    What's changed Astra 28.2

    An awful lot of ITV1s and no way to know which is which? How? The $ky 7-day epg is behind their paywall and the freesat one is 'encrypted data' as far as I know. Via the interweb is possible as per Enigma boxes with 'images' and web-scraping of listings sources. That's interesting... how...

    Bigger TV For Above Fireplace

    I disagree I reckon it's about the centre of the screen, or a tad higher ideally. I've read that ones gaze is naturally a bit lower than straight ahead. But it is a pretty subjective / personal preference thing. My eye level is almost mantelpiece height and my TV sitting on a cabinet is...

    There are rules for them. too - and they differ from the Bulk Tanks (and distances vary with size of said tank, smaller can be closer).

    Where did I suggest walling it in? Read the pdf I linked to for the LPG code of practice!

    Calling all cable wranglers out there.

    LPG Domestic Storage

    Only have 1.5 metres... exactly or can you fit a firewall (aka radiation wall) in-between? https://www.liquidgasuk.org/uploads/DOC65F1825C7F50A.pdf has the Code of Practice from 2017 (whether that is when the distances were revised I know not). Q. Is a garage a habitable building? Q. Is a...

    What's changed Astra 28.2

    See my previous. Buy a freesat box. Or sort out the terrestrial reception issue, somehow. Free to air sat boxes are a pita. 1) They don't (cannot) sort the channels into a Logical Channel Numbering system. So you have to do that tedious job. 2) They only have now/next EPG data - so you...

    Grohe 27.05.44 Flush Valve - constant leaking into bowl

    Not a professional plumber, either ;) That reference number finds https://www.fixthebog.uk/grohe-27-05-44-flush-valve-52mm-funnel-model-42137-grohe-43544000-discharge-piston/ and from that Grohe number https://www.grohe.co.uk/en_gb/others-sealing-washer-43808000.html is the likely culprit for...

    £100 ?? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7647019 is cheaper and has the Freesat EPG / LCN. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2075679 is more expensive but the latest Freesat box. Or go in to CEX for a second hand Freesat box? IIRC the satfinder LNB needed a special receiver to feed back to the...

    Pipe in bathroom wall

    Where does the pipe go to / appear on the ground floor? Can you cut it there there to replace with a new straight length to join up with the clean(er) looking pipe? Alternatively cut out the pipe above and heat the T piece to remove it (along with the drain cock). Clean up (wipe old solder...

    Bigger TV For Above Fireplace

    I don't believe Hisense TVs are made for them by the Turkish company Vestel (who do supply sets to some of those other brands). Hisense TVs are made in the Serbian Gorenje factory for EU/UK. Richer Sounds are usually pretty good CS. John Lewis' reputation for that is getting poorer. (from...

    This website its mangling any link I try to insert correctly to energy savings trust page so I've edited my post to remove the link. Apologies. Remove the /rather and it will go correctly.

    RTS turn off

    If that is true then he's never paid for heating or E7 hot water since that date. Has he got pics of before and after the smart meter install? RTS installs often had two separate meters (peak / off peak) see the example on the energysavingtrust.org.uk/rts-meter-switch-off web page rather than...

    Random loss of TV signal

    LCNs 1-40 are all SD DVB-T Channels. LCN 1 (&2 and others) = BBC A mux f.ch 23 3 (&4,5 and others ) = D3&4 f.ch 26 40 is ArqA mux f.ch 22 39 is ArqB f.ch 28 38 is SDN f.ch 25 You've missed LCN 101 BBC ONE HD for the BBC B (HD) DVB-T2 mux on f.ch 30. But that may not matter in the grand scheme...

    Oven element - screws too loose

    1) New oven. 2) Spire/U-clip/Speednuts (if they can be inserted and still clear the wiring)... and there's enough steel left in the panel to keep in place. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163062187617 and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115555841409 are examples of what I'm thinking of. {Some ovens...

    RTS turn off

    What? There are 5-port smart meters made for this very purpose with 100A main and Aux port Contactors. https://www.smartme.co.uk/how-they-work#5-port-meters One example being https://www.smartme.co.uk/docs/101819SP01%20EM425UK2%205T_EMEA_Web.pdf Your friend needs to vehemently complain to...

    Gas or induction hob

    Read the MIs... most refer to it. Also the advice on BHF and NHS websites https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/pacemaker-implantation/ It's not just induction hobs. Power tools could potentially do stuff too, I expect as hairdryers are listed as 'avoid using too near'. Most importantly...

    Macerator choice and install query

    You can't claim it back after paying the VAT. It must be zero vat rated when purchased. e.g. an Installer would zero rate the Invoice for it, and its installation (with a suitable user declaration, if needed) as part of the disabled ensuite room addition works. Not sure that's possible for a...

    Remove old kitchen tap...help!

    I think (and could be wrong) that silver threaded rod will have a screwdriver slot in it... remove the rod and then the U-part may be able to move / drop down. What happens after that I've no idea... as it don't look like it'll fit through the nylon load spreader hole; nor does it look like...

    Mobility Scooter battery, which one...

    Exactly where are you measuring these voltages? A series pair of SLA/Gel batteries, open circuit at 25C should be 25.600 Volts for 100% SoC... (after any surface charge removal). Slightly lower Volts at 21 C. So your meter is either very inaccurate (over-reading) or you are not removing the...
