    Ok, At the moment i have a double glazed window in my bedroom. Its approx 10-15years old. The problem is i live near a busy road, and the noise is a PITA at night. After some investigation, i believe it to be the window. I dont think the rubber seals around the openable part a sound, so i...

    Downlight nightmare

    Ok, this I'm sure is simple but it's driving me nuts. I removed two recessed down lights to change the transformers. That all went well etc, but, the actual recessed trim, the bit with e springs! No longer spring downwards to hold it against the ceiling, both are just floppy and won't hold it...

    Pressure in boiler 3bar when heating on

    Erm, up to 3 LITRES of water can be evident on the air side of the expansio vessel caused by nothing but condenstation. To prove it has acutally gone, remove the schreder valve, then, repressurise. If water ****es out and continiues, then its bust. 9/10times itjust needs repressurising.

    CH pump runs in middle of night (Worcester 24Si II)

    probally the anti seize function kicking in. I read somewhere if you turn it off at midday, leave off for a couple of mins, then back on, the pump should then cycle up 24hrs after that, and every 24hrs thereafter.

Before anyone here can give you any advice, go to your hot water tank (with an immersion heater attached, have a look for a data badge and tell us what it says, in particular...

    true, and i never said it did, BUT, IMO if i had to choose between trvs or a thermostat (i have both BTW) then I would do without a r/s and install just trvs. That way the rooms which i only want to be warm are warm, and those cold, err well, cold, without having to wait for the hall to heat up...
