Thought it was usually the last radiator in the run not the first as you normally have the lockshield fully open. I swapped out the TRV's in another room which I always want warm when the heating is on.

Get a low pan and put it on a raised floor with a flexible connector to get to the soil pipe.

Virgin dongles run over a different ip range than broadband. Download thunderbird, the spiel for these programs are always the same but doesn't mean you can't set it to a non-html mail program. I'm pretty convinced it's because the ISP does not allow this sending of mail over a different...

You would be much better getting yourself a router/switch for all the cables to plug into then only cable from your modem/router to the switch. This means you don't need to plug/unplug depending on where you are. Switches are cheap as...

Thunderbird is a good package. What error messages come up when trying to send mail via virgin? A lot of ISP's will allow you to receive mail from but not send mail if you're not connected to their network.

Download HWMonitor which will give you temp readings across any sensors.

Check pressure release valve discharge pipe, will be leaking.

Yes, seen that cheers but doesn't help my problem if I don't have the rads warming up sequentially but as in my case the upstairs 'zone' is sharing the main flow as the downstairs so two rads are warming up at the same time in effect.

Hi Once again I have to attempt to balance the rads in my house due to rapid cooling of the rads. This time I've bought a thermometer so that I can actually measure the drop across the rads. The problem I have is identifying what sequence the rads run in. It seems that the ground and...

If you're doing the hole at a low or high height where you can't get behind drill and sure to keep it straight then use a 4.5" bit or bigger

I know mate, I know :oops: Unfortunately I didn't take a picture at the time and the shower is now 600 miles away again! I managed to solve the leak by turning the inlet pipe around and being lucky it was the last jet so no outlet I could plug and tighten the pipe. Kicking myself I...

Hi all I have had one of these cabin type showers for a while which recently sprung a big leak. It's an EAGO model for which I can't find a uk or european dealer (shower was already installed when i got the place) The connection is plastic with a plastic nut to tighten the jet against the...

It's a bit complicated for non technical people but I do agree it's an excellent free product.

I'm wonder what use TRV's are sometimes. If it's warm downstairs too, then turn temperature down at boiler. Might even save a few quid.

The FAQ has a good section dedicated to that subject. If you've got a pump or a pressure guage it's fairly easy to recharge or check the expansion vessel.

Well, after repressuring the EV - thanks to the FAQ I managed to only have to do it twice - and the system is keeping the pressure nice and even. Cheers for the heads up. Still, it's still switching itself off. Rads are heating up well enough, all runs good but just cuts itself off after a...

Being the owner of one these and on my 5 PRV I would moncur it's your PRV. I do wonder what caused it to blow the first time though. I'd have the guy check your expansion vessel when he comes to fit the new PRV.

Well, just emptied the system and checked the ev which didn't have any pressure (or my car tyre pump isn't showing one!). To be fair, it's noted on the side that it's precharged. Will charge it up and see how it goes, I've a feeling with the right pressure in the system the pump should be...

Due to mine being installed too close to the boiler it would have been better if I had been able to install it upsdie down! Will see if I can spin it round.

I agree and if you don't want to pay look at Avast or AVG
