I've had a cheapo cordless drill for about five years (occasional use) and the two batteries are now about done, and won't really take a charge. If anyone knows any tricks to revitalise them I'm all ears as the drill is in good nick. To buy replacement batteries would be about the same as I...

still a fud I see softus

It was going out every week, Tony applied some TLC and it was ok for a couple of months, then it started going off every month, and now between the 6th of January and the 12th of January it has started to go off every Thursday. Then on the 13th of January the tale is recounted with the monthly...

Don't for a minute think the police are remotely interesed in this kind of crime....you are the nuisance for wasting their time by reporting it. I was doing a job four stories up, residential street -not busy or quiet, heard a smash, looked out the window to see a head and shoulders in my van...

Can anyone tell me if there is a supplier's website which details if light fitting are class 1 or 2, ie if they need an earth. I'm looking for a replacement light fitting for a kitchen where no earth is available, and I need something other than a simple pendant. Also anyone know if there is...

Could be pump, listen for it. If not pump it could be fan/aps, listen for fan. If it runs in hot water mode it will not be fan/aps.

I'm guessing it is tripping your rcd Could be a faulty pump (if HW is gravity) or a faulty zone valve (less likely)

steve, steve, steve, steve.......................why do you jump into a post where you cannot offer any insight or help into the questions posed, and then go onto offer your digital image of energy conservation? You may not see the point but others do. That does not mean you are completely...

there may be links from here http://shop.ebay.co.uk/_Gadgets__electrisave_W0QQ_nkwZelectrisaveQQ_fxdZ1QQ_npmvZ3

have a look again doyle, you can download the manuals without registering

anyone know if any of these is better (or poorer) than the others? also how accurate are they? for example if they were accurate to 1% then it could be used to check if the main meter was accurate (or at least flag up if it needed tested)? anyone have any expeience of them?

my 2003 copy does not show any reference to the short circuit capacity on these tables or graphs. am I missing something? fig3.2B does not have any reference to 5, 15, or 30a fusing. would it not be the housing/holder of the fusewire that would need to be rated for the fault current? if so...

Jaymack, is that in a table somewhere?

He said he had to reset it.....not the same as switched off Tony..........it has to lock out first

As far as I know Tony the fan, aps or venturi would not cause a lock out, it just sits in position. LED 2 on (red) = failed to ignite or overheating. At 7 years old do not go near venturi, it will disintigrate with the focus of your vision, in fact even thinking about it may have caused it...

Can anyone give me an idea of the age of a cable in a lighting circuit with no earth (presumably pre 1967?) looks like aluminium 3 strands totalling 1.29mm2 with rubber insulation, then covered in fabric, then encased in lead.

The area of the inner and outer section are very similar, the outer part is the inlet, the inner part is the outlet. If the boiler fan is not running the wind forces against the inlet and outlet equally, so there is no actual flow of wind through the boiler (unless there is a leaking seal on...

well it was seven strands at 0.72mm diameter, which calculates out at close to 2.9mm2

Can anyone tell me what the size of the earth is in one of these older cables ( I couldn't get at the earth to measure it)

You might find a spare venturi handy, I'm surprised it's not broken yet, they are almost like an anti handling device. I seem to remember the APS on these is adjustable, so if after cleaning the fan, tubes and venturi, if it still fails you could try a small tweak. I'm puzzled as to how it...
