    Boiler leak following some plumbing ...

    Thanks for the info Dan. Thought it might be. Anyway, that's much better than needing a new heat ex. Are these o rings a custom size, or am i likely to be able to pick them up from a diy shed? Guess I'll find out soon enough :) I didnt choose the boiler, it was here when i moved in :)

    Boiler leak following some plumbing ...

    Evening all. Was doing a bit of plumbing on the hot water this morning. Due to location, i ended up removing the hot water outlet pipe from the boiler (worcester 28CDi combi approx 2002). After finishing and turning water back on, I had water ****ing out everywhere, not from the new plumbing...

    New Valliant 624 system boiler and a US wifi thermostat?

    OK, point taken about the condensing boilers. As for the "gimmick" lets just agree to disagree. I have been using a "gimmick" for 3 years and for me its fantastic and wont be going in the bin any time soon. I dont "worry" about my heating as you put it, but i certainly don't waste money...

    Can you explain? That seems to defy the laws of thermodynamics to me.

    Replacing thermostat for remote controlable.

    99% sure that you can, but a model number for your current thermostat will confirm it for sure. The internet system that I was involved in designing www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk works with virtually everything and will have an iphone app in about 2 weeks time. There are other systems...

    new gas pipes devaluing my house!

    If this was me I would be absolutely fuming. Afraid i dont know the laws regarding this, but i'm sure you are being fobbed off. You might want to check out www.gardenlaw.co.uk. They have a lot of members who really seem to know their stuff. I would probably write to them and give them 14...

    Advice on replacing Central Heating Room Thermostat

    For that sort of money you have a huge choice in thermostats. Another option that you may want to consider is an internet enabled thermostat. OK it's a little more than your budget, but it will do everything you want + a whole lot more. Here is one from Inspire Home Automation...

    No electric after tripping RCD

    Your PV system is fine. No it can't switch off the main supply (Well not unless it has a major fault anyway) Dont worry about the PV system, it will come back to life once you restore power. You say your friend was changing a light fitting. So either. 1. He isolated the power, but during...

    How do these new fangled toilets work then?

    Stevie. When mine reduced to less than a trickle, it was caused by the fill valve being clogged up with bits of dirt etc. I stripped the valve down and cleaned it all up. Worked fine after that. Didnt take too long either. rjm2k. Not sure if they are all the same, but mine has a float on a...

    Replacement shower valve not working

    Your pump wont come on until the water is flowing above a certain rate. Also i believe a lot of these thermostatic valves need both hot and cold water present to work. How did you isolate the water when doing the change? Did you have isolater valves or did you have to drain down the tank...

    My Shower is causing my RCCB to trip...please help!

    Before going out to buy another switch, why dont you disconnect the shower wiring from the switch? (With the power off of course) Then if the switch doesnt trip the RCD, then you know its the shower at fault. As for the switch, yes you need double pole. Size. Use the formula of Power =...

    Fitting shelves in a large alcove

    OK Thanks for the advice guys. I'll probably go with the 3 upright approach. Good suggestion with the angle iron though, never thought of that.

    Fitting shelves in a large alcove

    After a bit of advice regarding shelving. I have a large alcove measuring nearly 2m (193cm) x 38cm, and would like to put a few shelves up to store the childrens toys etc (Am rapidly running out of floor space :) ). I was thinking about the "torsion box" approach with two sheets of MDF/ply...

    Feed to Garage

    The capacitor is only switched in to start the motor. This allows an induction motor to work on a single phase supply. It doesnt make it 3 phase though. Also, you may want to know. A modern pump for your typical garden swimming pool will use about 200 watts. So if yours really draws 4.2A...

    Wiring for shed

    Hello all, I have finally finished building my lean to shed and it now needs some power. A quick look through part p suggests that a shed is not a special location and as it is attached to the house, there will be no outside wiring. My earth system is PME and there are no extraneous...
