    Noise on phone line

    Hi, I recently switched my phone line from BT to a LLU provider. Voice calls working as normal, however I have dial-up equipment for work data transfer and the connection on this frequently fails/drops for no reason since transferring my line. Is there any solution? Is this a fault on...

    New Clio Service reminder

    1.4 petrol. It's just the digital reminder: Service due now, not anything requiring fault diagnosis.

    New Clio Service reminder

    Does anyone know how to reset the digital service reminder on my 2006 New Clio? Been serviced by local independent garage who didn't have the computer equipment to do this. Thanks!

    Beko Dishwasher Banging

    Engineer looked at it under warranty yesterday and could not explain the problem. Of course I could not get it to make the noise while he was there! Machine on again tonight and noise started again. Can anyone suggest anything further I might try?

    Beko Dishwasher Banging

    Hi, My Beko dishwasher makes a regular (every second or so) dull thudding sound in the middle of each programme, about half an hour into the cycle, lasting about 20 minutes. First observed about a month ago, and it's only about 3 months old. This happens even if it's run empty. Can...

    Rattly MCB

    Just bought a new B50 Crabtree Starbreaker MCB to connect my new electric shower at the CU. The MCB rattles as if something is loose inside. Is this normal or should I return it for a replacement?

    Burnt Switch

    Hi I did some DIY today, removing the self-installed 20 A switch for my bathroom towel rail. On rescrewing it to the box, the live load wire seems to have become trapped between the switchplate and back box, pressing the live conductor into the metal box as it was screwed tight. So when...

    Low Pressure from Hot tank

    I live in a flat, obviously, I think, so not practical. Anyone know the answer to my question?

    Low Pressure from Hot tank

    I have an immersion heater fed by a storage tank in the same cupboard. Cold water from this tank flows at an adequate pressure, however hot water from the immersion heater flows extremely slowly at times, especially when the water is very hot. Can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks!

    Overnight Heaters

    That's what I thought - I guess I'm just bitter because I've been stood up by cowboys before! Probably did a better job myself in the end...

    Overnight Heaters

    From a customer's point of view, a tradesman deciding just to not turn up to a job is pretty unacceptable. I assume you plan to call your customer well in advance to cancel the appointment. Otherwise, I'd certainly never call you again and I'd advise all my friends, family and work colleagues...

    Economy 7 timings

    The clock is ticking away and I don't see any other control equipment - certainly nothing that resembles a radio teleswitch I've seen before. The whole system is around 25 years old and as far as I'm aware has never been updated since installation!

    Economy 7 timings

    I've just connected an additional storage heater to the off-peak side of my Economy 7 supply. I used the way that had previously been occupied by the immersion heater to connect this, and had planned to reconnect the immersion, via a timer, to the main "always on" CU. The timer would have...

    Economy7 - Again

    I asked the other day about connecting an additional storage heater up to my timed supply with its somewhat undersized tails. I've now decided that it's probably better to connect one of the two storage heaters, or the immersion heater, to the constant supply via a new timer. Which...

    Economy 7 wiring

    Using 230 V gives 31.5 A The tails go through walls, below the floor and through the cavity wall of the flat below to the meter room. It'd be a HUGE job to replace them, if not totally impossible! Otherwise, I would!

    Economy 7 wiring

    My calculation was: 3000 + 2550 + 1700 = 7250 W divided by 240 V (Which all 3 are rated at) = 30.21 A. So much less than the maximum 38 A. Have I made a mistake then?

    Economy 7 wiring

    Golf??? I'll have a look in the meter room and see what I can discover. If this is 6 mm cable, am I OK to add the extra heater as described? Cheers.
