mmm might leave that one until me hands stop shaking. I'll let you know.

Spark Apparently there was a very short powercut last night and nothing to do with pub/guitar. Don't know if that makes a difference. The switch seems to blow - when switching on it clicks whereas the others are all smooth. Tried keeping it in place - still trips back. Tried what you...

Is the MCB master circuit board or what I would call the fuse box? If it is every switch tripped - i.e.e wenyt fromj on to off. I switched them back 1 by 1. This worked except for the upstairs lighting - everytime you put it to on it flips back to off straight away.

Last night the whole house fused. It coincided with me coming back from the pub and playing my guitar loud!! I fliiped all the switches back on and everything came back bar one - the upstatirs lighting. Soon as you put this on it trips out again. Anyone got any ideas - I presume I've got a...

actually the frog should be uppermost. see http://www.pavingexpert.com/featur09.htm which says... With solid or perforated bricks, the orientation of the brick doesn't matter, but with frogged bricks, the frog should always be laid uppermost. This ensures that the loading of the wall is...

Thanks to everyone for their helpful comments and suggestions. Mandate - thanks - the crap flow is in the kitchen but other taps downstairs are good so it's probably a tap thing which i can't be bothered to look into (wife's not complaining so it can't be a problem!) think i've learned quite...

mandate i'm sorted now - header tank to cylinder was empty - ballcock stuck in place as this tank only ever mpies very slowly. filled it up and it works like a dream. thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions

masona think i may have solved this or at least partially the header tank was almost empty and the ballcock was sezied - i've freed the ballcock up and have filled the tank up and have seen an improvement straight away just to answer your questions though - the flow rate is ok - upstairs is...

Thermostat works - I can here it clicking on and off. Haven't got a thermostat on the cylinder. Could I have air in the system as I said in my second post the pipe into the middle of the cylinder get s red hot when boiler is on. the pipe below starts to warm us as if all the hot water is...

I've had the thermostat set at all levels. I have a hot water cylinder described in my othe rpost with the 4 pipes going in (out) of it. I belive I have an expansion tank as there is more than 1 water tank in the loft

actually the 1st post may be a re3d herring i have 4 pipes that go into the hot water tank 1 in the middle which is red hot when the boiler is on 2 at the bottom on opposite side - one is cold and the other gets hot when the boiler is on but not hot enough that you can't hold it the pipe at...

Can someone tell me why my boiler has an intermittent problem with the hot water. It did it last weekend - I had a look at it did nothing besides take the front off and havd a look and it's worked since then. The boiler itself has a themostat on it - I'm not sure if this is redeundant or...

dont quote me on this but as i understand it shale was used instead of hardcore (is this predominantly in mining areas?). i think shale absorbs water and may expand and contract possibly causing movement in the house itself. i had something like this on my survey but took the view if the house...

alexnic - thanks for this i was thinking about the (thermo) stat. I'll go and check if there is one on the hot water tank but can't remember seeing one when I was feeling the pipes and having a nose round. If there isn't one what controls the temperature of the hot water - there is a 'stat on...

thanks breezer i was looking to see if i had one of those valves as well. i haven't. strange thing is it seems to be working now having done nothing from my end - having said that the water dosn't seem to be as hot as it used to be

got a funny central heating works but not the hot water heating got a boiler from the 70's which seems bullet proof - guess pump works as the radiators get hot but get no hot water. if the hot water is switched on one of the pipes into the hot water tank gets red hot the tank doesn't seems...
