Lots of posts on the net about bad and dry joints on Potterton pcbs. My none combi Pottertons gas valve started judering (open, close 2 or 3 times a second) some years back. Had same thoughts as you about not touching it so called a National Company for a £47 + VAT per 30mins corgi man. Got a 60...

If your a landlord, do right by your tennants and get a plumber in. If not and you want to DIY, take the button(s) mechanism to you local DIY shed and match it up...... No rocket science here...

For others information; I have just been through the same process with a 6 year old Novatech notebook, which is effectively a Mitac 8640 machine. Same thing here, one accessible slot, the other nowhere to be seen but turns out it is on the opposite side of the main PCB to the one that is...

Put a working ball cock valve on to stop the tank filling. The level of water in the tank should be low, just covering the feed pipe at the bottom. Your increased height in water is causing you to over pump, hence the steam.

I asked because I've been thinking about one myself and most of what I've read states that they burn a whole lot hotter (forget numbers but something like 2 to 3 times) than an open fire. So a chimney that is OK with an open fire, may not be with these very hot gases, could lead to leaks and...

I'm about to replace some cushioned vinyl flooring which I laid some years back and would appreciate any tips to avoid what happened to the original lay. When I cut sections out of the vinyl to fit around items, the handling of the vinyl then caused tears emanating from the inner corner of the...

Paid £450 in April for mine (not in cheshire) and got a proper power flush which consisted of disconnecting my pump, connecting up a much larger flushing pump (2' diameter) and flushing with chemicals. During the flushing the direction was also reversed several times to aid the job. They did...

I have a dwarf fruit tree that I only put in this spring and due to other activities in the garden, this is now in the wrong place and needs moving. What the best time to do this from the trees health perspective and could it been done in the Autumn ? It blossomed but didn't produce any fruit...

Thanks guys, it had just not occurred to me that they would have that much flex, but I guess being half timbers they obviously do. Many thanks again.

Whats the best way (or any way) to replace these aris rails in existing concrete posts ? The posts have oblong holes in them into which the aris rails are fitted, presumable when installed it was end post, aris rail, feed next post onto rail and fix post, more rail and so on to the end of the...
