    Connecting an electric oven

    I need to connect an oven and need some advice: I have a 1.5mm heatresistant cable (twin+earth) as per the instruction manual for the oven, and the connection box in the back of the oven has 3 big screws on metal plates, one each for blue, brown and earth. I'm not sure how to connect wires...

    Identifying an electric cable - heat resistant?

    Hello all, how do you identify a cable?, ie. does a list exist anywhere where you can look up the markings on the cable/wire/flex you have to hand, and find out whether it's eg. heat resistant, or find out what this cable is suitable for? I've tried to find such a list of cable markings on...

    Flooded: Karcher 520M pressure washer, any hope?

    To close this thread for future readers of this post: The Karcher engineer thought that maybe a valve had got stuck, and recommended that I flush the system, which worked, the machine is now working. To clear the valves, do the following: Turn the water supply off. Remove the pressure...

    Flooded: Karcher 520M pressure washer, any hope?

    Yes, I would also generally expect that it would be built to handle a bit of water. I called Karcher today, the callcentre girl spoke to an engineer who suggested that maybe one of the valves had got stuck, and so I need to run water through the pressure washer (while it's switched off) for...

    Flooded: Karcher 520M pressure washer, any hope?

    The problem is that one water hose wasn't secured where it enters the machine, and came off, pouring water all over the machine/engine/pump. Switched the water off immediately, but the machine stopped working. I've now let it dry out for 4 days in the very hot sunshine we've had, and...

    Recurring air in radiators, pressure down

    Sorry, forgot to say: I'm not sure how low the pressure is when fully cold, but when hot it's just under/on the green area on the bar-scale, ie. at ca. half a bar. I've just been up to check it, and it was at half a bar again, inspite filling it up to 2 bar only two or three weeks ago...

    Recurring air in radiators, pressure down

    Thanks, how do I add inhibitor? Can I just check: This house was done up in year 2000, to a modern standard, and I assume they would have redone the pipes, as everything we can see (in the loft and basement) looks new. When I bleed the radiators, I get completely clear water, the only...

    Recurring air in radiators, pressure down

    I'm a newbie to handymanship, and thought I'd ask this question here, before getting a plumber in: I have a problem with needing to bleed my radiators (run by a Vaillant boiler) every 2 months or so, and consequently having to refill the system to bring the pressure back up. Is there...

    New condenser tumble dryer, newbie questions...

    Thanks Steve, I just bought an oven recently and found out the hard way that there was more to buying an oven than a layperson would think!, so got worried about the dryer as well :0) Thanks a million for everyone's help and patience. xS

    New condenser tumble dryer, newbie questions...

    Thanks for that, I'll just make sure it comes with a plug, then - shopping online makes this a bit harder to check, but a few emails before I buy is worth the hassle to avoid a nasty surprise like having to pay an electrician hundreds of £'s to get the thing working. Thanks again. S

    New condenser tumble dryer, newbie questions...

    Can somebody please tell me whether there is anything more to installing a condenser tumbledryer, than attaching a plug? I'm wondering whether there, like with ovens, is a difference to the kW (or other factors preventing easy installation) and therefore whether some tumbledryers need to be...

    Installing a 3KW built in oven

    Hi there, someone else mentioned the other day, that I should expect the oven to come with cables: It's an AEG B21004M, but there are no cables. Where do I get the 2.5 cable? Homebase? B&Q? Local hardware store? Many thanks again for absolutely superfast replies, I'll recommend this...
