    Gas or induction hob

    Read the MIs... most refer to it. Also the advice on BHF and NHS websites https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/pacemaker-implantation/ It's not just induction hobs. Power tools could potentially do stuff too, I expect as hairdryers are listed as 'avoid using too near'. Most importantly...

    Macerator choice and install query

    You can't claim it back after paying the VAT. It must be zero vat rated when purchased. e.g. an Installer would zero rate the Invoice for it, and its installation (with a suitable user declaration, if needed) as part of the disabled ensuite room addition works. Not sure that's possible for a...

    Remove old kitchen tap...help!

    I think (and could be wrong) that silver threaded rod will have a screwdriver slot in it... remove the rod and then the U-part may be able to move / drop down. What happens after that I've no idea... as it don't look like it'll fit through the nylon load spreader hole; nor does it look like...

    Mobility Scooter battery, which one...

    Exactly where are you measuring these voltages? A series pair of SLA/Gel batteries, open circuit at 25C should be 25.600 Volts for 100% SoC... (after any surface charge removal). Slightly lower Volts at 21 C. So your meter is either very inaccurate (over-reading) or you are not removing the...

    Cutout fuse size

    RR Evoque PHEV has a 7.4kW (32A) on board ac charger according to Mr Google's AI. So a full 7.4 kW evse (charge point) will be fully usable... but at around £1k installed is it worth it for the charging time difference? (Compared to a 10 A, 2.4 kW granny lead). For 15kWh of battery. My 69...

    Boiler hot water flunctuates

    Flow rate too low for the selected mixed temperature means the combi cycles on/off? Shower with the output flow rate higher all the time? Or were you meaning something else? You might also check/service the shower mixer valves: inlet filters may be restricting the hot flow due to limescale...

    Cutout fuse size

    As above - what PHEV make and model is it? You may not benefit from a 7.4 kW evse point install as the vehicle on board charger will limit what can be put into the battery and current taken from a 240V (nominal 230) supply. What does the vehicle handbook/spec say? "Future-proofing" by...

    Chassis mount connector for 16v ac output

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126899929044 may be a bit OTT wrt waterproofing etc, but... XLR plug/socket could be repurposed (mobility scooters use 3 pin for charger-scooter battery connections at 24 V 2 A DC, perhaps more). In fact there are many suitably rated sockets out there.

    Internal bubble expansion

    Hmm... MY T&P relief valve has never let water by... I know the bubble is 'gone' by the HW pressure when opening a hot tap being higher than normal / faster flow and then slowing. I guess if I left it like that long enough it might? Nothing out of the commissioning drain cock suggests to me...

    Internal bubble expansion

    No idea. The OSO commissioning valve is also the secondary return location (not fitted on mine) and about 1/2 tank height. The T&P valve is nearer 3/4 from bottom. Oso say my 210 litre nominal can hold 250 litres if the HW dip pipe is removed and an external pressure vessel installed. The...

    Internal bubble expansion

    Indeed they are. But many people would skip that step 2. With the T&P valve open (45 degree twist) you should hear 'gurgling' that will be fast at start and then slow -- gurgling and water flowing out should stop eventually. Will take some time as the air gets in via the T&P valve to the...

    Internal bubble expansion

    Step 2 in the instructions of the manual applies, surely? :unsure: Not that I bother with my OSO air bubble unvented. Just wastes a fair bit of hot water. If I remember I replenish the bubble on return from a holiday away (and it's been long enough since the last time).

    Induction hob trips RCD

    But you did. :notworthy: I merely repeated it to try to reinforce the point to the OP who is ignoring the advice given... and not only by you (and I)! :eek:

    Random loss of TV signal

    Lets assume the last 3-way amplified splitter had +8dB gain. Any two-way splitter is -4 dB loss. Nett +4 dB over the 66 dB from aerial = 70dB. Again, the potential for overload on the new super-sensitive set... You've marginally helped to lower signal level with the new box but not enough...

    Induction hob trips RCD

    Hob faulty. Disconnect it and get it replaced immediately. Do not use without an earth connected. Note most hobs have electronic controls and that electronics uses power even when all the "burners" are off. Likely that controller or some radio frequency interference suppressor component has...

    Random loss of TV signal

    OK, for the PM'd postcode Wolfbane predicts 58 dBuV/m field strength at 10m (rooftop) level from CP. 61dBuV/m field from Guildford. Both have nominally clear line of sight between the aerials (excluding any trees or buildings). Freeview (BBC spectrum planners) are all Green 100 or 99% of...

    Random loss of TV signal

    I may well know said person (in a professional capacity) in either BBC Research or EID/Reception Advice. It was part of my job to use such kit at one time (90s) and advise trade and public on reception matters. Full Postcode? One within 100 yards of your own (or metres) for a shop, pub...

    Electric VW so cheap.....why

    Bulb ID

    Need to dig out the manuals and any wiring diagrams for the boat. Find all the breakers and fuses and check. A multimeter will be an invaluable tool to have / learn to use. NB I'd not bet on there being any cover / diffuser missing https://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/Item/BA15DBW-2 looks very...

    Washing machine advice

    Better quality shirts? We've ancient poly cotton bed sheets that are fine (BHS). Newer ones are wearing at the folded seams (M&S). Fortunately doesn't affect the functionality of those sheets.
