Fair enough. Saves a job. Thanks. Render haS hairline cracks so thought I should have sealed,it.

Hi - I have a rendered wall that was re-rendered 18 months ago. I like the colour of the render - white cement was used- and I just want to apply the correct thing to protect the render from the rain and frost. I DON’T want to change the colour with paint. I can only find advice on...

Crikey, thanks for the link to the Rooftile Assoc. I’m definitely going to get an expert to do it properly and do it once and get it sorted - not a question of patching and bodging.

Oh, right, thanks. So many people don’t do things properly. We should value, and pay for, experts at their craft / trade. Thanks again.

Datarebal - what’s wrong with the bottom course?

Awesome replies - thank you. I would never have thought of changing the whole guttering. Why don’t you like plastic - no good or appearance? The joints have gone too - because water rested in it, then froze in the winter, joints broke, caused icicles and just got worse and worse. Plumber /...

Hi - I have perpetual issues on very heavy rain ( downpours) I think I’ve worked out the problem but don’t know the solution. 1. Rain comes from the left to R on the LH roof , then there is a say 2” down pipe and drop into the gutter below which then feeds into the gutter which then turns...

Everything replaceable. Solid.

Cheers.

Thanks oilhead - will do. Will be a couple of days before I can do that. Can they be unstuck, or is it a replacement job.

Hi - the mains light is on all the time ( well maybe not at midnight) and it never used to be. The orange light used to go on, the boiler would fire up, then after it had stopped firing, the main power light would go out too. Now it stays on. Eg, heating actually switched off timer at 8pm...

Hi All - well nearly 3 weeks have passed and all this time I have been having email correspondence with Rangemaster. They take about a week to reply to every question. I have learned a lot so thank you particularly JJ for invaluable electrical guidance and to Alan who cracked it with his...

This is so frustrating and I’m sure everyone is losing the will to live, but on this link https://www.rangecookers.co.uk/rangecookers_blog/files/putting_your_cooker_clock_back.html it quite clearly shows how setting the clock SHOULD be done - the traditional method of pressing and holding...

Alan - my word, I’ve done it. I’ve only tested it briefly but everything seems to be working. Amazing result! Thank you so much. How incredible that you would keep a note of what you did. I would never in a million years press both and then RELEASE to set. My only concern now is that I...

Hi JJ - well it doesn’t like that - when I try and set it, it beeps. BUT the wretched ‘cooking pan’ symbol has gone, so somethings changed. A random number of 1869 (I think) came up - but it wasn’t the time, as no ‘:’ in between the digits. That’s gone off now and it’s flashing the minutes...

Will do, thanks. I swapped the whole order around as well, but that didn’t work either. I’ll put it back to how you suggested initially, and then swap the white and yellow as you say. I’m not quite sure what you mean by denominated, but I haven’t altered st1 and st2 but it is written on the...

Hi JJ - I’ve found the new wiring diagram - but I’ve decided I can’t work it out after all - shouldn’t have given up physics at school. I see only 2 wires on their diagram - brown and yellow- and brown is a switch is it? So where is the double brown and white gone?

Hi JJ - . It hasn’t worked unfortunately - actually, it is slightly worse in that it doesn’t turn the oven off now, but counts up. I’m learning fast and might be able to work out a wiring diagram ( actually, I probably couldn’t). I wonder if you could advise again - perhaps I could reverse...

JJ, you are a total star - someone that can interpret a wiring diagram - thank you so much. I have actually just discovered that the oven will switch off when asked to - it’s just that it’s a random way of doing it - can’t explain, but it’s like it’s working back to front. I KNOW I must be so...

Believe me Alan, I’ve tried every single possible combination. The fact that the ‘cooking pan’ symbol is showing all the time makes me a bit suspicious.
