Thanks for this. I phoned my usual plumber but he’s on holiday. So...I’ve watched a lot of videos and gave the black circulating pump a good tap and I could hear water flowing again! I’m guessing it was jammed up because it’s not used everyday. My question now is should I replace the circulating...

Thanks John yes all the pipes around it feel pretty cool to touch. The black circulating pump felt burning hot. I’ve switched it off now. On the bottom of the zone valve there seems to be a metal switch of some sort. Does that control the valve? Just wondering because my wife has been putting...

Thank you for taking the time to post and help me. I have a look at the videos but I’ll probably get an engineer round to sort it

Is it something I can do easily?

Thank you for all the replies...you are all so quick to respond. The pump is burning hot to touch!

Is the pump the black round object here?

The installation manual says it is Dry Fire

Hello again, We moved into new house in June and tried the central heating and all worked ok. My wife said she was cold last night so we went to turn on the heating. Unfortunately, the central heating wouldn’t fire up. I haven’t had a cylinder hot water system since I was a nipper so I am not...

Thanks for the replies guys everything looks to be covered in insolation even the pipes

Hi there, Just wondering would this cylinder benefit from extra insulation like a padded jacket? Or is this foam sufficient? Thank you, Ricky

would this mean connecting an earth wire from the earth fixing on the back of the metal fitting onto the earth clamp inside the terminal housing? (as shown on the photo)

Thank you for all your help. All working beautifully and the switch is the right way round.

These are the pir instructions.

Hello, thank you for your quick responses. this is the inside light switch and wiring.

I will add that the switch always operated upside down in the house. If that makes any difference. Has someone incorrectly wired this originally?

Hello, Just a quick query (I don’t want to get this wrong). I’ve just taken an old light off an outside wall and want to replace it with a pir light. The old light was controlled by a switch inside the house. Which had red, black and an earth wire to the outside. This fed into a lantern light...

Hello, I’ve got a plastic extractor fan cover that rattles in the wind. I’ve thought of putting or replacing it with an external cowel. It is about 100mm x 100mm. Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement that won’t rattle when it is windy? Thank you, Richard

I think that is like for like isn’t it?

There you go a bit of tape and he also added a new seal I think.

Very good service. They’ve been out already and fixed it. Put tape round it. They told me that it was a poor design - they don’t do them like these any more. He also used some kind of pen device that clicked away on the other wire but I didn’t hear a think on the wire he fixed. Said all the...
