Hi again Tony, Following on from my previous post, do you know if the Finder relays are available in Standard single pole configuration? I have only seen NO or NC changeover types, which are different to the original one used on the PCB. Incidentally, I have seen some relays that give two...

Hi Tony, Yes, I am well aware that relay contacts are usally rated for a 'resistive' load, I mean, I studied the theory enough when I was at college! I am also aware of intial motor turn on current being higher due to the surge of current required to start a static motor. :) The point I...

Dp, following on from what I've already said, if I were to replace the relay with one that is the same spec, i.e. same coil resistance, coil voltage, and with 240V rated contacts, but with a current rating of 10Amps instead of 5Amps, as the original is, would that in your opinion be considered...

Dp, I'm sure that Baxi would love nothing more than me to shell out 100 odd quid on a new PCB every time a 30 pence component fails! The fact is the PCB quite clearly isn't 'fit for the purpose to which it was designed', as there should have been at least a snubber network protecting the relay...

19 views and not a single reply? :( Surely someone out there can help? Any tips would be most appreciated as I am keen to make a start on the windows soon. Thanks, Rob.

Hi There, Before carrying out any necessary remedial work, can anyone suggest how I can determine what is causing the problem with poor sound insulation and slight drafts, i.e sufficient sealant not applied around external frame (where it meets the wall) or around the internal side of the...

Hi JohnD, That's excellent, many thanks for that. I have an account with screwfix so will get some remover. Also, what sealant do you suggest would be the best to use? I am intending reapplying the sealant to both the inside and exterior of the windows. I have heard that there is an...

Ok thanks for that. Anyone got any suggestions as to the easiest way to remove the old sealant? Is there a preferred method that I should use? Thanks, Rob.

Ok then, thanks Philip. Do you suggest I remove the old sealant first, or just apply fresh sealant over the top of the exisiting stuff? Or does it not matter? Thanks.

Hi Phillip, Do you suggest that I get hold of some external mastic sealant and go round all the window frames with it then? I am happy to do that if you think it may help. Thanks, Rob.

Hi There, I have uPVC double glazed windows and doors that the previous owner had fitted before selling the house to me. Anyway, I live near a fairly busy road and have noticed that the sound insulation isn't fantastic, as cars can be clearly heard driving past even whilst windows are...

Hi There, I have tom tom navigator installed and make use of a bluetooth gps receiver. I also have the phone connected to the car speaker for handsfree use. The problem is that the handsfree works fine via bluetooth except when I run the tom tom software. The handsfree then stops working...

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. :D

Hi There, It is a 3 button fob (rf)

Kevplumb, forgot to mention in my previous post but I have found a supplier for a service kit to repair the primary section of my 3 way valve assembly, as it currently has a minor leak. I was told by someone that I'd have to buy a complete new assembly, but this doesn't appear to be the case...

Kevplumb, I have actually repaired my boiler. Not sure whether you read my previous post about the fan/flue fault led flashing, but I traced the problem to the pcb. I then found a faulty relay on the board and replaced it with a new one - and hey presto, all is working fine. Sure beats...

I am just curious as to what's supposed to be checked and what isn't generally checked unless there's a fault.

Hi There, My brother has recently replaced the battery in his remote key fob and now he can't unlock/lock the car remotely. He has to unlock by putting key in lock and turning. He can still start the vehicle so is able to drive it. Could anyone please advise on how to reprogram/synch the...

Hi everyone! Could you please explain what parts of the system are checked/cleaned as part of a routine annual service on the above boiler? Thanks, Rob.

Hi Nick, Have you checked over the dud pcb's that you have yet? Just wondered whether it's true about the relays being a common fault. Thanks, Rob.
