Hi Breezer, you sure did!

Update: Purchased a sonic mice repellant last year after we first noticed we had mice, caught 2 of them via traps and plugged the sonic repellant in. Great we thought, no more mice in our house until today, some 14 months later. I can conclude the sonic repellant didn't work in our...

He just said the bleed the rads until it frees itself. The system has been installed 3 months now with and I am still bleeding two rads that gets air.

Forgot to add, a MagnaClean was fitted, but I can't see how air would enter here. Thanks.

Our oil boiler has just been replaced with new energy efficient controls and a fully pumped system using the original feeder tank in the loft. The radiator in the bathroom now only works when the hot water is on and soon as the cylinder stat kicks in this radiator doesn't heat. I guess this...

It has to be a Yew Hedge, evergreen, dense, bushy but slow growing, barrier against noise, wind and kids!

Great! I think I'll install the SAB at the front and the SCB at the back, therefore, if the battery doesn't last long it won't matter so much at the back of the house. Cheers.

Most helpful chaps! Thanks for the replies. It would be a DIY install, so I think it will be a Texecom Excell with the easier keypad for programming etc. Is it possible to wire up two working alarm boxes, looking at buying Odyssey 5. Thanks.

Hi Alpha Alarms, Thanks for your reply, for the extra few quid 8 core if probably worth it then. The panel I'm looking at is a Veritas R8 Plus, which supports EOL I think. Need to do some research on EOL! Thanks again

Hi, looking to install an alarm, probably a Texecom, trying to get all the bits together, just wondering if I need a 6 or 8 wire alarm cable please? When would I need 8 wires please? The cost is about 10 pounds more for the 8 wire. Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for the replys, the number doesn't really tell me the model version.

Hi, been offered a Texecom D5010 control panel, however I'm not sure what model this is? Would anyone know whether it's a Vertias or Premier please? Many thanks for any answers.

Looks like an earth wire, runs down the wall into the tarmac!

Great thanks Breezer. Any ideas where I can get a new drop line connection box please?

Our telephone line coming into the house is joined externally on the gable end. We are extending the side of the house so the line need to be repostioned. The external connection has an earth wire going to the ground. Is an earth required for a telephone line please? Thanks for any replies.

Great - thanks for the replies. I'm looking at 24" blade, Stihl seems to tick all the right boxes. I'll check out Husqvarna too. On a budget of £250. Notices Stihl and Husqvarna don't recommend internet sales. Hopefully my local dealers are competitive.
