Hi Hopefully someone on here can help me I have recently purchased a boat with what I'm told is a ford taunus engine in As far as I know to enable this to be used in a marine environment the exhaust manifold is changed to use river water for cooling. But what I really need to know is it correct...

hi I'm in the process of planning a wet room on the ground floor there is a soil stack running up the inside wall with one flat above it looks like I can dig the concrete away from around the stack and get a strap boss around the pipe to give me a 40mm connection for my floor drain (about 4ft...

Hi all I have this idea of putting up coving leaving a gap at the top and dropping a long led rope light in the top I have found some bits online but what I'm looking at looks like a special coving to take the lights In the back of my mind I think I remember it being done with standard coving...

i have a total of 6 LV down lights in my shower room and for the second time one of the transformers has gone and they are hidden under a boarded loft floor (a pain to get to) as they have been there for a few years now I'm thinking its time to replace them all So should I replace them with...

I found this online and they are saying suitable for 48v DC would using 12v cause any problems I did a quick test on a 6amp breaker today using 12v DC it tripped out at around 8 amps ?

Thanks all for your replies I did read that some 240v mcb's are tested at 12v and are also rated for dc ? Has anyone got the manufacturers technical info ? I was just hoping to save some money by using what I had to hand But After your comments I may just get one of the simple blade fuse holders...

im looking to connect up some 12v circuits on a boat (mainly lighting a radio a 12v tv and a car type usb socket) i was reading online that some domestic type mcb's are OK to use on 12v DC but I can't find a list of the ones that are rated for DC I know marine rated DC breakers are available...

Forget the Nissan So look at the jag or not ??? (The mileage looks good and very good condition for age) I must admit I do fancy the shogun it's ideal for my needs but......... How much to tax and insure ? At 103K has it got plenty of life left in it Are the auto gearboxes reliable Is £2000...

Ok so I will forget the jag then and to be honest the 4x4s are much more practical for me anyway I had a look at the shogun today and it's nice and clean with only a couple of very small minor scuffs on the corners of the bumpers (I'm sure they could be polished out ) I can't find the cost of...

To be honest I'm not a fan of skoda (connected with Audi I believe ) and the online reviews are not that good ? Not sure about the kia I will have a look online I know the vehicles I'm looking at are getting a little dated but I am on a limited budget I'm under the impression that a diesel will...

can anyone tell me what room stat for a vaillant ecotec pro 24 I know the installation instructions say vrt 30 or the vrt 50 but is it ok to use any make etc the boiler is fitted with the mechanical time clock 150 if that makes any difference ? (What's the deference between the using the 24v and...

Hi Maybe my explanation is not very good I cut the flow and return under the upstairs floor just before they go down to the old back boiler and capped the two open ends that are still connected to the heating (the ends running to the airing cupboard to the pump etc) ? The two that are still...

surely the flow for the rads came directly from the old 3 way valve ? and I was thinking that the return would be also linked to the old return pipe from the bottom of the old tank ? it was the remaining pipe I was confused about as this was the flow from the old back boiler and my bathroom and...

Hi Sorry I'm still a little confused ? Today I have connected up as I explained in my first post linking the two that I assumed was the flow from the old back boiler and the flow to the rads and the return (from the bottom of the old hwc ) to the new combi I think my bathroom rad along with my...

im in the middle of taking out my old gravity system and need some advice on converting the current pipe work at the hot water tank ? I have taken out the loft tanks etc disconnected the hot water cylinder and cut and caped off the two pipes that go down to the old back boiler so what I have...

My mate who is a builder is calling in a few favours to help me out that's why I can get the plumber to install and commission for a days cash in hand But I need to supply the boiler etc

Intergas is still right at the top of my budget if I'm going to pay more is it better to go for a cheaper boiler with a higher output or the lower output of a better brand ? Baxi or glow worm any good ? However it looks like the vaillant is the most recommended My installer said he installs...

Have I been quoted a good price for the boilers I have mentioned or is there a better deal to be had somewhere ? At the moment I have an old back boiler and a hot water cylinder tank in the loft etc a crappy shower attachment on the bath taps that produces a dribble of water that is either to...
