Good evening all, I have a glow worm 24hxi condesing boiler, which operates with 2x2port honeywell spring return motorised valves, no problem. If we want hot water, I turn the boiler thermostat up to about 70degrees and with the cyl stat set about 60degrees I get a...

PD1971, cheers for that, and yes when I take laptop outside it is excellent signal, have a look at my last reply and see what you think about the ALFA AWUSO36h wi fi booster, with a 5m cable? it has very good reviews on Amazon. Thanks.

Thanks FESTIVE, we did a bit of searching and come up with this, do you think this will do the trick? Alfa model number=AWUSO36H wifi booster, we can buy a 5m cable and a larger antenna. for about £40 total. on Amazon. Cheers.

ASTRA, that was brilliant, thank you very much. ps, I thought your post on liar blair was bang on!

ASTRA, Thanks for the info, this apartment (tenerife) has a 25amp main switch which I presume is the middle tariff?, then to a 40amp rcd, followed by 5 dp mcb's. Iv'e seen these blanking plates before for junction boxes, at high and low level, but this place has none, I noticed at the C.U...

Good evening all, In the UK, a lighting circuit is on a 6amp radial, with loop in ceiling roses/junction boxes and permanent/switched live at the switch, could some one please educate me in spanish lighting circuits, I'm in a 80's apartment right now, which has a 10amp...

Good morning everybody, I live on a complex in spain and we all share tv and internet through one very big sattelite dish,(think jodrell bank). The man who runs the complex has a pole fixed to the outside of his apartment and I presume this is how...

I would like to thank everybody for replying, and it seems the majority verdict seems to be: m6 m5mm m42 m40 m25anticlockwise m26 m20 and then a20 to the docks. This particular route is about 20miles longer than dartford a2 m2 a2,but with no tolls. We intended to leave very early and be on...

mister dubya, thanks for your reply, when I said non stop, I meant just to get us past the bridge, then a break on A2.

Good afternoon everybody, In mid september the missus and I are going to France by car, we will leave the warrington area about 3-30am, and drive non stop m6-m1-m25clockwise and over dartford bridge,-a2-m2-a2-dover. We are booked on a midday sailing...

SAM, The 32"tv runs of virgin cable, no aeriel. You ask why 2 aeriels for the other 2 tv's?.....what is the alternative? thanks.

Sam Gangee, Hi Sam, both of these 2 tv's have there own independant aeriels,and cables, each cable goes to its own wall socket box close to the tv, and then a small link cable to the tv. Both aeriels are the bog standard types on a pole about 6ft up from gutter level. Maybe...

Good morning everybody, In my living room I have a32" panasonic tv 100hz which is fed by virgin cable, the picture is excellent, no probs. Also have 2x 26"panasonic with freeview in other rooms, but these 2 run of basic aerials, on a pole and are fine...

Good evening all, I am trying to locate a 3ft fluorescent for my bathroom, can anybody reccomend one that looks nice and not industrial please. I have a seperate expelair fan on its own switch outside which pulls the steam out quickly...

Good morning all, I thought ALL sockets had to be rcd protected in the 17th edition? What are the exceptions to this?.....maybe a radial to a socket outlet that could supply only one appliance and nothing else,... a washing machine, with the socket under a worktop...

Good afternoon all, Does a 30 mill amp rcd 2g socket on a sockets ring main give rcd protection to just that particular 2g socket, or to all the sockets on the ring, like a rcbo would? Thanks.

Thank you all, there are no spurs, no extra heaters, no sockets, it is a straight supply to the fcu from the cu. From the fcu, the load side is 1.5 flex to a junction box which supplies the boiler,pump, 2 motorised valves etc. The boiler manufacturers handbook say a 3amp...

Hello everybody, I have a modern central heating system, protected at a FCU with a 3 amp fuse, this in turn is supplied from the CU on its own mcb radial circuit,.....but the mcb is 20 amp and cable is 2.5 T&E, there are no problems, but should it be a 6amp mcb with 1...

I would like to say thankyou to all who replied to my questions, and I think I will choose the all independant rcbo option that is reccomended. I would still like to have the 1 lights and 1 sockets circuits both split, so maybe an 8-way would be about right. I,ve only lived here since 2005...

Echoes, which circuits do not need RCD protection if fitted appropriately? As for extending the system, no I dont want to do that, it just seems daft having 1lighting/1sockets circuits,...if a rcd trips, I would be plunged into darkness, etc. thanks.
