It's all beyond me now I'm afraid but hope you manage to sort it.

I had a Henry with an intermittent problem like that, turned out to be the brushes, easy enough to replace if that is the problem. This might help https://www.espares.co.uk/advice/howto/how-to-replace-numatic-henry-carbon-brushes

It's certainly a possibility which I hadn't considered as it would require some major rewiring in both properties, even if the cottage cable was adequately rated (which I think it is). Something else to think about, thank you.

Sorry, I read too fast and misunderstood, I thought you were suggesting running the whole house on the 'cheap rate'. To use THTC in the cottage we'd have to install storage heaters and then re-wire all the cottage electrics to the relevant meters. The other issue with sticking with THTC is that...

Thanks I'll look into these links.

This would be possible, and something we could get done easily, though I don't think the SSE would like it if they found out we were using their 'cheap rate meter' for standard energy use.

We live in Scotland and our electric is supplied by SSE. We have THTC tariff which is common in remote areas. Essentially we have two meters, a bit like Economy 7, but instead of cheap overnight electric we get cheap rate for certain ‘heating’ items eg storage heaters/immersion heater/electric...

Did you ever resolve your problem Buckaroo?

Thanks roboughton, take your point. Suspect we'll end up getting a new/ more modern tank. Have contacted Kee services and waiting to hear back from them.

Thank you all for your replies. There isn’t a ‘T’ as such at the inlet/outlet pipes, just a baffle above the level of the outlet/inlet that prevents scum/solids entering the pipes. When we first moved here all the rainwater goods went through our septic tank too – not a good system, once that...

We have a coffin style fibreglass septic tank (approx 4m x 1m x 1.5m deep) installed we guess about 30 years ago. When emptied last week it was apparent that the internal dividing wall (very approx 1m x 1m) had become detached and was now floating on the liquid surface. We suspect this may have...

The old board might be in the bin, I'll have a rummage if it helps. Will happily scan the wiring diagram for the new PCB for you. Can you message me your email address so I can send it direct to you - don't know how successful I'd be posting a photo on here!

I bypassed it initially just to prove it was the cause and then replaced it – I need a lower suction for curtains/cushions so didn’t want to bypass permanently and lose the lower power option. NB the PCB design has actually changed (still 4 terminal) and is wired slightly differently – there is...

Just wanted to say a big thank you, especially to treytrey, for all the help and advice on here. Combined with various videos on YouTube I have been able to strip down/diagnose/repair my Henry and feel well able to tackle any future problems. In my case the symptom was the same as besty90 –...

Think I might join them !

Ooops, sorry Taylortwocities for posting in wrong place, thanks for moving. Thanks for your reply EFLImpudence.

Top oven and grill working but can't get main oven to work - no oven light, no fan and light on temp dial (the one that goes off when oven is up to temp) not coming on either. Have checked that oven is not set to auto. Any ideas on what the fault could be please? Thanks

Thanks Jackrae, you've given me some food for thought, atleast now I can have an educated fiddle with the TV setup!

We have just bought a Toshiba TV to replace an old TV that’s dying. The signal to the TV is currently via a coaxial cable and the new TV does not recognise the signal (I now read from the manual it needs to go into a scart socket on the TV). We are not in a Freeview area and our Sky box is in...

We have managed to put in all the back boxes and eventually devised a method that worked for us - we cut through the plaster with a stanley knife at a slight angle so that when the plasterboard saw was used it didn't have to rub against the edge of the plaster. As usual only got the knack when...
