Hello everyone, I have been checking out the loft for the winter, 1940s purlin roof. Bad news, only 3x2 ceiling joists and only 75mm of insulation. The loft is already badly boarded all over so I've removed the boards on the outer sides of the binders and topped up with 200mm but the...

Thanks Tony, None of that applies but I do have little people so lower temp rads and water is not a bad thing. Cheers Jez

You seem to be trying to make arguments for saving money on hot water somehow without realising that its only 15 % of the fuel bill and the potential savings from reducing your bill is with the 85% which is heating and reducing the flow temp is likely to give you way more savings! That is not...

Only because I believed the recommendation for the cylinder should be 60c to prevent bacteria growing. Also if you only need a little hot to a lot of cold then less cold is going into the cylinder. Otherwise, colder hot water meaning drawing more off so more cold in the cylinder meaning more...

Hello guys, A question of best practice if I may? My 25 year old heat only Glow-worm space saver 60BR mkII supplies a fully pumped open vented system plus indirect cylinder. My questions are, what should the flow temp be set at roughly when the cylinder stat is set to 60 to heat it the...

Aye, that's what I was thinking. Another job on the list! Thanks

Hello guys, New house and starting to poke around. In the airing cupboard is the shower pump fed from the hot water cylinder. The hot supply tees of the main outlet pipe from the cylinder so I guess the cylinder is not fitted with a shower attachment, so, When first turning on the...

If you mean the transparent logo as mentioned then do not worry about burn in. They move them slightly each ad break to avoid this on older TVs and new TVs don't suffer the same. However for gamers out there that like very bright screens with games that have lots of fixed info eg racing, COD...

She is obviously superhuman then if this has been going on a while

Next time the alarm goes off, go round and knock on her door to see if she is ok and take your alarm with you and see if yours goes off too. If you've not lit a fire perhaps you can scare her into getting her appliances checked. Where is her alarm in her house?

I'm no plumber but have you turned off the incoming water main cock to see if it stops? At least you'll know if its in the house or not. If you do have a leak I hope your not on a meter?

Was going to say the same ^ It's probably her boiler trying to gas her as her heating kicks in.

Nooooo! Don't go to the stealer, they will more than likely charge you a diagnostic fee and want to change the lamda just because the computer says so without bothering to find out why it's readings are out, it's good for a quick buck. Go to a VW independant who will know what they are doing...

something like that and gets registered as a claim or depending on damage you might be able to agree to fix your own and not claim.

By your own book it states only overtake on the left if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right, and there is room to do so. This could be argued all day :-)

Fair comment but lorries hang right before they turn left and I wouldn't undertake one of them indicating left. Different thing all together I know. He was for sure going down a side road and not into a drive? He'd need a swing to go into a tight left. Also if he indicated and slowed right...

I'd say if you were overtaking in single lane then you were on the wrong side of the road therefore the onus is on you to decide if it is safe to do so. Seems harsh but sounds like because he was going slowly you passed in frustration instead of just waiting. How did you know he was 'letting...

I would go for Mass Airflow Sensor failing. Oh and new air filter if you haven't already. Common as poo on VW Audi group. Any decent garage would check it and would be done by driving car and logging g/s reading through obd port. Lamda's show up faults in the system and when they fail they...

Agreed. The TF1 looks like a mix of Magnaclean and Spirovent.

Thanks. I've got the spirotrap (old one) already but either my system is wonderfully clean or it's not that much cop as a full blast sees hardly anything come out and thats after a year use? Just wondered on the Magnacleans as the new house we are buying has nothing and as I said unless my...
