    Gravity Check Valve (plus some Solid Fuel Heating questions)

    For sure, although it's not a huge issue in my case because I'm not a fan of TV and I have a multifuel burner in the living room so I've got used to having to chop up logs. I get that Rayburns are much hungrier though. The thermal store is well interesting, thanks. I'm just watching a few vids...

    Heating and hot water for granny annexe

    Appear to be some great air con units on the market now with reversible pumps. For heating I've seen SCOP 5.9 out there at about a grand or less. How efficient they are in reality for UK climate, I can't say. Here's a page I was looking at recently. There's even a SCOP 6.2 on there now...

    Gravity Check Valve (plus some Solid Fuel Heating questions)

    Hi, I'm trying to get my head around what's required to install a semi pumped system with a Rayburn Royal. I'm likely going to fit a high output boiler into it for a start, in case someone pipes up with "forget it" :rolleyes: I've got a garage full of logs and some, plus a Rayburn in there...

    Mira Sport max 10.8 KW running cold

    May have to disconnect one side of the thermal switch to be sure of a correct reading. I can't remember for sure, it's been a while since I changed one.

    Mira Sport max 10.8 KW running cold

    Who knows? With power off obviously, it should read as a closed circuit continuity with a multimeter. If not it's knackered.

    Mira Sport max 10.8 KW running cold

    I've repaired a few but can't remember exactly what the symptoms were. Is the thermal switch okay? https://www.showerspares.com/mira_shower_spares/mira_all/mira_sport_max_2006-2012_sport_max/mira_thermal_switch_assembly_416.41/

    Can combi microwave be repaired?

    What do you mean by bang? There's a long 1 Amp internal fuse that often blows in microwaves but it doesn't go with a bang. Just leaves the oven visually appearing to work but without actually heating anything. Magnetron will also show same symptoms as said above but it's possibly worth checking...

    When considering in or out:

    Greece is Greece. Their problems are largely self inflicted and don't really affect the UK. Anyway, it's about more than just economics. Look at Poland right now, publicly burning effigies of Jews and Muslims. Free press under attack as well as their legal system. Hungary and Austria are moving...

    When considering in or out:

    What I've noticed recently is the fear factor kicking in. People who were all for out at the start are starting to worry about things from pensions to hyper inflation. I can't see the second happening any time soon, deflation more like. Generally though, folk are going to get a chance to vote on...

    Hotpoint Dishwasher Melted At The Back!

    I've only fitted similar on Bosch's so without searching I'm not sure what the air brake part is, but the turbine looks about the same as a flowmeter on, say, a Bosch. Yes, if broken it would likely stop water passing altogether or allow uncontrolled water to pass. Bosch flowmeter is a doddle to...

    What did 'Our Ken really say ?'

    UK offered them Uganda as a Jewish state at one point, according to Wikipedia anyway. Offer was, declined.

    What did 'Our Ken really say ?'

    Total support for LIKUD, Netanyahu and his sort more like. He wants Jerusalem for the Jews doesn't he? As for red Ken, I think he screwed up with his stupid Hitler comment and should have the humility to be prepared to back down and apologise. Now it'll all drag on through the local election at...

    LED 2D Replacements

    Those 2Ds seem bright enough when they're fitted although I haven't looked on the box for the lumens. They're not warm white but not a hideous glare either.

    Bosch Dishwasher E15 code now tripping electrics

    Okay. I still think a component in the base has got wet. Could try disconnecting it from power, taking right hand side cover off and drying it well with a hairdryer perhaps? Either that or leave it several days now you have tipped the water out of the base. Usually a hole in the back isn't...
