Hi all. I recently had a new programmer fitted to my system (Drayton LP722) and it worked perfectly for months, independently running the hot water and the central heating separately from each other. On Christmas day (of all days) for some reason the radiators turned on when they shouldn't...

Hi. Thanks alot for that link. That product looks interesting. I have also found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COWLED-WALL-GRILLE-SHUTTER-EXTRACTOR-FAN-100mm-4-dia-/170283361778?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Hearing_Cooling_Air&hash=item27a5ade5f2 Positioned in the correct direction I would stop the...

Well perhaps but I am looking for a solution now rather than discussing what should have been supplied initially.

Thanks all. It is mounted horizontally (facing the ground) on the soffit. The extractor was very expensive so I only want to replace this small part if possible........

I have an extractor fan in my bathroom connected to some tubing ending with one of the 'covers' as pictured below in the soffit of my roof. In the winter especially, when the wind blows, a cold breeze blows in to the shower room. Is there a product I can fit outside instead of the item...

EDIT - Found them. Thanks.

I spent another 3 hours on this today and eventually got to using my new pot of dark filler. I used the masking tape as advised and when I peeled it back I could not believe how well it had come out. Perfect lines. Of course I have yet to stain it but hopefully it will be a better match...

Not looking forward to starting it all again as I had it smooth as glass and had spent ages on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a good few hours more work ahead of me now. Thanks for your help.

Yeh thats a good idea. Thanks alot.

Thanks again. I will look for a darker one in B&Q tomorrow and try again. I know it will show, they always do, but not nearly to that extent.

Thanks alot for your useful reply. I used 'Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler'

So if I rub it right back down again I can try getting a darker filler and trying again. I will have to take a few mm off that lot I suppose so am a bit worried it wont be quite even all over. Before the varnish went on it wasnt a bad match at all.

Hi all, Please see attached photo's. I have filled in the gaps between the wood on the window seal and then varnished using Ronseal varnish. As you can see it is very visible and looks awful. I stopped once I realised as I thought it was pointless doing the whole seal if it is all going to...

I cant get a whole stem but will grab some more pods on the way past next time and just leave them to dry and see what happens. Is it worth sowing them this year in prep for next year at all?

Thanks for all the helpful replies.

Well really I didnt want to pick them before they were going to be of any use so that was the question! But thanks anyway.

Hi all, At my workplace there are several lupin plants which have flowered and had now formed the seed pods. Do you HAVE to wait until they are dried out before you can pick the pods? The problem is other people are taking them before they are really dried so unless I want to miss out on all...

Ah OK, the last bit about your TV puts it in to perspective. I'm just worrying that I am going to be getting through alot of 13amp fuses thats all! I just assumed you could overload a 2g socket without tripping the switch in the CU whereas with this the fuse would just blow which could be...

Thanks for that link. I may scale back my plans for 9 sockets though I am still worried that I could overload a socket. I know most items use very little electric but obviously things like the dyson will be plugged in every now and then and I am worried I am going to end up being scared to plug...

Thanks all for posts. I am a bit concerned that this in built fuse is going to cause me problems. Does anybody have experience with them? I assumed that if I overload a 3g socket it would blow the in built 13amp fuse, but then again I also assumed that if I overloaded a standard 2g socket it...
