Sorry my fault, I meant the FCU was an unswitched one, then the switched one leading to the fan. Anyway all sorted this afternoon, many thanks.

Great, thanks for your help.

Sorry, what I meant was to put a new FCU before the existing switch: ——————————- new socket for TV New FCU —————————— existing fused switch re-used —————- fan I think that gets to the same result but I don’t have two switches which I thought...

Thanks, so I could connect the socket to a new FCU, which then connects to both the existing switch, and the new socket. i.e both the switch and the socket connected to the load terminals of the FCU?

Hi, My son wants to put up a wall mounted tv in his flat and I’m trying to think of neatest way to get power to it. The nearest existing power is a double socket above the skirting in the corner of the room. That already feeds a spur which goes in mini trunk to a fused switch which controls a...

Thanks tiger, it was indeed the belt. The back panel turns out only gives access to the heater and blower. The front lets you into the drum, the motor, tensioner etc.

Hi, i have a Creda Debonair Compact tumble dryer model 37305. It is a few decades old, but has worked fine until this week and it fits the space we have so don’t want to scrap it just yet. When I rotate the timer knob to switch it on, there is a kind of buzzing noise but no rotation. Hot air...

Ah, found I can get 100mm round to rectangular 204 x 60mm which would still fit between the rafters.

Thanks John that looks ideal for less than £100. The converter seems to go from 100mm round to 110x 54 rectangular which is a smaller cross section. Will this affect noise or performance?

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that.

Planning a refurb of an en suite and one of the issues is mould around the shower and on the ceiling. Room is 1.75m wide x 3.3m long x 2.35 high. Along the long wall the ceiling slopes for about half the width of the room taking the height down to 1.8m. No windows. Currently have a Marley fan...

Thanks Bonni, I’ve got the old board up this afternoon. It was nailed rather than screwed so it was a lot of work with a pry bar, but all fine now. Will get on with the new board during the week.

Hi I’m removing ceramic floor tiles from my bathroom and looking for advice on preparing the surface. I didn’t know what was under the old tiles till I started but seems like it’s 12mm OSB on top of original floorboards. The tiles coming off have left a mess of tile cement and some of the...

Found these that look fine to me, has anyone used them? https://www.nationallighting.co.uk/indoor-lighting/downlights/nitro-4w-cct-dimmable-led-fire-rated-downlight-matt-white-ip65-520lm

Seems to be a 55mm hole, and there don’t appear to be many to choose from that size. Is it best to get integrated LED or does it not matter?

Thanks, sounds like the way to go. I’ll measure the holes in the daylight.

I have eight GU5.3 downlighters with individual transformers in a room about 4m x 6m. The lights are fairly standard types with the round wire clips to hold the bulbs in. They’ve been fine for ten years but recently started failing. I’ve replaced two transformers but now two more bulbs have...

Thanks everyone, apologies for not replying earlier, but threatening to withhold the rent finally got a Gas Safe Register man round and all working now. Have told all the flat mates to leave the boiler alone and just use the timer/controller to manage the system.

Thanks Gasguru,that's really useful, will let you know how we get on with the landlord.

Update to this. The landlord has sent three different engineers. The first two said "yeah, your pressure's too low mate", then left. The latest guy changed a part but I don't know what. It still seems to be a bit hit or miss. Specific questions though: Should the pressure drop to zero when the...
