Very carefully written article - a 90% increase in efficiency could be an increase from 1% to 1.9% so still crap. In the real world it would be cheaper to put the wires in the air on poles and have a link from the car to the overhead wire - just as they used to have when I was a kid for the...

Maybe not but there is a bell timer on the panel. You think the bell will run until the battery dies if the panel is disconnected?

It has a bell, not a siren.

As I read the instructions the bell timer is how long the bell rings for. Put the fuse back in a couple of hours ago so we don’t have a disturbed night.

Documents in case anyone else finds one

No ladders, if it goes off will see if the neighbours have one I can borrow. If I disconnect the main battery the bell does ring, have turned the bell timer down as far as possible but with babies in the house I am not allowed to let it ring……. At least I have stripped the sensors out so can...

Started today and have disconnected the sensors, power is off and bell not ringing. If I disconnect the battery the bell rings, don’t want too much disturbance so letting the batteries run down. When I took off the cover I found the installation instructions rolled up inside. Panel...

Now you have got that far I suggest taking the light fully out of the ceiling so you can get hold of it properly. You may find a makers name on it. The ring you are trying to remove is a bezel and there appears to be at least one retaining spring missing.

My son had a new build flat with an MVHR, worked a treat until my wife started to get respiratory problems when we visited. How many people with these systems know they need to clean the filters . . . . doing that fixed the respiratory problems.

Thinking outside the box - a larger stainless sink with drainer and the tap mounted in the sink. That looks like long term neglect - rental property?

I would never lay tiles on Chipboard, even marine ply needs much more support than standard joists give. If you want tiles then start from scratch with cross members between the joists, marine ply in place of chipboard then tile with flex adhesive - and even then the slightest mistake in...

Remember that you don't just need space for the meter, the current (Smets 2) units need a Comms Hub which sits on top of the electricity meter.

Looks like a Honeywell

If I follow the link posted there is a “Talk to us” button - did you use it and what did they say? Interested as I may do the same.

I grew up with open fires and always wonder why people prefer them to simple, clean gas or electric. They generally don’t spit embers out onto your floor either - was it sycamore that was notorious for this.

Duct collapses generally happen when backfilling, was a rope put in at installation and was it checked before you paid the contractor? A cobra may help, then a camera if that doesn’t work. Water jetting may clear it if it is silted, other than that - dig.

Doh

I think I have worked it out, doesn’t appear to be anything to do with the siphon in the pan but the siphon in the cistern. Air is leaking into the siphon through the hole that the plunger moves through in sufficient volume to disrupt the siphonic action so flushing only uses about 1/3 of the...

Be wary if you get ftth, the new hub had one fewer port. Bu**er, I was using all 5!

It is called "intellectual property". Even when you buy a CD/DVD you are only buying a limited right to view the recording (e.g. no commercial use) and you do not own the content. Sky is selling a right to view subject to certain conditions which include having a Sky subscription. Some of...
