yeah that's the one. i have a bar for earth at the top and a bar at the bottom for neutral. Got it. cheers

cheers m8, my learning curve is getting there! one other thing. The instructions mentioned a neutral wire running from the bottom of the RCD to one of the neutral points on the bottom of the unit. Do ALL the neatrals go here?

me again :o I've received my shiny new garage cu. couple of q's what is the purpose of the busbar? Do the wires just go into the screws above it as normal? The is a screw at the top and bottom of each MCB. The unit has 1 RCD and two MCB RCDs. I assume the RCD is for incoming power...

OK wish me good 'following instructions carefully!!' thanks

cheers m8, wish me luck!

thanks breezer. Is it just simple as swapping over the current one I have? Do you know of any online tutorials just to keep me in check? The ones on here weren't really in depth enough thanks

I'm converting our garage into a playroom for little 'un. At the moment there is an old MEM unit with two fuses (ceramic types). I have four double sockets, and three lights in the room. I have the electricity wired up and working ok, but am concerned about long term use. Would a consumer...

thanks, at least it rules that out. I will check the other pressures, it's just a weird fault

My Potterton (Puma 80, yes it's fitted at last for those of you who were reading previously) has a small problem. When I turn the hot water on, the hot water is almost instant, stays hot for a few seconds, then goes cold, then after about 30-45s goes hot again. Based on other posts...

lol - believe it or not it's taken that long to get the boiler and get it fitted. The other one was working, but dripping. Bought a reconditioned one (couldn't afford a new one), eventually got someone to fit it. It did not work. Had to go for 2 weeks without hot water and heating, then it...

Me again. Is this a job I can handle, with fairly minimal electrical knowledge. Obvioiulsy I'll isolate the unit etc, and the wires themselves are all labelled.

Cheers mate

My plumber has just connected my re-conditioned Potterton Puma 80 boiler. The water and everything flows through correctly, but the pilot light will not stay lit, and he says the pressure valve is leaking I called the guy who fitted it, and he said it was not 'commissioned' properly, and...

Agree on the bleach use. Takes out most things, great on grout too if you get the really think stuff. No need to re-grout often

thanks peeps, good advice as always.

It's a glowworm something or other, cannot remember the model. It's about 10 years old. I will try and source the part. I'm concerned that if I take it out water will come out everywhere!!! are there precautions I need to take here?

OK Cheers guys, I guess I need to replace the vessel or the whole thing ;-( thanks for all the help

Yeah, I think it is a pressure valve, sounds familiar. I just wondered whether sealing it up would work, I would rather have a go with a £5 sealant first, then if it still does not work get the part replaced. Not had any experience with epoxy and sealants for these purposes, so wondered...

I have a crack of about 4 inches in the small red tank at the back of my combi boiler. This has resulted in dripping water. The plumber (somewhat unsurprisingly) said the whole thing needs replacing. Is it possible to repair the crack, at least to stop it dripping for a few months? The...

thanks, I'll put the silicon wherever I can ! Cheers breezer
