A family member just moved into a property that has a new Main brand Eco Compact Combi Boiler which I think is by Baxi, link below seems like this is the one: https://www.mainheating.co.uk/main-products/gas-boilers/combi-boilers/main-eco-compact-combi There seems to be no room thermostats...

I'll measure it and take pics tomorrow. It is probably 12mm by the looks of it. Will it be easier to create the thread using the existing thread as guidance without cutting it short at first and then once I've extended thread then cut it short? As @JohnD said hardest part is the start and...

My existing automatic gear shift stick rod sticks up quite a bit and the gear knob screws on. The gear knob itself is like a nut which screws onto the bolt thread of the rod. I'm thinking if it will be possible to shorten this as there is a big gap between the bottom of the gear knob and the...

I replaced one side gas strut in my boot with a universal type. The length is pretty similar except the new universal one might be a about 8 to 9mm shorter and the stroke is about 10 to 14mm smaller. So on my original strut the stroke is around 210 to 214mm. The new universal strut the stroke is...

Thank you. Is the solid wire inside the electrical solid cables copper? Could I potentially use that from a 2.5mm2 electrical cable and just twist it to tie it up?

Does coat hanger not rust too? I can try that and maybe just dab some high temperature exhaust paint over it to prevent it from rusting lol. I'll give this a shot Thanks

If I was to be able to somehow use a self tapping stainless steel screw to hold up the L plate to the shroud, then all I will have remaining to do is hold the bottom from flapping. I was thinking of drilling a tiny hole and putting something like a paperclip bended back. But if I remember...

Ahh that's what I was worried about. There's not much material so blowing a hole will waste it away lol. Other option is that I could potentially put self tapping metal screw from behind that taps into the metal L plate.

I can remove the bumper to do the work on the tips off the car rather than dropping the silencer I think.

Here are some pics. One the first pic you can see a line like hole and on the second picture is the rear of the tip and you can see the L shaped like metal bracket which was spot welded to that spot where the line hole is so its just come off. And there were two small blobs at the bottom...

The tip is stainless and inside it is another type of metal that is spot welded. Rest of the pipe seems fine just that area broke off

I have integrated exhaust tips that are originally spot welded to a shroud like a tunnel where the exhaust gasses come out of. Problem is one of the tips has rusted metal at the spot weld spot and broken out. There are some cheap mini arc spot welding machines on eBay as low as £45. Can I use...

Potterton ProMax Combi HE Plus

Thank you, these Myson trv says 2 way and I read that apparently they work on both flow and return. But regardless I think as good practice they should have installed them on flow. The problem with this noise issue is that my property was a new build around 11 years ago and this noise issue only...

Here's a pic of the TRV's that I have: So since the pump was replaced, the case vibration noise and the constant humming has gone but I am now getting a really loud rather annoying noise that's really hard to explain. Basically when I turn the heating on, it is super silent unlike before BUT...

So I have an update on this now. My new Denso branded alternator arrived. I inspected the Denso one and if i stopped the turbine blade with a flat head screwdriver and rotated the pulley counter-clockwise it spins doing the job of the freewheel clutch. So then I took out the aftermarket one and...

That's correct part number yes. Thanks. I've purchased this Denso one now and waiting for delivery https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-200925-denso-alternator-dan1354.aspx The belt is on correctly definitely.

It's Lexus IS250 2.5L petrol. Yes it definitely has a clutch pulley but the replacement was marketed as a replacement for it and also has some sort of clutch pulley too OAP I think as it's pulley is covered by a cover.

So i've placed an order for a Genuine Denso alternator, managed to get a good discount on it too from Opie Oils. Should be with me by the end of the week. In the meantime, the seller of the current one insists that it has to be installed by a garage and that i have to provide details of the...

Is there even such thing as factory excess stock? Surely if factory produces stock then it can sell it on, how does it go from a factory product to a unbranded aftermarket to keep prices low
