Thanks Sean, I'll check that out when I remove the inside door cover, if lubrication is all it needs, great, if not, it's good advice to remove the lot as you have suggested. Regards TC

Thanks atilla, I'm sure the other guys who have suggested things would agree with you but felt it was worth suggesting, not knowing what my experience was at setting it up etc; I take all advice on board and make my decision after thorough research, the main thing is getting pointed in the...

Thanks for the reply CH, thought it wouldn't be easy, will try what you suggest first. TC

Is it easy to fit new central locking mechanisms, my present one is very stiff to operate lately. I've seen a complete set for sale on ebay to fit any car, the advert says easy to fit, but are they? Also if I just changed the drivers side one, as the passenger one is fine , would I be able...

I'm coming in on this one a little late, but I've had two Peugeot 306 diesels from new and they do have very stiff clutch pedals even when new, the travel is very limited and you have to press the clutch right to the floor to disengage. Hope this helps future viewers of this topic. TC

Thanks Breezer. I'll do some research now. Regards TC

Thanks fella's I don't think I'd be much cop at setting pet PIR's so that's saved me wasting cash. Also your answer on doubling up on zones has also made my mind up, I'll use the zone from the living room and re-route to the garage, as that is the unlikliest place an intruder would try to...

I've just moved into a bungalow with a 4 zone optima xm alarm system. one zone is a breaker on the front door, the other 3 zones are back kitchen, back bedroom and living room. I want to put a PIR in the garage, 1) is it feasable to just wire into one of the other zones 2) I also have...

System still running, fingers crossed, we've cracked it, but I'll bear it in mind about the pump, as I have had several issues and they've all been pump related. So that's top of my list if the pronlem occurs again. Regards TC

Yes it did, the boiler fired up, the pump ran, I bled all the rads and the system has ran spot on since then. I've stopped and started it several times via the programmer and it hasn't flickered, so I guess it's sorted. Don't know why the fuse blew though. Maybe just 'tired' as one of my...

Yes, great advice from everyone, thanks to Seco services, the fuse had blown on the PCB. I've learnt quite a lot about central heating and boilers, in the past couple of months, and it's thanks to this site. Who knows I could be giving advice on the site myself one day. Ill keep you all...

will do ist thing in morning, will report back tomorrow, thanks for your help and advice. TC

The boiler fires up and I get live at the Brown Live and the Switched live, but I don't get any reading on the Black live at any time, shortly after firing up say acouple of minutes or so and the boiler kettles because the pump doesn't run, I know the pump is ok because I've tested it...

Thanks for the reply everyone, the black cable connected to L on the boiler is never live. The Brown Live cable from the pump and the Black cable that is never live both go into Number 10, nothing else connects to no/10 (just to confirm for D Hailsham)the Brown 'live' wire from the boiler...

There is a 5 core cable on the boiler from left to right as I look at the boiler there is L Black wire N No wire fitted E Normal colour earth wire fitted E No wire fitted N Blue wire L Brown wire SL Thinner black wire What does the first black wire do? No...

Thanks for the quick reply Dave, I'll check if she has a spare key. Now you mention it, she does have difficulty with the boot as well and the passenger side although easier it's still not as easy as I think it should be, so good advice there let's hope it's the key. The picture showing the...

Hi, daughters ford ka, has become very difficult to open the drivers side door, extremely stiff to turn the key and it's hitty miss if it opens or not, and it's much harder to operate in colder conditions. Also it does close easier than it opens. If all else fails she opens the car using the...

Hi new fault developed on my boiler, The boiler responds to commands from the programmer when I switch it to HW or CH and also for HW and CH together, it also responds to adjustments made to room thermostat. When I say 'responds, the boiler switches on and off depending on what signal...

Hi all, hope you can help, following my success at getting the heating on, I left the system on 'heating only' all night to dry out some plaster and tiles, went in this morning and heating was off, boiler running but not firing up. The Boiler is on, the fan is on, but pilot light not on, I...

Thanks to all for your help, especially Richie who supplied me with the electrical diagram and other info. It turned out that folllowing removal of tiles and replastering, there was loads of dust and debris that had entered the back of the programmer/controller and fouled up the contacts...
