That's good to know. Thank you again.

That's a good idea. Really simple. There's no chance the valve would move in the water flow? Although I suppose I could attach a wire to the valve stem to prevent rotation as a belt & braces approach. Thanks.

I'm just looking for a bit of advice on something that is probably a bit unusual. I've just removed my old hot water tank and I've replaced it with a Sunamp device. There's no point in connecting the hot water circuit to the Sunamp as the boiler ( very old, gravity, vented ) flow isn't...

Wow, that was quick. Thank you.

I just want to check that I'm doing the correct thing. I'm having solar panels fitted and the soil stack is problematic owing to it casting a shadow over some of the PV panels. To resolve this, I'm thinking that I can cut the soil stack short in the loft and put an air admittance valve on it...

The replacement element arrived today. I removed the old element and my confidence in the diagnosis went almost to 100%. I spotted a patch of overheating in one corner of the element. Anyway, got the new one fitted and it certainly seems to have fixed the problem. Utter nightmare to do...

Thanks all. I don't have a megger so I can't test the insulation ( except with a normal multimeter ) but it all looks good. I've ordered a pattern element as it's only £10. If I subsequently have to replace the 'stat, I'm then only down a tenner this way round.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to matter what temperature is selected for the grill, the RCD trips soon after the element gets to bright red - even with the temperature set to the maximum. I'll check for other obvious causes ( wiring etc ) and then get a pattern element which should only have to last...

I recently had my fuse box ( yes, fuses ) changed to a new consumer unit and now I have a problem with the ( admittedly ancient ) cooker. The main oven and the rings are fine. The problem is only with the grill function of the top oven/grill. The top oven is good. The symptoms are that the...
