    Cooker placement query

    I may be wrong, but I think an installer would classify the blanking plate and cabling in plastic trunking as combustible materials & therefore not suitable directly above the gas hob of a dual-fuel or gas cooker. If you decide to buy an electric freestanding cooker, check whatever you're...

    MOT Help

    As Burnerman says, a spare wheel & tyre is not needed & if present would not be inspected as part of the MOT. If you're interested, the link below points to a guide published by VOSA about the MOT test including a list of the vehicle parts which will be tested: [Your car and the MOT]

    Help identify this door hinge type?

    No I don't think so. It's like a lift-off hinge but instead of lift-off it's pull-out.

    Help identify this door hinge type?

    :lol: Yeah, I'll have to borrow a hammer and give it a try. Not a big problem, I just thought someone on here might of seen them before.

    Dimmer switch

    Minimum load might be printed on the back of the switch along with the 250W maximum. See [VARILIGHT® Technical Support - My dimmer is causing the lights to flicker] :)

    Help identify this door hinge type?

    I was just wondering if any forum members could identify this type of door hinge & if so, a supplier if still made. It would appear that the prong in the centre of the part in the door leaf can be bent out with some sort of tool & then once done on all three hinges the door will pull away...

    C5 alarm manual

    From what I've read, in November 2006, GET plc was acquired by Schneider Electric. Schneider-electric.com doesn't seem to mention anything about intruder alarms or alarm keypads :cry: As suggested, possibly a GET plc keypad used by whoever the alarm manufacturer is/was?

    Wifi Boost

    If you can't/don't want to run UTP cables to those rooms, what about using PLC technology; sendng the data from your router over your house power cables? There are products to do this available from various companies. E.g: devolo dLAN 500 Duo+ Network Kit that would provide you with two...

    Bathroom door latch(?) replacement

    Hmm.. the lever on backplate internal door handles on their site (e.g. Angelica) are "available as Lock, Latch and Bathroom functions". I've not gone through their latches but it wouldn't do any harm to contact them (perhaps e-mail your photo) in case they can supply a straight swap for what you...

    New Candy dishwasher beeps at me!

    It could be that the water isn't able to drain out of the dishwasher. Are you sure that the point where you've connected the drain pipe from the dishwasher to the drain isn't blocked? If that checks out OK then I think the model number of the dishwasher (sticker on the inside top edge of the...

    c+ k secuitech alarm lost code

    The keypad will be connected to a control panel that is wired to the mains and contains the backup battery. To reset an unknown user code or do programming of the system, you'll need an engineer's code or a reset of the panel to factory default. I doubt you'll get info on how to reset the...

    Diplomat 8702 Washer Dryer

    Diplomat is an old MFI brand name & I think the machines were made by Servis. If your drawer looks like this: Diplomat APM8702 Detergent Drawer then it doesn't appear to have any catches to depress within the drawer, so will probably just have a little plastic lug on the bottom which...

    Electric Cooker Radial MCB Size

    My 8.5kW shower is protected by a 32A MCB also. All I know about the cable is that it runs between my ceiling and the floor of the flat above. I guess if the shower is drawing 35.4A, it takes somewhat more than 32A for the MCB to consider it an overload.

    The passive infrared (PIR) sensor detects changes of infrared energy through the Fresnel lens on the front face of the unit. A PIR not only detects movement of the human body, but also other temperature changes within its detection zone. To reduce false activations of the connected load...

    Leaking flush!

    I had the same issue with a B&Q 'Toilet 2 Go' after a few years and cleaning the seal didn't help. With mine if I did a short flush it would never seal properly and constantly leak a little into the pan. It seemed better with a long flush but not consistently, so I had to shut the water off to...

    Painting Radiators

    I've painted a few radiators with non-drip gloss in the past and never had a problem. I've not used white and could see how that might yellow as I've had that happen on woodwork just from sunlight. I used white radiator enamel on my storage heater, but that was because I could take the front...
