Has anyone done a DIY upgrade of an old British Gas Smart Linked Thermostat to a Hive receiver? Do the two receivers require exactly the same cabling? Is it simply a question of removing the BG receiver, replacing it with the Hive receiver and reconnecting the same cables? Even better, are the...

Pretty sure - I've located a stud elsewhere on the wall, just not close enough to where I would need to screw in the shelf upright

The house was built around 1970, but the stud wall is in an extension which I don't know the build date of. I've used a stud detector but it didn't find anything, and I'm reluctant to drill holes as they'll look ugly if not used.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll go for a couple of these brass ones, as they're not too expensive: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Quick-Fit-Female-Hose-Pipe-Connector-1-2-/281737101110

No, it's not a Hozelock reel. I bought it at Toolstation - it doesn't seem to be branded. To my untrained eye the inner and outer connections look identical. The instructions explained how to assemble the reel, but not how to connect the hosepipes to the inside or outside of the reel. No hose...

I've bought a reel for my garden hose, but it wasn't supplied with any connectors to attach the hosepipe to the reel, or to connect the reel to the hose from the tap. Having looked at the Hozelock range there is a bafflingly wide range of connectors available, and I have no idea which ones I...

I've just had a Heatmiser PRT-W wireless kit installed with my Worcester Bosch 30CDi boiler. I'm having problems pairing the wireless stat with the receiver. I've followed the following steps, as per the documentation: - Pressed and held the pairing button on the receiver for a few seconds...

I'm looking for a replacement wireless programmable thermostat for my WB 30CDi boiler. I currently have the DT10RF but it's been terribly unreliable. I've heard that the Siemens Rev24 is good, but can it be fitted to a WB 30CDi boiler?

Yes I put new batteries in.

I've been using a Digistat Optimiser RF10 wireless thermostat with my Greenstar 30CDi for the last 3 years. It's one of the older models with a square transmitter unit. The transmitter has stopped working (I think) - i.e. it will no longer connect with the receiver. Obviously I'm a bit...
