    NEC 343i Software

    Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work. Downloaded the software and (XP) installed without any probs but when I connect my mobile via usb its not recognised. The installed software seems to run but just hangs with a "Trying to connect to handset" message. Any ideas?

    Need a pressure reducing valve?

    Do I need to fit one though? When the boiler was fitted 2 years ago I remember something in the literature about it working fine up to 3bar, not sure what happens its more. If the pressure can be up to 6 bar how do boilers, showers, etc. survive?

    He says theres two problem MCBs 1. Smoke alarm should on on 6A because the wire is 1.5mm 2. The cooker should be on 32A because the wire is 6mm Does that sound right? Whats the best place to get a table of figues, for cables in walls, conduits, etc., and not just free air.

    Overrated MCBs?

    I'm not sure what "over rated MCBs" is on about? Does it mean the total of the MCBs is too high, then what should it be. I thought it was because the 3 MCBs to the right of the RCCB (45 + 32 + 32 = 109) was too high. If thats the case then can you put the Cooker on a 32A MCB because my mum...

    Water Hammer in bath tap

    We used to have conventional (tanks in the loft) central heating but changed to a combi last year so its all at a higher pressure than before. Where can I get a pressure reducing valve and will it cause my combi any problems?

    Spiders

    Yep they looked like spiders to me too, but having seens the picture of the clover mite I'm not so sure now, especially as I've not spotted any webs. What are they doing here though?, from the description they sound like something common to the US.
