    GRINDING BOILER

    Thanks for pointing that out Agile. So.... this is a known problem if you know that it lasts 3 secs? Is there anything that can be done? I can understand a bit of motor noise, but the grinding is rediculous.

    noisy taps

    I find my quarter turns are only noisy when water is not at full. Makes a hell of a racket. Ballofix is that the same as this? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=100121&ts=41704&id=16505

    VRT 360 roomstat

    Sine I have an old thermostat I don't think the ebus bizness is of any usefulness is it? I dunno, I just want a gadget to control my heating from the living room instead of having to dart in a dark cupboard and fumble with the lack of a backlit disply (what an oversight on a modern appliance)...
