Hi, Hope someone can help, the latch (is that what it is called?) on our bathroom door is not working properley - basically it does not go in completely when you pull the handle down and so it is getting difficult to open the door. I thought it would be straight-forwad to replace but I...

Just to close this off, called out an electrician in the end and said that something in the isolator switch had burnt out. He said it was a cheap switch that had not been fitted properly (was fitted by bathroom fitters) and was amazed that it had lasted the 18 months that it had. Anyway has...

Thanks for this, you are correct about the neon light answer, missed that. Considering that I did not understand most of what you said in your post :) I think we will be going down the electrician route. Thanks, D

To be honest I am not entirely sure I would be comfortable replacing this even if I had to, there didn't seem to be an awful lot of give in the cables unless I was just being a little too gentle when trying to pull them out a bit. Is it significant that the isolator switch light goes out when...

Just an update, I opened up the isolator switch this evening to see if there was anything obvious going on. Took a few photos which I hope I have uploaded successfully but I could not see anything obvious going on. One thing that I did notice is that if I switch the shower on then the neon...

Thanks for this. Think I will check the isolator switch for anything obvious. If nothing can be found then may just call someone out. Thanks, D

Thanks for the responses. We haven't checked what happens to the neon when we try to switch the shower on - the only thing we do know is that no water comes out :D Did check the consumer unit and nothing had tripped - I did flick the fuse for the shower off and on again to no avail...

Hi, Hope someone can help. Went to switch on the electric shower this morning and nothing happened and when I checked the shower I noticed that the power light was not on. Check the wall mounted isolater switch (I use these words like I know what I am talking about :D ) and it was in the...

Apologies if this has been posted in the incorrect place and I know this may be answered in some regulatory document, but I thought it might be easier to try and get a quick Yes or No. I have a 3 way light switch that operates lights under the cupboards in the kitchen, the main kitchen light...

I did contact Potterton but they charge £299 for a fixed price fix, where as nPower and British Gas are both around £195. I may just go with British Gas.

OK, looks like the fixed price fix is the way to go after the multiple resets that had to be done this evening. Just wondering, if people to choose would it be British Gas or nPower? Thanks, D

Hope someone could help. I have a Potterton Suprema 40 boiler and last winter it started playing up, it would keep tripping out and we had to keep resetting it. This reset would only sort the problem for 5 minutes sometimes before it would trip out again. We got the boiler serviced and...

The boiler is a Potterton Suprima 40. Like I said, the different colour is only right at the top of the flame.

Apologies if this is a bit of a novice question but I hav a query about the colour of the flame in our boiler. It seems to be mainly blue but at the top it is slightly orangy yellow - should I be worried about this at all? Thanks, D

Thanks for all the answers guys. Annoyingly the boiler stayed on all night last night for the first time in ages, although when I got home this evening it was off and I had to do the reset again. So, the British Gas on off fix is worht it then?

Does it sound like it is the PCB that is the problem? I seem to remember reading a little while ago that this model of boiler may be known to have a problem - would this affect them coming to look at it? Thanks.

We have a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler (about 7 years old and put in new as part of new house build) which keeps tripping/locking out. We just get a flashing red light and have to hit the reset button to sort it out. This has been happening for a while but recently it has got worse - it has to...

I have taken the shower head off and the water coming out of the hose does not seem to be coming out at any great rate, in fact if I hold the hose up vertically the the water hardly manages to come out at all. I presume the diverter valve is basically the knob that is moved depending on where...

I hope that someone can help. We currently have a bath shower mixer and this has a little knob that is twisted left or right depending on whether you want the water to come out of the shower head or just the taps. In the past the pressure of the water coming out of the shower has been fine...
