This has just started tonight, water dripping from the overflow. Its the PRV at the top of the tank. I've felt the water via the tundish and its warm/hot, so I don't think it is the cold water PRV that shares the same tundish. Watching the tundish this seems to 'spurt' slightly when the...

Hi All Bought my daughter a 99 T plate Fiesta which about 5-6 years ago had a minor front end bump. It was sold fairly soon after the repair to the old lady we bought it off. Suspect the repair wasn't the greatest, but mechanically it's fine. The main issue is that the airbag light had...

Thanks, have used these people before for an ecu problem on a Vectra b my wife had a few years ago. Resetting airbag modules is quite expensive compared to getting a matching s/h airbag module. For now I've gone for the latter option.

Hi all Right fixed a few problems now. Main one is the airbag light stays on all the time, no flashing. Apparently it has been on since 2006 when the last owner bought it. It had a front end shunt just before this. So I'm assuming the airbag was probably replaced, can see marks round it, but...

Hi Thanks for the advise. Yes, inside was very clean friend spent some serious time cleaning. Consequently I spent time on a visual check for any accidental damage, or disturbed connections. All seems good. Haven't thought about the battery, agree might be worth a change, would also clear...

Hi Bought a pc from a friend for my father in law. It has:- AMD 3800 dual core 4 sticks of kingston memory totalling 1.5gb ECS kn1 sli mobo 160 gig hd - not sure of spec DVD/CD Writer - not sure of spec 256mb pci express vid card sound card Friend (and he is genuine so I have no...

I bought my 156 over 4 years ago, no complaints. Depreciation isn't really an issue if you are looking at a 156 or a 146 as they used to depreciate most in the first few years. Have a look on a the owners websites, alfa156.net, and alfaowner.com are good. Generally Alfa's are pretty...

Yes, you can probably see why I'm miffed about the whole thing on a 14 month old PC ! I understood perhaps naively if I used the original compaq HP board as it had that tatoo, vista should run from the original hard drive without any issue. But had assumed there would be no issue with the...

So, bit of an update. The GPU has now died, seems a graphics card won't sort it. Really object to scraping PC, it's only 14 months old, would expect better from a compaq hp. Now, I'm happy to swap a motherboard, but from what I understand you have to use the OE motherboard if repairing...

Hi Zipper Opened up the case and as you thought pcb has a nicely sooted up area. Hasn't trashed the tracks but gone quite well locally on both sides. Board is an Electrolux, I think I'm going to try and get it repaired, seems a shame to can such a decent 2.5 year old machine, and worth a...

Hi Zipper Right then:- Coil resistance measured at motor terminal block - 180 ohms Coil output spun with belt on at motor terminal block - Max 1.2V on AC scale Coil output spun with belt off at motor terminal block - Max 0.5V on AC scale Coil connections on outgoing side of...

Just taken the heatsink off the GPU (Graphics Processor) and added a bit of heatsink compound, sure was stuck well due to heat. Cleaned out the vents and generally inside. No joy still running the same, going past 75 deg c with cover on and 44 deg c with side cover off and fan cooling it...

Thanks for the quick responses. The vent in the case is a bit blocked with dust, but would not run with the side off , and no fan, so don't think it is this. Temperature just kept rising. The cpu temp is fine varies between 20-40 deg c dependant on loading, will have a quick look under...

Hi Have a two year old HP Compaq desktop, has been stable and really good. But had a problem today. Actually notice video running a bit lumpy for a week or so, today whilst the screen saver was on it froze. After some head scratching noticed if I left it for 20 mins (cooled down) it would...

Hi Zipper, no joy, suspected I wouldn't be that lucky. PNC No is 914524015, it's an AEG 52810. As mentioned went through drain, rinse and spin fine. When on wash cycle went through wash OK. On the rinse cycle towards the end it tried to spin, without any ramp up, belt screeched...

Thanks Zipper. Guess I should have checked the resistance at least. So got it back together, done a trial (empty drum) rise, drain, spin, all OK, just running through the 1st wash cycle with two big nath towels in it ! Loose coil/magnet seems to be a common issue with this motor, so...

Hi Had some fun with this. Has been banging about, to the extent now where it has unclipped a suspension spring twice. Seems to want to go to full spin sometimes in the wash program. assume the out of balance stops this but it really goes some. Will run fine for maybe an hour, or maybe a few...

Ah, here is an interesting one. I note the reply is from Ireland where consumer units differ somewhat in layout from the UK. In Eire consumer units claim compliance to different standards, and do not have to comply to BSEN60439-3 Annex ZA. The mix and match approach in Eire is a more accepted...
