I did say it was all very academic. :)

Actually I by flow I was thinking in terms of velocity - i.e. a needle side pipe with water flowing at 1 metre/sec will provide colder water than a 22mm pipe flowing at 1 metre/sec (but of course the 22mm pipe would fill the bath much quicker). Of course with the 22mm pipe you have a lot more...

Smaller pipe = greater surface area to cross section ratio, so greater heat loss at the same flow rate

Ah that subtle difference between doing the work properly and being able to provide evidence that it may have been done properly. :mischeivious smiley:

Make sense as more water will be going around the heating circuit so the return temp at the boiler will be lower so boiler won't cycle off and on so frequently. If bypass was open too far before it would have prevented sufficent water going around the heating circuit - have you noticed the...

Serious or not - I'd like to know Softus' normal method of putting the car on axle stands (i.e. the one that requires a charged battery) :shock:

I hope Fisher actually meant "I'm confident about the quality of my electrics" :?

Annealing = heating and allowing to cool slowly to make workable. Tempering = heating and holding at a temperature to drive out impurities, sometime many cycles are used, and cooling is rapid That's what I remember from O-Level Metalwork :?

Discerning theives - it is a french car :)

Relay?

HID Xenon lights and plain Xenon blubs are two different things. Xenon bulbs are just a step up from Halogen blubs. HID are a different kettle of fish altogether (these are so much brighter that new cars fitted with them must also have automatic headlamp levellers fitted by law - to avoid...

Or fit a battery isolator, they're only about a tenner. :wink:

Of course anyone not yet entitled to vote knows how to drive a web site (even if badly designed), wouldn't the real test been to have got your mate to do the test :)

As suggested it could just be poorly calibrated. Listen for the stat clicking on and off as you turn the dial and compare the click points with a thermometer reading.

Most people come here to improve their knowledge and probably do a better job as a result. If people show signs of lack of understanding they are often told that they don't seem competent and to leave the work to a spark. HVMAN - If you are serious about stopping people killing themselves...

Sounds very familar (but wrong way round) - given your location it's not a 1980's Wimpey 3 bed is it? How much space between the hinge and the right hand wall? Ours is 6in and that's where I put the shower pull cord.

Is there not an extractor fan connected to the shower - would be running all the time if there was.

At a guess right click on the message.

Put a window in the wall through to the back of the cupboard then mount TV in the cupboard. Seems easier and safer than trying to build an enclosure.
