Right then I'v got a sky+ box (Thomson Model No. 127b146) and its out of warranty and is playing up. The unit fails to record a program you setup in the planner. If your watching the channel and start recording it works but if you turn over while recording it looses satellite signal Can...

sleepyhead yes I earth one end and then test both ends of the element which reads 68volts. If i test from one end of the element as you mentioned this wont measure anything? Iv done a buzz test on the thermostat but it does not buzz. This is the same on the new one I bought. Should it buzz...

breezer or anyone else help! Right then so far Iv had little luck on getting it to dry clothes. I have:- 1. Replaced the thermostat for new one and it still wont work. Both the new one and old one measure 24kohms. I assume this is correct. 2. Iv tested the heating element resistance which is...

Just call an engineer, if still under warrenty, no point in playing with it yourself as it will void the warrenty and if you fail to fix it you will then need to pay someone to fix it

Cheers breezer. Well I'v taken it apart and I have it all over my kitchen now much to the wifes amusement! I'v removed the thermostat and from what I have been reading should be an opencircuit but its not so I'm assuming this is the problem. Anyway I'v ordered a new one for £7 (cheaper than...

breezer not got the space. is there any way of testing the items you mentioned? I thought a fault code would come up but nothing!

Can anyone help I have the above model and the dryer wont work, has anyone got any ideas?

Not sure if this goes in here or appliance but hopefully all the Gas bods can give me some advice. Iv just bought a house with part fitted kitchen and the gas hob is not connected. There is a compression gas valve with few soldered joints then a connector which I think is a compression...

sime10 what would be the point in that he can play about with it for few hours/days getting wet so next time he will be a pro and only get slightly wet! Saves paying someone £100 odd pounds to come and do it.

Chris, it is possible to continue the 22mm run all the way to the boiler with minimal work just a T off the 22mm pipe for the hob should be needed. Just wondered if this long run and hob running off it would be the reason for the plumbers saying I needed a new 22mm pipe from the gas box. God...

Ok why didnt you saywhat you needed :D It will probably be a greenstar 18Ri. The gas pipe as said is 22mm from front of house to kitchen under hob about ~7meters with 3 bends at most. I would then require the pipe to be extended about 4meters with a further 4 bends. Hope this is enough...

The system is an old unvented system with cylinder and feeds from tank in attic. I'm just going to have the old conventional boiler replaced with a more uptodate one.

Right then just wondering if someone in the know can give me a bit of advice. I'm looking to have a new boiler fitted to replace the old one but I want to move it into the garage. Iv had some quotes for the job and all have said I need a 22mm pipe from my gas meter regardless of location even...

Well that was a very scarry read and cant believe (well I can really!) the mess they have caused. After reading that I'm not going nere a combi system just going to stick with the openvent one and get a new boiler fitted.

Its an open vented system. It is about 20 years old but the boiler is starting to make a kettling noise when heating so was going to try and give the system a general crean out. Any suggestions???????? :(

Can anyone recommend a good cleaner?

Its just interesting to see that even largish companies in the yellow pages rip you off not just the bodgit man. On the bright side it makes the dodgy ones think twice about stretching jobs out and lying about what they do. As you say there is a small number but realistically unless you know...

Funny but not very helpful

Did anyone see the rogue trader program last night? Its got to be said the plumbers on there were the ones who give you lot a bad reputation and makes us customers annoyed at what they get away with. It was classic, they set a tap up with a damaged washer and called the plumber. It should have...

Just wondering if some knowledgable person can give me some advice on a friends house. The house recently had a heating leak which meant water coming down by a light in the hall way and buggering the ceiling up! Ever since this the bulbs keep blowing every now and then, has anyone got any...
