    Wiring for a 2 gang outdoor weatherproof switch ALTO AL4268

    I've just bought the above switch to fit in the garden for a light and a pump for a water feature. I can't work out how to wire it. The light and pump each have a blue and a brown wire. The wire bringing the power from the garage 3 pin plug also has a blue and a brown wire. The 2 gang IP55...

    Towel radiator fixings broken

    The chrome (plastic) fixings have broken on my Myson towel radiator so I have had to remove it from the wall. The Myson fixing kit C has been recommended by Myson, but the 4 fixings cost £68 + VAT and these are still chrome/plastic and look rubbish. Does anyone know where I can get 4 generic...

    Waste Disposal - kitchen sink

    I have an existing waste disposal and want to replace my kitchen sink but continue to use the waste disposal. Will I be able to fit the existing waste disposal to a new sink with a standard 60mm waste or do I need to find a new sink with a bigger waste?

    All radiators cold after draining system.

    6 weeks ago I put Sentinel sludge buster in the radiator system. Today I drained the system, refilled it, bled all the radiators, switched on but no radiators get even mildly warm. The pump and pipes either side it are very hot. The input pipes to the first couple of radiators are quite hot. I...

    Dimmer switch - 480watts G9 Halogen

    I need a double dimmer switch where one switch controls 2 ceiling lights each with 6 G9 40watts, and the other controls 2 wall lights each with 3 G9 40watts. The switch for the wall lights needs to be 2 way. So I think a 2G 2W 2x400vA won't be enough as I have a load of 480watts on the first...

    Dimplex Storage Heater TOO HOT

    I have two Dimplex Ultra Slim storage heaters in my flat. One works fine, the other (model XT12) is always really hot (almost too hot) , even when both control knobs (for heat and boost) are on position 1 out of 5. Any ideas?

    CHANGING IMMERSION HEATER ELEMENT

    I'm about to replace the element which uses Economy 7 in my hot water cylinder. After draining the cylinder I'm assuming the old element will come out OK with the correct tool which I've got. To put the new immersion heater with safety thermostat in, should I use 'Boss Supergreen with PTFE' to...

    ECONOMY 7 HOT WATER NOT WORKING

    Just electric in the house - no gas. I have 2 switches in the airing cupboard, one for the immersion heater to heat the hot water (which works fine), and the other one also to heat the hot water overnight using Economy 7 night rate. This one doesn't work - any ideas?

    MOST RADIATORS COLD

    On Saturday I poured 2 litres of Sentinel X400 Sludge Remover into the system via a towel radiator, having drained off sufficient water from a drain tap downstairs. All was fine with 19 of the 20 radiators. One (where I had added the drain tap above) was cold - it has never heated up properly...

    Hot Grundfos pump?

    I've just replaced my pump with a GRUNDFOS Super Selectric UPS 15-60 130 pump which was quite an easy job done in half an hour. How hot is the pump supposed to get when the heating is on? It feels at least as hot as the radiators (which may be right as hot water is passing through it)? I...
