Daily mail is from today I confess I do not read the Standard or the Mirror so missed those two I would not say the information was widespread as nothing in Telegraph, Sun, Mail before today, Express before yesterday, Mails money site. As for Ofgems own website who on earth would include that...

What news feeds ? I read a fair selection of newspapers every day and that was the first mention I had seen of it. Weeks is not much anyway given it was supposed to have started in November last year!

I have just discovered this in the Express Link to Ofgem page here Just enough time to get a few heartfelt responses in by Email

Your very lucky, I am with penny pinching Anglian and they only install DUMB meters not smart, consequentially I have to go out in all weathers & kneel in the mud to read the wretched thing. The old meters used to have a magnet on the dial you could sense with a reed switch but some stupid jerk...

I have been on Bisoprolol for years following a heart attack caused by AF, initially they prescribed 5mg but I found that slowed me down to much so after 6 months they reduced it to 2.5mg and that's the dose I have been on ever since. I always take it in the morning during breakfast (along with...

Good you are back in working order, it could still be a defrost heater circuit fault, if so the ice will build up again over time. Sounds like you checked out the heater ok, did you check out that thermal fuse ? These days the timer is usually part of the micro-processor software in the front...

Induction from adjacent cables hopefully. I recently bought a house where the same trick had been played in the entire house! *******s, I had to have it re-wired at no small cost. Some people are just ****'s and **** on anybody without a care in the world, like the spiv in a BMW who pulled into...

Don't forget you need regular access for spider cleaning, they love CCTV!

I was confused by the model as I have a WIDL126 but I see the difference is yours is the built in variety. Might help when searching for help to try WIDL126 as well :giggle: Meanwhile about 18 months ago I had a fault similar to yours and it turned out to be a bad connection inside the pcb! I...

I think it preceded TRV's. I moved ours (thermostat) from the hall where frankly I could not care less what the temperature is to the lounge where I do, TRV's everywhere except the lounge :giggle:

Surely your system has a programmer/timeswitch to set the hours that it is able to come on for hot water or central heating ?

I use a spirit level and suitable long piece of straight something as well. It helps if the pipes have a bit of give in them, I have one radiator where they are in a concrete floor and they are holding up the radiator (brackets to low), something on the long round tuit list! Have you tried a...

I have one in my house that is like a horizontal tower of pizza, IMOP either the installer was p*ssed or it's a clever devious method of combating sludge :D

Well done, I hope you get many more years out of that excellent de-humidifier :)

Nonsense, I have recently moved property and there is absolutely no connection between thermal performance and council tax. If you insist otherwise please provide documentary evidence.

I had an Indesit FF with a problem and also found on of these amongst the coils in the freezer, it also had 4 wires and as far as I remember they were all RED! In any case there are two thermal fuses in there to make it fail safe in case one fails to open and they are in series with the defrost...

I had a similar problem with overhead OR cables (but at least no pole) not serving my property, there was also no wayleave BUT on investigation I found the b*stards have "flying rights" and I would have to have forked out big money to get them moved. In the end I moved house......

OMG I had one of those, it sadly got less effective, I took it to some refrigeration engineers who added valves to the lines, repaired some leaks and refilled it. Sadly a year later back to the same state so I assumed there were multiple pinholes in the heat ex-changers and scrapped it. Never...

The sounds and the shape of the Spit are well demonstrated in this video Spitfire As an engineer I sometimes think of the Merlin as an early gas turbine with an unusual reciprocating combustion chamber ;) Stanley Hooker might agree! Anybody interested in this line of thought could look up the...

Not quite sure what you mean there, the Fleabay replacement that turned up was faulty, I was not blaming it for the original fault as it was not there......... Anyway the new part from Sfix arrived yesterday and was fitted, not only did it work yesterday but the boiler worked this morning...
