    What does an ignition key actually do?.

    Well, I'm 99% sure this slightly damaged key is the one causing the random non starting problem. Any suggestions why? Could it be failing to disable the immobiliser?

    Hi, I've had an intermittent starting problem for a while with an 11 reg. Trafic van. Sometimes everything lights up on the dashboard, everything will operate, except the starter, cant hear a click from the solenoid. I'm beginning to suspect one of the ignition keys, what functions does the key...

    Finding a leak in the central heating system?.

    Sorry, I should have said, it's a sealed system with external high level expansion vessel. Expansion vessel is free of water and pressurised. No water escaping through tundish. I was wakened one morning about 30 mins after CH came on, by the sound of air in the radiator beside the upstairs bed...

    Finding a leak in the central heating system?.

    Hi, I clearly have a leak somewhere in the CH sytem as the water pressure is being lost quite quickly after filling so obviously I'm not using it. It seemed to happen quite suddenly, nothing showing upstairs or on downstairs ceiling, so appears to be under downstairs floor. I'm unlikely to get a...

    I still have my old Irish made model, part steel, part aluminium. It's dual height, the legs fold up or down. This is the second model of Workmate, the first one was all alloy. This isn't mine but is identical.

    Renault Traffic 2011 intermittent starting problem.

    Thanks John. Mileage is 115,000. It did it again yesterday evening so my son checked and there is no power going to the solenoid. As everything else operates with the switch it could be a slightly damaged wire from switch to solenoid intermittently shorting, but then again a fuse should blow in...

    Renault Traffic 2011 intermittent starting problem.

    Thanks John. You're up late!. The problem is intermittent in that I can go back later and it operates ok and starts. I was kind of wondering if anyone knows if there is a known problem with the part of the ignition switch that operates the starter. The battery always reads OK. I suppose the...

    Renault Traffic 2011 intermittent starting problem.

    Hello there. As above, from time to time I turn on the ignition, everything lights up and operates normally but the starter does not work. There is no click from the solenoid so I assume there is no power going from the switch?. Any suggestions gratefully received!.

    Hot water escaping through tundish.

    Thank you. I bumped into the local plumbers wife in the shop later yesterday and she got him to come round in the evening. It is the temperature/pressure valve that is faulty.

    Hot water escaping through tundish.

    Hi. With my sealed system, the water heats up and then pours through the tundish, coming straight out the cylinder through what i understand is the temperature/pressure release valve.The water temp. at the nearest tap, on the WHB, is 60degreesC. Does it look like the valve is stuck open and I'll...
