Ok, so yeah the diverter valve is definately leaking, albeit very slowly. Can get a refurbed piece for £35. How much of a task is it to replace?

see next post

Ok, so got home first thing ive done is take the front off the boiler and noticed that there seems to be some dried rusty coloured stains in the bottom and what still appears to be a small patch that is still wet (circled green in photo). Not sure if this is the cause of the problem or something...

Ok ill give it a go, thanks. If it does turn out that water is coming out of the relief valve, what is the diagnosis?

Ok, will be difficult without a ladder in the dark but will see what I can do later

Morning All, Woke up this morning to a cold house and heating wasn’t on after 7am as scheduled. Checked boiler (Vailant EcoTec Pro) and error F.22 was flashing and pressure was at 0.2 bar. Topped up with filling loop to 1.5 and it went back on its way. Now to add a bit more context, back at...

Ok will get them later. Do you need just the inside valve or one of the meter too?

Hi All, Tried to get Smart meters fitted a couple of times over the past few years, first when they were SMETS1 and now with SMETS2. Both times we have been told that they cannot fit the Gas one due to the pipes that connect to the meter being concealed within the cavity wall which apparently...

Im looking to replace our kitchen sink. The cut out is 500mm width x 850mm length. The sink im looking at is 510mm width x 860mm length. Is 5mm lip all round enough?

Thanks all. It's this bit that confuses me. I assume the connector is for these blocks, however just not sure how. Those 16 holes you see on the pic plug into the back of the radio so they dont go in that side. Are they meant to squeeze in to the same slot as the blue wire from the other side...

Sorry if this is really obvious. But ive got an amplified aerial adaptor for the car and the blue wire has what i assume is an ISO connector on the end. How do these actually fit?

Hi all, thanks for your replies. Luckily i had a call from the supplier today about the delivery and whilst i was on the phone i asked if they would be able to drill them for me and they obliged. Do hopefully the only drilling i will be doing is inside the carcass for any that dont line up with...

Thanks for the detail, let me just try and get my head round this! :) Sounds similar to an idea i had which was getting a plank of wood the same height as the doors (i think they are all the same height) then drill the holes in the right place through that piece and then use it as template on...

Hi, Ive ordered some new doors for the kitchen to replace the ones we already have. They dont come pre drilled so will need to do them myself. They are laminate doors so have got the TCT drill bit. Any tips on how to get them drilled perfectly? They will obviously need to match existing...

Hi, Not a major issue but when the WM drains theres a gurgle that comes from the kitchen sink, it can just get a bit annoying. I have attached a picture of the current pipework, with the WM and dishwasher sharing the sink waste, was just wondering if there was anything inexpensive i can...

I can see on one of our walls at the top of the stairs where a socket has been removed and repaired over at some point in the past before we moved in. I want to know if there are any electrical wires still behind it 1. for future reference and 2. If there are, i might turn it back into a socket...

Agreed. Thanks

Come on, lighten up, its not compulsory for them to be installed by a pro....i wasnt even asked who installed it when i phoned them. Also, the issue is with the heatlink and thermostat not talking to each other. It was working fine for 2 years so yeah im pretty happy i fitted it fine.

Hi, To cut a long story short, i installed a nest 3rd gen thermostat myself 2 years ago, but the device itself has gone faulty so nest are sending me a replacement. As part of the deal, they are giving me a free pro installation too, however im not sure if theres any point as i will just...

Its in terrible condition, when the extension got built, all the earth got piled up on the grass and never really recovered, some soil still remains making it uneven, just want to dig up, flatten and lay again Half of the lawn is arguably fine so was only going to do one half, depending how...
