    Topping up a System Boiler

    Problem solved - I traced the cold water pipework and found that there was a fill loop on the cold water pipe beside the hot water tank in the airing cupboard. Turned that on and the boiler topped up. Bit random as it's the other side of the house from the boiler itself. So managed to get it...

    Topping up a System Boiler

    Hi - so boiler been topping up for the last 30 minutes or so and the guage has barely moved, doesn't sound like water is flowing into the boiler any more. Picture of guage as it is now. Turned off the loop for the moment.

    Topping up a System Boiler

    Opened both valves on the filling loop this morning and let it run for about a minute - pressure guage barely moved - picture attached. Closed the filling loop - so it looks like the loop under the sink does the job but my question is how long should it take to re-pressurise? Any boiler I've...

    Replacing 2 Way Varilight Dimmer with a Standard Switch

    Hi - yes the ceiling light was part of a two way switch. That wire with exposed copper is well attached to that terminal so not loose.

    Replacing 2 Way Varilight Dimmer with a Standard Switch

    Sorry - probably my incorrect use of terminology. One switch on the dimmer operates the ceiling lights and the other uplighters in the same room. The ceiling light is also controlled from another switch in the room.

    Replacing 2 Way Varilight Dimmer with a Standard Switch

    This is a house with pre-2006 wiring. I was exploring the wiring behind a 2 way varilight dimmer switch with a view to getting rid of it and just replacing with a normal switch. As usual it's a bit of a snakes nest - diagram attached and photo. All the cables connected are Red. How do I map...
