    Replacing my old flash immermat timer to a hive thermostat - H & HW V4 with hive nano hub

    Hmmm. My unvented HW cylinder has daily losses of circa 2 kWh... According to the manufacturer. That would be 18 kWh per week without using any water from it. I can't dispute your actual measured numbers but you must have the smallest HW cylinder and be exceedingly frugal with HW draw-off...

    Timed FCU

    I use a Meross smart plug to control a towel radiator, outside the room, of course. But any similar smart switch control will work whatever the brand. That's what I'd fit in your adjacent cupboard. 13A socket and towel rail wired into a fused plug into the smart switch.

    Expansion tank pressure

    Is this an unvented hot water cylinder pressure vessel? White usually. Or a boiler pressure vessel? Red usually. The manufacturers installation manuals should specify the setting and how to do it...

    new 43" TV with SCART?

    Not that I know of. Some TVs have a Composite PAL video (and stereo audio) input : 3x RCA or 4-pole 3.5 mm jack. Not always listed in the specs so need examination of connection panel and/or manuals. You may already have suitable connections or cables in the man cave? My 65LV2000 oled from...

    Drayton LP522 to Drayton Wiser kit 1

    Yellow / blue in T3 and 4 on old backplate move to T1 and 2 on the wiser backplate. You may already have done that, though. Live also needs linking to T1 (the 522 did that bit internally). EDIT wrong wiring see later corrected post

    Twin socket extension boat

    DO ensure you use flexible cable(s) and NOT twin + earth for this boat/caravan mains wiring. You will, of course, also need a suitable double back box to contain the exposed terminals on the rear of the C-lines. Or two single back boxes when there'd be a need for some outer sheath on any...

    PCB plug advice needed

    I suspect one need pictures of the PCB (with a scale alongside) and or the PCB ID numbers. Pin diameter and length and spacing will be critical, usually. CPC Farnell and RS Components might stock a range that could fit?

    RJ45 to USBC

    What sat nav map download was that? What car make? With my Ford Galaxy the bottleneck was always their servers rather than my ISP / BT Openreach FTTC service; and my home wifi was never an issue. IIRC the downloads took well in excess of two hours for a file around the 25GB mark. The...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    Then you can't change the storage heaters. They are not your property and would need to restore the flat to 'original condition' when moving out. Same goes for the shower pump suggestion; permissions may be sought but they may require a 'trusted trader' to do the work? Same goes for the...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    Do you own or part-own, as in shared ownership, this flat? If owned why do you need Housing Association input/approval? If part owned then it makes better sense. I'd suggest that a larger capacity unvented HW storage tank (170 l or even 210 l) is another option to give a proper shower at...

    Immersion hot water not lasting long enough!

    finding a connector for my camera

    BNC Plug... 75 ohm or 50 ohm, though? Read the camera manual / specs ... the BNC centre pin is a different size -- so ensure the right one is used. {Most likely domestic a/v / security camera is 75 ohm but... } You can buy ready made 75 ohm BNC plug RG59 cable leads - which is likely to be...

    Double Flush Valve Washer Replacement—Part Number needed

    Alternative is to replace the whole valve mechanism... e.g. https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-2-dual-flush-valve/198pw or something like that. Much more difficult than searching online for a mechanism that looks the same or taking the removed item to a proper plumbers merchant or two for an...

    Random loss of TV signal

    Would be better in a separate thread? LCN 1 & 2 - SD? Watch 101 and 102 in HD instead. (HD mux also carries ITV1, C4 and C5 HD).
