How much did they charge? (inc P&P and VAT, of course).

Nah. The rules have been being broken for many aeons. It's just happening more frequently now.

Unusual one in that it appears sealed (to avoid splashing/leakage of brine if/when tank overflows?). This https://www.toolstation.com/mcalpine-tun5-cl-tunvalve-straight-through-clear/p61842 one has a non return valve/seal to prevent waste pipe odours and may be the same device? EDIT Another...

I'd suspect mineral insulated heating elements in such kit. Will need a proper Megger type insulation tester to confirm a fault almost certainly. L-E and / or N-E fault though... has the OP checked both L and N? Also check the mains cable for faults? Can spares for the exact make and model...

Yep all our latest cars have speed sign detectors / mapping of road speeds and they get it wrong often enough. Ours said I could do 40 on a 30 road earlier. Then complained I exceeded 40 on a 60 single carriageway. Ours seems to decide to suddenly slow (regen brake) sometimes as we are...

In order to know you will need to simulate a mains power cut and (just for the test) have your monitoring kit powered from either your battery storage/inverter via a long extension lead or some other Battery-inverter source.

I've already linked two masthead PSUs plus a link to the complete Wolsey unit you have up thread. Depends if you want F-plug connections or TV plug connections to suit what exists in the home already... Adapters are available. Any brand 12 Volt >50mA masthead amp power supply will do. Most...

There are the exact, high quality, items required available from Clark Masts. They are expensive and the OP unwilling to pay for them. I noted that the largest size of universal clamps from Britishpipeclamps were around the £30 mark each, plus delivery. So if they would do two bespoke sizes...

Pic with the slide up lid removed please. Antenna (aerial in) will be Leftmost cable, and Power in will be on ANY of the outputs... so any of the three rooms those cables go to --- you fit a power supply to the cable in any one room you wish. NB it looks size wise more like a 6-way to my...

The picture or the model number will help enormously. We're guessing without it. No need for power in loft space (but there are ways to do that if you want/need to) as the power to the loft box can be supplied via one of the coaxial cables in a habitable room with mains power sockets. The...

Wolsey box? Model number or picture so we can read the labelling clearly. Most likely is the previous owners or removal firm have packed and taken the masthead (or remote-powered) amplifier's power supply box. (If I had a £1 for each time...) Check if any TV's or set-top boxes/PVRs have an...

Clark masts! A blast from the past. You are looking at a professional mast support i.e. a bespoke part. Nothing Clark masts make are cheap. But they are quality. (Used a vehicle with one of their pump up masts with calibrated UHF and VHF receiving antennas on top in one of my jobs, last...

Read the manual for the device(s) feeding into that tundish... it'll likely tell you the most likely cause (in part depending on whether water hot or cold). If an unvented HW cylinder a G3 registered plumber may well be required. Some, however, might have a user-replenishable air bubble that...

Harry will have the Octopus mini to read the IHD LAN signals via an App in the same way as the IHD does https://octopus.energy/blog/octopus-home-mini/ It also acts as a LAN range extender to smart gas meters (and 30 minute measurements).

https://www.fischer-international.com/en/products/installation-systems/pipe-clamps https://www.britishpipeclamps.co.uk/product-category/universal-pipe-clamps/ From the look of the Unistrut pipe hanger type you picture https://docs.rs-online.com/95e9/A700000007851155.pdf they are mainly...

Same as when a dumb meter certification time is up (or one goes faulty)... It gets replaced (but with a smart one). My supplier paid me £50 to have a smart meter. Having that smart meter lets me access a EV tariff with 6.7p inc VAT electric 0000-0700 each day. Peak rate is a tad over 27p inc...

Size of mast pipe? https://www.aerialsandtv.com/product-category/brackets-and-clamps would be typical stuff used.

The exception that proves the rule! Never managed to make mine work well enough to do that. Went off screaming no matter where pointed or complete silence (depending on 'gain' control). And no way to silence the :censored: thing when screaming away (so as to just watch the needle)!! A proper...

Where have you been hiding away from the News? EV VED is £195 same as many other vehicles as of 1st April 2025. New VEDS are also now subject to the over £40k supplements (if applicable). There were an awful lot of VED renewals by EV users in March at the £0 rate.

As useful as a chocolate teapot. (I used to caravan with a sat dish and one of those meters). The suggestions to use the receiver box metering is sound and adjustment can be extremely accurate. (Humax Foxsat-HDR in my case). I'd second the suggestion that the dish needs not be mounted high...
