Hi, I have been having some trouble recently with my combi boiler (Vokera 20/80 RS Flowmatic). First off, the hot water comes up to decent temperature, but only when flowing slowly. Filling a sink isn't too bad, filling a bath is a nightmare. Next, although at cold the pressure is set...

Sorry for the delay, the lug has broken off completely.

Yes, damp mop problem i assume from the previous owners. Possibly the odd dishwasher/washing machine flood. Who knows. I wasn't talking about damp btw. :)

My Kitchen was in the X-Mas sales (noooo!) from MFI. Basic model set, then added a few glass cabinets, extra 1000mm corner base and worktop. All for £850. Had a shuftie around e-bay and picked up a better sink and taps, some lights. In fact, if you compare/check prices e-bay is very handy...

Hi, Was changing some socket faces in the living room yesterday, and one interestingly came off too easy! After connecting everything back up, it took me a few seconds to realise that there was no-where for one of the retaining screws to go. The little lug that takes the screw sheared off...

Just replacing a double switch for the kitchen with a dimmer. On the existing (brass plate) it had the usual earth, L1, L2 and Com (common?). The new switch has L1, L2 and what looks like a tilda (wavy line) with a arrow crossed through it. Is this the symbol for common? Also, there is no...

Cheers! :D

REHASH! Now been looking for weeks trying to get hold of some decent priced (not £9.99 p/m from Maplin) low voltage cable to extend my low voltage lamps cable slightly. Any of those knowledgeable experts out there have any suggestions. Please. :(

The ongoing saga of my kitchen refit! The low voltage lighting i have (2 x transformers) for cupboard lights and under cabinet lights has been going to plan, However, The length of cable supplied with each downlight is only 1m and the distance from 2 of the lights back to the...

Is there a minimum distance from the kitchen floor for a socket??? (for a plug in and forget about item) __________________________________ Lynda, moderator please note forum rule 20

Hum. Cheers for that - stopped me in my tracks.

Lovely! Ta very much.

Apolgies, let me clarify - i don't want to te up the 2 x 2 gang sockets currently available. These would be used for fridge, kettle, toaster etc. Also i don't want wires on display where aviodable. I was thinking of installing a switch next to to current sockets, running a feed from them to...

Hi! I am about to replace the kitchen, and taking the opportunity to install halogen under-lights whilst there is the opportunity. I am unable to utilise the current kitchen lighting supply since the switch is too far away. I do however, have existing switched 13A wall sockets. Is there...
