Jobloggs The plumber, said not to bother with a room therm as I had TRV's on all the rads and to be honest I was a bit naive as to the building regs side of things, as was he by the sound of it !! Thanks for that link, good info, once I get my head round what I actually have, I will post a...

jo bloggs, thanks, very informative. Why would this have only started with the fitting of a new boiler ?? What are the consequences of the boiler 'boiling' ? and how much roughly would I be looking at to rectify the situation ? I paid the plumber £1400 for fitting the boiler, should I get...

Chrisshut. As far as I know, the answer is yes to your questions, and he did flush the system, as he decided it was a good idea to vent the dirty water over my driveway. Should I recieve a Cert from corgi once he notifies them ?? I am yet to recieve one, since Nov '05. Brumylad, The...

As the title says, I have recently had a new boiler (Ideal HE24) condensing type fitted and I now have very hot water (steaming) getting into the expansion tank in the loft, I checked today and there is also a lot of sludge at the bottom of the tank ?? I have also noticed that the tap...

Hello mate, Replica alloys will be far inferior to OEM ones, which on a BMW are usually BBS and high quality, esecially the M3 variants. The paint/laquer will not be as good, but the main concern would be the extra weight of the wheels next to OEM ones, which is the main reason for alloys...

The lowest cost for LABC in my area is £117 inc. So I would say - No. Keep the cost to a reasonable amount and you should still be able to sell it, especially on Flea bay. I have recently carried out some work, through LABC and only called them in, as I couldn't get hold of any red/black and...

As far as I am aware, it is still legal to install red/black up to the end of March 06. After that all new wiring or repairs to existing will have to use harmonised wiring. However, with the amount of diyers who are still prepared to do their own electrics, red/black cable will be impossible...

I have got 240v across the in/out terminals from the loop, yes. Yes I have wired it with a SW Live for the FCU, so I can switch on the cabinet lights from the 2G sw, where the main light is switched. i.e one for the main lights and one for the cab lights. If I remove the switch from the...

Sorry Crafty, I haven't taken a supply from a light switch (that would be stupid !!). I have cut into the lighting circuit upstairs, under the floorboards and put in a 4 way JB, which is basically wired in the same manner as a rose, with the load being the FCU, but why is it not working via...

Firstly, hello - first post !! Please let me know if I have done something stupid. I have wired a unswitched FCU, via a 4 way JB,using the supply from the lighting circuit and a switch from a 2G fitting in the kitchen. I want to use it to connect a LV transformer, to run some cabinet...

Hi, first post, so hello to you all. Be gentle !!! I recently had a new condensing boiler fitted (Ideal HE24), I live in a small 3 bed semi. Now I have noticed the exspansion tank is steaming in the loft, causing damp !! It never did it before, so what is the cause. I am no plumber, so...
