Hi Guys, The shower has always been a bit weedy, you could wash better in the rain outside. So, as it was getting on a bit i decided to replace it, i fitted a 9.5Kw Triton, which has made a difference but its still not really powerful. I don't want to move to 10.5Kw as this one is only a couple...

Thanks for those replies Guys, i will give that a try later on. P.s. No, the filling loop si never disconnected.

Thanks for that reply. I am definite that the pressure has never risen before, i got into the habit of checking it as one of the old rads had a leak so it was constantly dropping and i have continued to monitor since replacement. Yes, the pressure does reduce when the system cools but not always...

I have a Potterton combi feeding 4 downstairs rads and 4 upstairs rads. About 2 months ago i replaced 4 of the old rads(2 up, 2 down) and bled and balanced the system at the time. Everything was hunky dory until 2 days ago when the furthest away downstairs rad wouldn't come on at all and the...

yeah it gets used all the time, straight after posting this thread i went to look at prices and you're probably right, at that price it might aswell be replaced.

Hi Guys, I got called around to my Grans to do the family duty as the fan in her cooker hood has stopped turning. The power is still there, the lights still work, and when you move the switch for the fan it starts to hum, gtting progressively louder on each higher setting. From this i am...

Thanks for replying Kevplumb, What sort of clip on thermometers, can i just get them from a DIY store? Cheers

Hi Guys, Let me apologise in advance as i know you must have been asked this a thousand times. I have searched the forum but i have discovered a few conflicting answers so i would like to be certain. I have a Potterton Combi Boiler feeding 8 rads. (4 up 4 down). Downstairs in order of...

thanks for that little tip kevplumb :D

It would be a cleaner job but the rads are central under windows so both ends would have to be extended and the guy at work is an ex-plumber who still knows what he's doing and is doing it as a favour, i would ask him to come and do it that way but we live nearly 70 miles apart so its a lot of...

Hi Guys, sorry if this duplicates anything, in my lounge/dining room (open-plan) i have 2 rads, they're not up to scratch so i'm replacing them. I have worked out the BTU's required for the room and checked that my combi can cope with the more powerful rads. My problem is that the 2 rads that i...

Recently my Hotpoint Aquarius 1200 has stopped heating up during the drying cycle. It does this whether as part of a programme or just when being used as a standalone dryer. Any ideas? Any help much appreciated.

When i moved in the estate agents told me that the code began 16 but they didn't know the rest of it, so i assume from that, the code must have been changed from a default. Thanks for all the help so far i think i'll contact scantronic to see if they have a recommended engineer in my area. Any...

thanks for that, can anybody recommend someone to do that for me in the durham area and how much should i expect to pay?

Hi Guys, i hope you can help.. I purchased a house that already had a burglar alarm system fitted, but the previous owner didn't use it and doesn't remember the code. The company that fitted it are no longer available on the number on the front of the alarm box. The control panel doesn't seem...

Further to my previous thread "adding electricity to a loft" i have 2 options open to me if i am to go ahead with the work without doing cosmetic damage to the house that i certainly can't afford at the minute. They are as follows firstly i have a double plug socket about 6" from a walk in...

hi guys, my central heating system is powered by a Potterton Combi 80 that is situated in the utility room on the ground floor at the very back of the house extension with the header tank(s) in the original loft space. it is a mid-terrace with ground and first floors only. The system feeds 2...

Hi Guys, thank you for all the replies you have given so far. Firstly to answer paul53's concerns all the rewiring consisted of replacing the older wires for new like for like and swapping single outlets to doubles so nowhere to go wrong really but it was all overseen and checked by a qualified...
