But ours can hold all the washing at the same time, not just one load. We have a conventional condensing tumble dryer which needs the tank emptying but doesn't heat the neighbourhood as a vented one would, all the "wasted" heat stays inside of the house replacing energy the boiler would use...

Thanks, changed the thermostat on ours three months ago so have done similar things in the past. Still working remotely though so have asked her to reset the clock and see what happens, my suspicion is "nothing". Am going over tonight with my meter, will take the oven out and see what needs...

Not to use the oven and it is the oven that isn’t getting hot, she realised after putting her tea in and 10 minutes later the oven was still cold. My assumption is that the over tripped the rcd when something failed.

Daughter called an hour ago because she had lost power, one rcd tripped and now reset. 10 minutes ago she calls back - oven not working. It is a Bosch and about 4 years old, how do I work out if it is the element, fan or thermostat? The grill is still heating up. It is a couple of miles...

Thanks, knowing the wife she will want the thermostat on the wall where the existing one is, there are TRVs in most rooms. will probably bridge out the thermostat to avoid it confusing her.

We have a system boiler and a 20 year old Drayton LP112 controller so heat and water on/off times are the same. Have been considering upgrading to a Drayton 722 which would be a straight swop and give us different timings for heating and water but this still requires us to be at home to push...

Surely if the original DETA was OK all the OP needs to do is buy a new DETA intermediate from somewhere like CEF. There are other suppliers and other brands.

My main concern would be having something substantial enough to fix the frame to.

I had just changed the seal but not got it seated properly

I think I have answered my own question. You have to fit the seal properly, so it seats fully around the lip on the retainer!

As above, it isn’t overflowing, I have changed the seal at the bottom, there is nothing on the sealing surface . . . . It is still allowing some water through the bottom seal had some blisters on it and has been replaced with a fluid master seal. Is the only solution to change the valve?

I have one from the 80s, needed a new top so they went on the Xmas list. the parts from b&d were more than a new workmate so they bought me a new one! It is crap, made new top for the old one out of a table top and it lives on.

Yellow sand from builders merchant and opc, may need to try different mixes until it matches Will be grey but not as dark as when using red sand. standard sand where I grew up was yellow, where I live now it is red.

A drill to remove, new ones and a riveting tool to refix

Getting the insulation sorted helped and saw 20C before changing the radiator - warmer than it has been before. Stelrad 1600 radiator delivered (eventually) from Screwfix. Tuffnells claimed to have delivered it when they hadn't so got it 2 days late. To help flow as much as possible it was...

Varilight V Pro from TLC and some dimmable 7W G9 LEDs ordered, when the lamps arrived they had nothing on the packaging about being dimmable and when fitted didn't dim, supplier now providing return details. Some 6W Dicuno replacements ordered and with dimmer in standard mode (2?) they dimmed...

Height is limited by a window with a low sill, could go wider. Might get a 450mm Stelrad in but 500 won’t fit.

We have a large room 5m x 4m which has always been a little cool. It has a partial pitched roof with a bedroom over 3/4 of it. Window about 3m2 and 2 outside walls (cavity insulated) and one wall to garage probably insulated. Online calculators show about 6000 btu required. A thermometer is...

Do they mean mole plough or directional drill? Moving can mean either If they intend to plough them in are you sure there are no other services they can hit with the plough.

No neutral at switch but I could add one if necessary. It is the Varilight dimmers I was looking at. The V-pro is listed as silent and is TE, the V-com is LE but not listed as silent which implies noisy . . . Any recommendations on lamps, I presume those using triac dimming are not suitable...
