Crystal Thanks for your post but I need the 2.5 litre tin. For some reason that seems to be the one that they no longer manufacture. Unfortunately I have too much exterior wood for 250ml tins!

I have a 1930s Mock Tudor house with all of the external timber, soffits, window sills etc painted Matt Black. The last time I touched up this paintwork I used the product in the subject line. I bought a 2.5L tin and I've discovered that I only have a very small amount left. I obviously need...

You need a threshold strip however I think you will struggle to find one that wide. I had this problem a couple of years ago so I screwed a batten to the floor that more or less spanned the gap with the top sitting just below the level of the floor. I then bought a strip of oak that was...

Bump

Virtually all of my downstairs flooring is the original 1930s floorboards, I believe that it's redwood? The summer before last I sanded them all and covered with 4 coats of Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish. Within 6 months or so there was very noticeable wear in high traffic areas Eg...

Winston, Thanks I'll check the GU10 lights a bit more closely. Can I ask though is it possible that a broken connection on one of the GU10s would affect the MR16 as well?

I would appreciate some advice please with regards to some GU10 LED Bulbs that I recently fitted. Previously in my en-suite shower room I had two GU10 downlighters (halogen bulbs) and an integrated extractor fan & MR16 spotlight, similar or possibly identical to this -...

Apologies for resurrecting a slightly older thread but I thought I would post the outcome of this long running saga. I phoned npower twice to ask them to speak to the engineer and their parts ordering dept Re the second PCB (that controls the storage pump) as they appeared to have changed the...

As they haven't changed the storage tank PCB yet I will suggest that to them as it seems a lot easier to gain access to that and I know that in a lot of cases this will cure the fault. I know that the new PCBs without the software glitch were fitted to 937s manufactured at some point in 2008 but...

Nope definitely don't have a VR61 then. The controller/thermostat is a Salus

Joe, Forgive my ignorance but I'm assuming a VR61 is a separate component to the boiler and not inside it?? If so I don't have one. The only Vaillant product I have is the boiler. Thanks

In that case they have replaced the incorrect PCB. The one they have already changed is on the front behind the electronic display and I'm pretty sure that they changed this thinking it was the one with the software glitch that has been discussed in other threads.

Tipper & Agile - That's what I was thinking if npower couldn't sort it but I didn't know that npower may arrange that. I'll dig out the T&Cs to see if it mentions this anywhere. Mick - They have already changed a PCB. Is there a separate one for the storage tanks? The APC pump is next which I...

Firstly apologies for the long post but a lot has happened! I have a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 937 that was fitted in October 2008. It has been serviced annually and there have not been any issues until Feb this year when the boiler started making a vibrating noise when the pump was on. I have...

Simond - Thanks for your reassurance. By what you're saying either option would work. I don't live too far from Woldingham so it would be similar soil for them to tunnel through. Agile - I will speak to the foreman again or preferably the rep from SGN who is sometimes on site. The run of...

Just a quick(ish) post to get some advice. This involves moving the gas meter and gas supply pipe (pipe from mains to ECV & Meter) so not 100% sure this is correct part of forum? Anyway my gas transporter (SGN) are currently renewing mains and supply pipes where I live. I didn't think it...

Herts, I'm aware of the age of the thread and the more recent posts however I found this thread today via a search and it was obviously very useful. It seems to have also been very useful to a number of other people as well. It seems to still be current and relevant despite it's age. It's...

Paul, LIke may others I had a couple of cold radiators. I guessed that the TRV was faulty but assumed they would need replacing but by removing the top of one and manipulating the pin and 'gently' whacking the other with a hammer they are both now piping hot again. Thanks

Coincidentally I visited your shop in August and obtained the parts I needed. I also PM'd your website address to Ron, the other poster, so he may also have been in touch. Small world!

Ron, I got a call from my local plumbers merchants who said that it is virtually impossible to identify the manufacturer of the parts in order to get replacements in different colours. Whirlpool baths are apparently made by hundreds of different manufacturers plus you can get DIY kits and do...
