Thanks Gasguru. Been quoted £2500 for an Ideal Logic C30 rerplacement (straight swap out apart from about a foot of 15mm gas pipe to boiler that needs replacing) according to engineers by 2 seperate companies (give or take £20). I have had the front off and the noise is definately coming from...

Hi all, I am after a new gas valve fitting for my Ariston Eurocombi MFFi23 (pn: 63Ap7060/4) as its making a hell of a drilling noise and getting louder as time goes on so looking for a ball park of what an engineer is going to charge me + how long it will take. I know there are variables like...

I think the problem is that my router is on 192.168.1.254, my pc is on 192.168.1.xx and the AP is on 192.168.0.254 but unsure how to rectify this issue

Thanks for the quick response. It just keeps saying the connection has timed out. The W30AP has been reset and has a green flashing light on the front.

Hi, I have a BT router with IP 192.168.1.254 but I also have an IPCOM W30AP with IP address 192.168.0.254. My problem is I cannot access the IPCOM AP due to the difference in the third number. I am after setting it up as an AP for my router. How can I access the IPCOM AP to change the IP...

Hi, I want to run a cable under a lawn to a tree for fairy lights. The run is only about 10 feet from a wall. I want to use an RCD plug into a normal socket so its classed as a portable appliance rather than hard wired in. So I am assuming I need one of those outdoor boxes fixed to the wall...

Competent and qualified. One does not necesseraly go hand in hand with the other. I have had experience with many bad contractors to prove this.......but I have also had some very good experiences so I believe competence is a very subjective thing. I am lead to believe any competent person can...

Hi, Could anyone tell me if the annual emergency light test has to be done by an electrician or can a'competent' person do it (I know that brings up the question of interpretation with regards to competence). Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Its used as the main light (via wall switch) that's why it needs changing as it is too dim (8w 300m tube maintained emergency light) to new 17w LED lamp. So it is used via wall switch as well as emergency light. Is it okay to just put the two earths that are currently...

Hi, I'm after replacing an old 8w fluorescent maintained emergency lamp fitting for a new 15w LED maintained fitting but the wiring is different. There is an extra live in the old one (see images) Does anyone have any ideas how to wire the new one please. Image one shows old 8w lamp with 2...

Hi all, Could anyone advise as to the legal requirement regarding replacing a maintained emergency light bulkhead. Does it have to be a certified electrician or can a 'competent' person do the replacement. PS: this is in an accessible toilet in a rented commercial property. Thanks for any help.

We have a portacabin style building that has been clad with wood vertically sort of like -_-_-_-_- and mice are getting in under between the cladding strips at the bottom. The portacabin stands on a concrete base. Any ideas as how to fill these voids accordingly whilst not breaching any damp...

Hi, I have an Ariston Eurocombi MMFi 23 with a noise coming from the boiler itself that starts when the central heating is on and the boiler fires up (only when burner is on + it gets noisier the colder it is outside). The noise is like a drilling sound, not very loud but vibrates through pipes...

Thanks sbgasman. Not being a gas engineer I wasn't aware that changing the fan came under "gas work". Had no idea it was part of the combustion chamber. Thank you for pointing that out. That's why I wanted to ask on these forums so qualified people like yourself can educate me on safe...

Why do you have to be so nasty? I asked a question that's all. If it is wrong I apologize and feel free to point me in the right direction about my mistake maybe by educating me about the relevant part in the forum rules but I take offense at your reply. In what way have I justified an answer...

Ring a professional and ask them ......."how hard it is to change + will I need a new fan inlet gasket while changing the fan.". Surely its easier just to ask in here. Isn't that what this forum is for?

Sorry I don't understand?

Hi, I have an Ariston Eurocombi MFFI 23 and the fan is making a noise (sounds like drilling concrete in the distance due to catching) and I was wondering how hard it is to change + will I need a new fan inlet gasket while changing the fan. The boiler is approx 16 years old and up to now I have...

Hi. I am after fitting some clay blanking cowls (like in the photo of my neighbors chimney stack) but unsure what size to get. There seems to be 185mm or 205mm (internal dimensions). Can anyone tell be by looking at the picture which is best suited (I did measure a brick which is 210mm and...

Sorry didn't make myself clear. When I say cavity I mean open up the chimney breast to put in a multi fuel burner not that the party wall has a cavity. Appologies for the confusion.
