    honeywell controller (onboard battery replacement)

    The battery for the 699 is readily available https://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/replacement-battery-for-honeywell-st699-p-82.html But there are many sources of similar batteries e.g. CPC Farnell once the size and ratings are known from the markings and likely significantly cheaper...

    Insulated Piercing Connector

    Another Henley block fed from the peak side switch and both red tails into that (as already done for the Neutrals) would be one way. Anyone know if the OP was to go on to a single rate tariff would both both tails from the meter be made live 24/7 automatically??? No wiring changes needed then?

    Basin waste nut size help needed

    Turn off H & C water supplies to the basin just in case. Disconnect the waste / trap (looks like you've already done that). Remove basin complete with waste... NB It's likely to be siliconed on to the counter top so needs a suitable thin blade to cut through that sealant all around -- a...

    Good Freeview recorder

    That August brand box is NOT freeview approved/spec AVOID!!! Humax Aura and Manhattan T-4R are the two main players' current models. Aura has more tuners (simultaneous recording capability) than the Manhattan. BT/EE Pro boxes from CeX are well regarded on AVForums but, officially, are only...

    Shutting off water valve in toilet where no valve visible

    To be frank, in a DIY situation, it's probably easier and quicker to isolate whole home. Open cold tap to release pressure and swap the inlet valve. Two of my toilets the isolation valve needs the arms of Twizzle to reach with both arms needed to feel for the slot while guiding it in to use...

    Split Air conditioning….which is best

    Yes avoid. Well the two indoor multi split Fujitsu unit we had sprang a leak and has since been replaced with MHI units. No-one wanted to repair and they were an older f-gas type Note that 20 year ASHPs use very different F-gasses to today's units (and likely simpler compressor / controls) so...

    Kinetico 2020c HF softener help!

    Googling that model found me the "Technical Manual" for it on the kinetico.eu website. Have you had a read of that? It seems pretty comprehensive at a scan-read to my eyes.

    Random loss of TV signal

    Are all the detailed prediction numbers green for all muxes. Gu21 is far too large an area to pontificate on local reception issues and/or field strengths / line of sight / diffracted etc.,. Ideally, connect aerial direct to the Sony using a joiner to see if that cures the problem... i.e. no...

    EV CHARGING AND FUSE

    Aaargh!!!! Waning powers strikes again... But if it is to be corrected then it should be both Ah and kWh per hour, should it not.

    EV CHARGING AND FUSE

    No my English and Technical Writing of "2.4kW per hour" is perfectly correct. Your phrase is nonsensical (IMHO).

    Random loss of TV signal

    Location? Where are you relative to CP? (Nearby postcode ideally within 100m, but place name will suffice.) What aerial do you have? Where (loft, roof, room) Any amplification (signal boosters). The symptom (High signal with quality dropping causing glitching) can be due to too much signal...

    Freesat TV Satellite box upgrade

    Another question (as well as the Grundig model number) will be the Logik TV model number... If it is SD only, as I suspect the Grundig to be, and has analogue RCA/scart only inputs it may be new TV time. If it has at least one HDMI input then it's OK (provided the hdmi input works).

    Freesat TV Satellite box upgrade

    NB a very big clue to me is the Freesat logo on the front panel rather than the Freesat HD logo. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/3043256/Grundig-Gufsat02sd.html#manual looks like the box above and has SD in the model number (GUFSAT02SD), scart only, no hdmi connection. Whereas the HD version...

    shallow depth K2 radiators?

    614 Watts at delta T 20C (40 flow, 20 Room - halls don't need to be hot ;) ). Stelrad can probably provide numbers if you ask them nicely? https://www.stelrad.com/news-events/blog/the-importance-of-delta-t-in-calculating-heating-output/ https://www.radiatorsdirect.co.uk/delta-t-conversion has...

    Freesat TV Satellite box upgrade

    You need to find out if it works or not. Ask others in the building and the Buildings Management Company (Factors in Scotland). If no sat signal no use buying a freesat box... Likely, however it is working and you have a Standard Def DVB-S Grundig box that no longer receives BBC at all...

    Split Air conditioning….which is best

    Choose your favoured Installer(s)... They'll have a favourite brand, or two at most. So when getting competitive quotes you are unlikely to get two offering the exact same thing (but a variation on the brand). Some will suggest multiple split packs rather than multi-room. Choice of indoor...

    shallow depth K2 radiators?

    Radiator brackets often allow two distances from wall to radiator lug fixing... Stelrad softline are 17mm or 31mm depending on how bracket affixed to wall... Stelrad P+ would be 102mm from wall (K2 125mm), according to my 2017 copy of the brochure pages. P+ would be 2152W cf 1658W K1 and 2771W...

    EV CHARGING AND FUSE

    Yours should be showing 7kW while heating HW and charging the home battery = 32 A... so an EVSE would reduce the EV to 28A under load balancing. Another 10A (say) from the washing machine heater would make the EV drop to 18A... Then back to 28A when the washing waters hot enough. The EV would...
