Worked it out - push to the right.

Am puzzled by this, cleaning limescale from the seals on my son’s toilets and two have been easy as they have the large cover plate that you slide up to remove. The third is different, it is smaller with ridges on the buttons, and looks (from googling photos of roca plates) like an L1. How...

Just replaced a 17 year old R8 Panel with a new one, all connections wired as previous board. Internal and external sounders work and all sensors work on walk test. 7 zones used, 1 is entry (hall), 2-6 are guard and 7 is landing. Link fitted to board for zone 8. On full set first zone we hit...

The transformer is no longer attached to the back panel, something else I will blame the installer for. Not quite as bad as how they wired it to the mains. New panel ordered, should be fairly simple to fit and set up as all the wiring is already installed.

Yes, bell sounded when two of them were removed and stopped when they were replaced.

All fuses are OK on a continuity tester . . . . . Five on the board and one just below it. Was putting the lid back on and all hell let loose, panel would not reset from the keypad at all. Internal and external sounders going off - good job I didn't look at 9 this morning as I would not have...

Thanks - will look tomorrow when i am less likely to disturb the neighbours if the alarm goes off. When I looked there were five fuses on the board - which is it?

No

Veritas Alarm installed by ADT about 2002 (we moved in 2004) - not maintained. Moved a sensor yesterday to strip wallpaper and refixed (zone 7). Last night when I tried to set the alarm it wouldn't set and beeps are as follows: "Part" pressed - Lights 1-6 on full, 7 flashing, 6 pairs of low...

Slight miscalculation and we are a copuple of tiles short. Anyone got any spares? PM me

Drill a hole large enough to get the end of a carbide saw through and saw it out. Or stitch drill and saw. https://www.screwfix.com/p/vitrex-tile-saw/8884d

I have tiles to remove from a steel stud and plasterboard wall. Only concern is that on the other side of the wall is another tiled bathroom. I know the wall is flexible but am I likely to get away without disturbing the other side? Won't be an absolute disaster if I do as I have to redo that...

We have a Y-plan system with indirect tank and non-condensing (13 year old boiler/house). Have recently cleaned system and added inhibitor (the one advised in boiler manual) as we seemed to have a cycling issue - now gone as far as I can tell. The mid-position valve was also swopped while the...

Apologies if I hurt anyone's feelings but wife wanted a bath . . . It is heating water but slowly, the 3 way valve is moving (from tell tale) and the heating is working but the boiler is noisy. Added some cleaner this morning (Sentinel 400 as it is 15-16 years old), probably needs another...

As above, hot water tank and central heating both with header tanks in the loft. Indirect cylinder. Boiler was getting very noisy and fan changed. Boiler been off 2 days waiting for part (we were away), now as we wanted hot water quickly on water only the boiler is cycling. Pump is turning...

D-commissioning a bathroom won't achieve anything for the showers in the other two, I have never noticed a problem with simultaneous showers, two are original and have separate hot/cold feeds from the tank, the other is fed from a combination bath/shower tap. Three bathrooms - why not, we have...

Looking for some advice, Hot water heated from boiler, indirect tank with header tank in loft (surface water level about 3ft above first floor ceiling). Cold water supply has a pressure reducing valve in the garage set at about 3-4 bar to limit the pressure in the house, the cold water...

Clay look far better and you already have them. They can be re-used. If you don't re-use them they have a re-sale value which your roofer may not tell you about. If you need to replace some then second hand tiles are available. Concrete "Rosemary" are available but look horrible.

My current (DELL) laptop charger has a small three pin plug on the mains cable, the last one (Fujitsu) was similar. Not much bigger than a figure of 8. Not sure where you would get one.

Surprising that no-one has mentioned that they could be 2BA
