Once I get all the lights working, I am going to replace it with an LED unit.

Yes, I just checked.

There has never been one from what I can see, there are no other wires in the fitting.

All the wires into that light seem secure, so I will check the wiring to the rest of the lights and see if anything is loose. Thank you for your help.

When I first tested neutral to switched line it read 002 with the switch on, Permanent live to earth, which is what I was reading online said to check, showed 142, and permanent live to neutral read the same. However, now everything is reading either 000 or 002, it is varying between them on...

I just checked, basically zero, it went to 002 then 001. There is earth into the light fitting from the loop but the light doesn't have an earth to connect to, I checked the live to earth again and it is now showing zero. Picture of the connections into the light below. If I am right about the...

I had a search but couldn't find anything that answered my question, sorry in advance for the long post but I thought some background and what I have tested might help. My kitchen strip light, fluorescent with a starter, was flickering and then went dim. I was working and didn't have a spare...

Update: I am still waiting for the photocell to show up, but today the control box was delivered, Put the new box in place and the boiler is working fine. I will probably keep the photocell when it gets here, no harm in having a spare.

The photocell in it is a Satronic MZ770S, I ordered one from a plumbing and heating supplier, £15.39 including postage, hopefully will be here tomorrow or Thursday. It is a B11 burner.

I have just tried it using a torch to make sure there was plenty of light getting to the photocell as where the boiler sits is a bit dark, and it done the same, ran for 10 seconds and locked out. When the burner fired you can see the orange glow of the flame through the hole

Thanks for the reply. When I switched the multimeter to 2000k it did show a high reading in darkness and low when in light, I didn't think that was correct, especially as it was the opposite to what I seeing at 200k, but I did only go off someone on YouTube showing the same photocell and testing...

Hi all For background info, I have a Worcester Bosch Heatslave 20/25, it is at least 21 years old and over the years has had several parts replaced, also over the years it has gone through phases of constant lock outs, not firing etc, and I have used this forum a few times to point me in the...

It has been a few months, so I thought I would update. After changing the coil, at first it was still tripping and having to leave it alone for a while before it would fire up again. However, that seems to have sorted itself for the most part, I am still getting the odd occasion where that...

Hi everyone, thanks again for all the replies. I replaced the burner solenoid coil, but the problem still persists. it is doing the same as always, runs ok for a day or two, locks out. Sometimes it fires back up straight away, other times it takes multiple resets., either spread out other time...

Thanks for all the replies, they have helped a lot.

Sorry, I missed this reply. I did have the solenoid replaced a few years ago, I will get a new one and see if that helps, from your explanation, it does make sense why it doesn't fire back up until it has been left alone for a few hours. The starting sequence is doing all things as you say, but...

It has the fitted alloy box, but it doesn't seem to matter if the burner cover is fitted or not.

Hi everyone I know there are quite a few threads already about this, but I can't seem to find one that matches my experience. I know my boiler is old, over 20 years since it was fitted, it was brand new, and over the years it has had almost everything replaced, but I still get lock outs very...

If possible, I would hang the SB door on the same wall separating the bathroom so that is facing the top of the stairs. I guess it depends on the space at the top of the stairs.

Rather than a corridor, I would put all the doors next to each to keep the space in the second bedroom. Sorry, not related to your question ....
