Are you sure that aren't just nesting? Are the actually entering the loft? Sparrows & birds need all the nesting sites they can get, modern houses probably won't be providing nesting opportunities.

I'd like to replace my rickety pull down aluminium loft ladder with a good quality replacement, probably wooden? Would need to be heavy duty to be able to take heavy weight (the wife). Any recommendations please?

Thanks, £131 is expensive for a tiny touch screen sensor/circuit board. I'll wait until I need one, and then buy a new oven instead :D

Thanks, on their exploded diagram I assume its the part labelled '356 1', but typing this into their part finder doesn't find it in their store. The closest I can find is a Control Unit Assembly at £131.99 but surely that can't be it?? Is there a different part number please? Theres loads of...

Anyone know where to get a replacement touch screen sensor for my Hotpoint MP676IXH built in combi microwave please? I've just purchased it from ao.com and it's great for the £350 price, however when using it for the first time I noticed the touch screen on/off button didn't work correctly...

As it’s a combi, i might keep it so I can still use the oven & grill, but stop using it as a microwave, and buy a separate microwave for the kitchen worktop

I phoned Siemens who say it probably needs a complete whole new carcass but it’s an obsolete model with no spare parts available at all. Sounds like it’s now a 6 year old £900 piece of scrap!!

Its a built in combination microwave that cost £900 in 2014 :( Matches the built in oven below it. I'll probably have to play safe and replace it, but then they won't match

Siemens built in combination microwave HB86P575B Heard a crackling sound today when I used my Siemens built in microwave, and looking through the glass window I saw some sparking inside on the ceiling. Looking closer, I can see where some of the metal has burnt away. Before I buy a new...

Could you try stacking them in alternate layers in opposite directions?

Each time for me its been a Valiant guy thats turned up. Heat exchanger replaced today. In total I've had.. Heat exchanger Circuit board/control panel G10 seal Wiring loom Flu adjustment I'd say I've had good value and good service from them for my £300, with 6 months cover remaining. I now...

Both of the visits I've had have been from Vaillant

They are returning tomorrow to fit a new heat exchanger. Im guessing they try the cheapest methods of repair first, seeing as the heat exchanger is probably the most expensive part? All I need now is a new diverter valve and expansion tank and ill pretty much have a brand new boiler!!!

And an hour after he left the F76 fault code has returned!!! Ive phoned Valiant and they have phoned their engineer who says he's ordering a part and they will be in touch soon to make another appointment to visit again. I can only assume they might finally be replacing the heat exchanger...

2nd Vaillant engineer called today and replaced the wiring loom leading to the thermal fuse as he said there looked to be a bad connection. He said the thermal fuse had tested ok.

Having had the F76 fault code reappear over the weekend, I phoned Vaillant this morning and they are sending another engineer round again tomorrow. At least thats good service.

Im sure you are right, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reset the boiler by turning on/off. But if its still doing it even with a new PCB, then Ive no idea here the sting fault could be. I guess time will tell.

Sometimes turning it on/off clears the fault code, but I realise thats not safe because if it is actually overheating then it shouldn't be used. But now the hot water is working, but no central heating. Something certainly isn't right.

Yes it was a Vaillant guy, despatched by Vaillant and arrived in a Valiant van. The F76 fault code first appeared a few weeks ago, but turning the boiler off/on cleared it for a day or two, but it kept reappearing. My usual plumber cleaned all the connections which solved things for a few days...
