The reason I asked was that the bath mixer is on the end of a run, and by installing it there, the pump would literally just be supplying the bath mixer, albeit from a feed that tee'd off before that point for the basin. The cold is a dedicated feed so I just wanted to check with regards to the...

Any ideas?

Success! Read a few things online about standard boilers, and my problem pointed to the thermocouple. Was encouraged by the fact that these can be replaced, so I checked it over. When looking at the boiler I noticed a very non descript green pin right down the back left hand side. I pushed...

I'm getting somewhere! OK, looked at those diagrams, checked all wiring again, and then connected in the black wire to "8". Fired it up and the actuator and the valve seemed to be operating as they should be. I can now run it on CH only, HW only and CH & HW, and I can see the actuator pin...

Anymore takers on this one? I've traced the black wire back up to the programmer and its connected to To the HW OFF terminal. That same cable has an earth, Brown to Live and Blue to Neutral. (The other cable has Red HW On connected to 10, (Which is HW on) and Black CH On, which is connected to...

Thanks for the link. I check turnt the power off to the valve to let it reset and tried again. This time it would sit on HW only, move to the mid position when HW and CH is called for but would not move to just CH. SO using the guide I connected the grey and white to live, turnt back on and...

Ahh makes sense will do. Just been and had a look to see where the valve is moving, and this time it didnt seem to move anywhere, the manual lever is unlocked in auto, but switching between HW only, HOW and CH, and CH only, didnt result in it moving at all ? Do you think its faulty...

The one other thing that has been a bit strange lately, is that our room stat starting showing a battery sign (its a Honeywell T6620B) on its digital display, I replaced them with energiser rechargeable, (2450mah) and I noticed that the battery light is on again today, which means that it lasted...

OK, to answer a few of the questions. I have replaced the Valve on the recommendation of the plumber that had a look at it, (a British Gas engineer.) The valve was a ACL Lifestyle 679340-30L0 valve and I have replaced with a Drayton MA1/679-3 (22mm). This was a direct like for like...

Hi all, looking for a bit of help or advice. Last Friday my central heating stopped working. I have a standard vented system with a quite old boiler (Radiation Fuelsaver 9), and feed and expansion tank in the loft. I managed to get a plumber who's a friend of a friend, (works for BG) to come...

I forgot to add... The pipe work to the bath mixer is all 22mm pipe, yet the pump has 15mm connections, is it ok to reduce down to 15mm where it entered pump and then go from 15-22mm once it exits (and back to the mixer)? Thanks!

I have a Mixer tap on the bath which has connected shower. The pressure is not great. It is fed with a 22mm supply direct from cold storage tank, and 22mm feed from hot water cylinder (in the adjacent bedroom) I was thinking of locating a 1.5bar small shower pump, under the bath. This could...

Well I have done a fair bit of reading this evening and the previously mentioned solar idea seems quite tempting. There is quite a good article here http://www.reuk.co.uk/Shed-and-Garage-Solar-Lighting.htm And the thought of connection up a DIY system doesn't actually seem too bad. My...

OK, just to answer some of the questions and ideas people have suggested. I did initially think about running the cable across the houses somewhere near the soffits, and then down to the garage. No one else in my terrace has power to their garages (They only use them for storage), but I'm...

I understand that, and accept that, what I meant was that if it would cost a huge amount then it might not be worth it due to the use I would get out of it. Of course not ! :D I would be getting someone in to do it, and would obviously comply with any legal regulations. Not sure...

Im too sure about the legalities of the wall, will have to look into that, it does form the back wall of our garden but not sure about the rest of it? I would like power in there, but I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount, as its mainly for lighting and a few sockets to basically charge...

Not particularly keen on a generator due to the noise. If I was able to run the cable out the back, then I would not be cutting across anyones property. The plan doesn't really show it that well, but there is a brick wall about 6 ft tall running along the back of our garden, along a...

I want to get some power to my detached garage, please see my rather crude plan above! Now as I understand, the preferred option would be to have a seperate mains running from my fusebox (in the house) out to the garage where there would be a small distribution board splitting the lights and...

I moved into our first house in June an im now getting close to finihing all th redecoration off. THe main thing to finh is the kitchen. I fitted new kitchen (one of the take away ones from Wickes) its not amazing quality but im pretty happy. The only thing I dont like is the drawer unit...

Where about was the valva situated?
