutral connection (due to lack of accelerator function).

LearnerPlumber, have you searched for the user manual on the Glowworm website? Could be a good place to start! At risk of spoonfeeding you, turn off the heating power (boiler dead). Turn on the power, turn on the DHW demand, does the fan start (listen)?. Does the APS operate (listen...

Possibly the cylinder 'stat has been wired wrongly. as the system works when the motorised 3-port ("diverter") valve calls for heat. On hot water only duty the "call for heat" signal (measured between the orange valve lead and neutral) is provided only from the programmer terminal 3 via the...

You can buy (or rent) diamond core drills which don't neeed hammer action, and make a much neater job. I suggest 38mm which will allow use of 1 1/4" (32mm) plastic waste pipe as the sleeve. This will be big enough to allow use of 28mm boiler pipes, necessary if the heat output is over 60,000...

Thanks again. The password prompt is the first one, before the operating system loads, so I suppose it's the BIOS password. It consists of a locked padlock, with a small safe alongside it. As soon as the ENTER key is pressed it changes to an arrow in a circle, with OK underneath. If the wrong...

Could be a number of things, try checking things which could have been changed/tampered with, like:- 1. Cold feed from loft tank, is there a piece of scale/debris/dead bat/old carpet/loose insulation over the tank exit? ie something has dropped into it. 2. Is the (usally a gate valve) valve on...

Depends on what you want to achieve. Have you considered also increasing the size of the cold feeds from (a presumed) 22mm to 28mm? This works especially well on the cold feed to the DHW cylinder, as does removing scale from the bottom of the cylinder in hard water areas. So we've had yes...

Yes, the battery polarity is correct, it's connected to a polarised plug. I even checked it's polarity compared to the + sign on the body. It won't let me keep the F1 button pressed when the system password prompt appears, and as soon as I've pressed ENTER to OK the password the fault panel...

For what it's worth I did my EAL limited scope ('B' level) last May at the local college. Experienced lecturers, between 3 and 8 students in each class, and a total of 8 days over 4 weeks. I found it intense, with little time for questions, and it cost almost a grand! I also took the £300...

As one Luddite, I have aesthetic and other objections to the use of plastic, mainly based on the following:- 1. It sags and needs greater clipping/restraining. 2. In heating applications it expands and contracts with the varying water temperatures, this expansion is catered for by the...

Thanks for the reply, tried that; F1 held down at turn-on, pressed repeatedly, and held down with no improvement. The sequence is 1. Turn ON. 2. 5 seconds later 196032 KB OK appears, with 161 below it. 3. After a further 7 seconds 163 appears under that accompanied by two beeps. 4. After...

Hi all, I got POST error messages 00161 and 00163 yesterday and the PC will not boot-up. The codes (from IBM website) indicate a dead backup battery and lack of date/time data. This is consistent with the fault, and the battery certainly was dead ( should be 3v, measured <0.2v). I have replaced...

Any buried gas pipe should be sleeved/wrapped to protect it from corrosion, and have at least 75mm of covering if subjected to foot traffic, 375mm if vehicles may pass over or near it. Note that these are MINIMA.

Lower return water temperatures promote greater heat transfer from heat exchanger gases into the water, hence greater efficiencies. With a condensing boiler the latent heat in the products of combustion (methane + oxygen gives CO2 + water as steam) starts to be recovered when the return water...
